Constriction, Bifurcation and Confluence of a Water Course
Where a stream divides or rejoins, the water rises before flowing on
Three short notes on how a water course behaves at a constriction (a throttling of the channel), at a bifurcation, and at a confluence. Where the water divides it rises, and then, falling back, reinforces its course; where waters rejoin they rise, and the nearby motion that follows becomes slow. The page is largely blank, with a faint feathery sketch of streaming lines at the top; the heading on constriction carries no transcribed text, so further untranscribed material may relate to it.

Bifurcation of a water course
Where a stream divides, the water rises at the point of division, and then, as it falls back, it reinforces its own course.
Confluence of water courses
Where two waters join together, they rise at the meeting point, and the nearby motion that follows the junction becomes slow.
Faint flow sketch and an untranscribed constriction note
A light, feathery sketch of streaming lines sits near the top of the otherwise blank page. The heading on the constriction (throttling) of a water course carries no accompanying transcribed text, so any writing beside it remains untranscribed here.
