ALAMOSA STATION, ON THE RIO GRANDE. 
This station is located at bridge 249A of the Denver and Eio Grande 
Eailroad, about one-half mile east of Alamosa, Colo. The observer is 
Mr. E. L. McKinnon, foreman of section 11. The gage is a 2 by 6 inch 
plank, painted white, and graduated in black to tenths from a foot to 
11.3 feet. It is spiked to the west side of the third pier from the east 
end on the north side of the bridge. The point 11.25 of the scale is 
level with the top of the pier. 
EMBUDO STATION, ON THE RIO GRANDE. 
Embudo is a railroad station on the Denver and Rio Grande Eailroad, 
in Eio Arriba County. The station is in a narrow canyon above the 
head of the valley in which Espanola and other towns are located, and 
in which the river Ghama joins the Eio Grande. In November, 1888, an 
examination was made along the main stream for the purpose of select- 
ing a point at which the total discharge of the Eio Grande entering New 
Mexico could be ascertained. Coming from Colorado southward, this 
is the first point at which the railroad reaches the river, and for this 
reason it was finally determined to establish a river station here. 
Measurements were begun at the rocky narrows, about a mile above 
the railroad station, but in the spring of 1889 the observations wer& 
transferred to a point directly behind the railroad station, for conven- 
ience of the observer and consequent reduction of expense.
