PLATE 10. 
Canoe Brook crossed by Putney road, seven miles from Brattleboro, Vt. 
Illustration of early stage of partition process in which the brook is increasing 
its meander. The current, deflected to the right, is adjusting itself to a new 
series of curves. Rapid withdrawal from the left bank has resulted in the 
sand-bar island. The river is parted thereby, and in time the right channel 
will acquire the whole stream.
