Daniels, Bendigo.— The largest rivers m the world are the Mississippi, (including the Missouri), the Amazon, and the Yang-tse-kiang, which are respectively 4096, 3545, and 3314 miles. The Molyneux (or Clutha) ; River haa three main sources in the I Wakatip, Wanaka, and Hawea Lakes. These are fed by torrents from the [ western snowy mountains. The j longest course of the Molyneux from [ its embouchure in the sea to its re1 motest source is about 185 miles j that is, to the fountain of the Dart, which branch flows into the Wakatip Lake. Thia again empties its waters into the Kaivaraii, which, joining the waters of the Upper Clutha at Cromwell, the two form one main stream till the delta is arrived at near Balclutha, where the waters separate again into the Koau and Mahau I branches. A junction is again made close to the sea. According to Mr Balfour's estimate, the ordinary discharge of the Molyneux is at the rate t of 1,690,000 cubic feet per minute. ; The Nile is thus exceeded by it whose discharge is 1,386,000, while in Great Britain the Tay has only 274,000, and the Thames 102,000 jpubjo feet p«r minute,
