From the situation of these deposits, it is clear thatthey sustain a definite relation to the comparativelysmall streams coming down into the plain from themountains to the northwest. Of these the Bishaho,which comes through Nankau pass, is the largest. Evi-dently, at the time of the deposit of the deltas, water-level was met at the base of the mountains at theelevation of six hundred feet, which is that of the headof the delta spreading out from the Nankau pass. Itseems also clear that, at the time of the main deposition,the material to which the stream had access was much. f ?$-iV-:
