 long and wide, containing a number of islands. Its outlet has not, 

 as yet, been definitely established, but a very probable one is offered 

 as follows. It begins at the swamp just south of Alford moun-

 boundary line (altitude 2105^ feet), and passes westward through 

 the narrow pass (altitude 1980 feet) directly south of Van Dorrien 

 mountain to Blueberry pond. Continuing westward into the Long 

 Lake quadrangle, on the boundary between the two maps, it turns 

 to the southwest and passes three-fourths of a mile south of Palmer 

 brook. When within a mile of the Raquette river, the course turns
