My examination of this part of the country was made from San Felipe Bay, which lies about 6okm south of the mouth of the Rio Colorado in latitude 310 N. The western shore of the Gulf between this point and the river is made up of a continuation of the mud-flats of the delta, and has great expanses covered with Cressa and salt grass. 10 Parish, S.
