dutton.j DIVISIONS OF THE GRAND CANON. 73 



Grand CaSon, Kanab Creek joins the Colorado on the north side in 

 the heart ot the great ehasm. These three streams, the Virgen on the 

 west, Kanab Creek in the middle, and the Paria on the east, all have 

 their sources in the terraces of the High Plateaus. They are very impor- 

 tant factors in the problem of reconstructing the history of the region. 

 On the south side of the river are (1) the Colorado Chiquito or Little 

 Colorado, entering at the foot of Marble Canon, (2) Cataract Creek, en- 

 tering near the middle of the Kanab division, (3) Diamond Creek, join- 

 ing at the elbow of the great bend in the Sheavwits division. These, 

 too, have their bearing upon the general problem.
