Guiandot is about the width of the river laft mentioned, but is more ra- pid. It may be navigated by canoes 60 miles.
The Great Kanhaway is a river of con- fiderable note for the fertiUty of its lands, and ftill more, as leading towards the head waters of James river. Neverthelefs, it is doubtful whether its great and numerous rapids will admit a navigation, but at an expence to which it will require ages to render its inhabitants equal. The great obftacles begin at what are called the Great Falls, 90 miles above the mouth, below which are only five or fix rapids, and thefe paffable, with fome difficulty, even at low water. From the falls to the mouth of Greenbriar is 100 miles, and thence to the lead mines 120. It is 280 yards wide at its mouth.
Hockhocking is 80 yards wide at its mouth, and yields navigation for loaded batteaux to the Prefs-place, 60 miles above its mouth.
The Little Kanhaway is 150 yards wude at the mouth. It yields a navigation of lo miles only. Perhaps its northern branch called Junius's creek, which interlocks with the weftern of Monongahela, may one day admit a fhorter paffage from the lat- ter into the Ohio.
The Mnjlingum is 280 yards wide at its mouth, and 200 yards at the lower Indian towns, 150 miles upwards. It is navigable for fmall batteaux to within one mile of a navigable part of Cayahoga river, which runs into Lake Erie.
At Fort Pitt the river Ohio lofes its name, branching into the Monongahela and AUeghaney.
The Monongahela is 400 yards wide at its mouth. From thence is 12 ar 15 miles to the mouth of Yohogany, where it is 300 yards wide. Thence to Red- ftone by water is 50 miles, by land 30. Then to the mouth of Cheat river by water 40 miles, by land 28, the width continuing at 300 yards, and the navigation good for bq^ts. Thence the width is about
