1 The anastomosis of these Punjab river- i.< and probably has been a, 

 fluctuating- factor, so that the actual number of tributaries which commenced 

 to cut back from the main river across the Punjab and Rdjputana along 

 supposed geosynelines. is a matter of pure speculation. The tributaries 

 branched, and the geosynclines may have done the same ; but their present 

 parallelism and the general equality of their distances apart suggest that the 

 number of these tributaries, half-way across, was live or perhaps six : four of 

 them remain, one is a dry ehannel, and if a sixth ever exi.str'l farther south, 

 no trace of it has been recorded.
