GULLIVER. — SHORELINE TOPOGRAPHY.

variety of stunted delta shown on tlie same sheet is that of another ditch-like 

 stream, one kilometer north of Vorsaa, which produces slight alteration in the 

 shore curve and is not deflected, but the land on the north of the stream decidedly 

 offsets that upon the south, indicating again a current from the right (Denm., 

 Frederikshavn). 



Kolkjaer and Brendelsig give no indication as to direction of current (Denm., 

 Aalborg). 



Haslevgd is deflected to the south, suggesting a current from right ^Denm., 

 Mariager). 



Kjul, Ugerby, and Tversted deltas suggest current from right (Denm., Hirshals).

The Tinto river is strongly deflected to the right and shows very little projection 

 of a delta (Spain, Huelva; Stieler, 35). 



The Tet delta (Fr., 255). 



6. Blocked Streams. — If the sea action is relatively stronger than in the last 

 case it may close up completely the mouth of the rivers (Fig. 31). The water 

 from the typical ponded streams on the Oceanside sheet, California, reaches the 

 sea by percolation through the beach. 



The stream intention is often completely blocked by the sea when the water is 

 carried in a deflected course far to the right or left, and such examples have been 

 included in this category.
