The upper branches of the Peralta Canyon are known by differ- 

 ent names; see [28:65] and [28:66]. In its lowest course the 

 Peralta is a typical arroyo, having a delta [28:78] at its conflu- 

 ence with the Kio Grande just south of Cochiti Pueblo [28:77]. 

 For some distance below the confluence of [28:6.5] and [28:66] the 

 Peralta is a broad canyon or valley with very high sides. It car- 

 ries water perennially down as far as this section. 



Between Cochiti [28:77] and this point [the confluence of Coye Canyon 

 [28:65] with the Peralta] tlie north side of the Peralta is lined by very pictur- 

 esque forms of erosion, isolated cones of white tufa, each capped by a boulder. 

 At the Barranco Blanco [28:73] hundreds of these cones cluster together, 

 presenting the appearance of a long border of snow-white tents. Beyond the 

 mouth of the Ko-ye [28:65], the gulch changes its name to that of the Canada 

 Quemada [28:66].'
