30 off, on the left or eastern side, two branches—the Mull and
31 Moutnee, once great streams, but now, dying the dry season,
32 shallow rivulets. At the time that Carless wrote, in 1837, the
33 Hujamree and Kedywaree mouths, which gave exit to two other
34 branches sent off by the Sata on the right side, were navigable,
35 but in 1839 the Hujamree4 mouth was closed by a great altera- 4 1a. 220,

37 branches on the right and left side, the Sata, still the main stream
