On account of the peninsular form of this Welsh 

 county, the rivers have but a very limited range. The 

 Conway takes its rise out of a large sheet of water, and 

 is soon swelled into a considerable stream, by the 

 accession of several feeders — the Serw, the Cletttm; and 

 the Avon Hwch on the right; and the Maehno and 

 the Sedan on the left. There is a fall in the river 

 Maehno of considerable elevation, which, when its 

 waters are flooded, produces a very grand and romantic 

 effect. There are also several rapids and falls in the 

 Conway and the Sedan. After the junction of the 

 latter stream, the Conway iiows in a northern direction, 

 and on its left bank receives the waters of the Llugwy, 

 which spring from a high mountain called Carnedd. In 

 this tributary there are some fine rod-iishing localities ; 

 and there are also a number of beautifid and interesting 

 waterfalls, which give a peculiar interest to the scene. 

 The Conway finally falls into the Irish Channel, under 

 the walls of Conway Castle. Its course, in a straight 

 line, is about thirty miles. 



The Glass-Llyn is considered one of the most romantic 

 rivers in Wales ; its scenery would of itself amply repay 

 a long journey. There is a fall not any great distance 

 from its source, of nearly three hundred feet, and below 

 this there are many most delightful streams for the fly. 

 The trout are both numerous and of good quality. 

 Anglers have been known to kill in these waters trout 

 of four and five pounds weight. The river flows through 

 Llyn Gwynan and Llyn-y-Dinas, and has a run of about 

 eighteen miles. 



The Ghorfai springs out of the mountainous lands on 

 the west side of the Great Snowdon. The Seiante rises 

 nearly out of the same locality, and after passing
