long
 ., and flowing
south
  by west to a junction with the Negro. It has rapids in its upper course, but the greater
part
  of its length of 348 M. is navigable for steamers of light
draught
 . The Takutu rises in the Roraima and Coirrit ranges on the
Guiana
  frontier, while the Uraricoera rises in the Serra de Parima, on the Venezuelan frontier, and has a length of 36o m. before reaching the Branco. These are
white
  water rivers, from which the Branco (
