APURE, a river of western Venezuela, formed by the confluence of the
Sarare and Uribante at 6 deg. 45' N. lat. and 71 deg. W. long., and
flowing eastward across the Venezuelan _llanos_ to a junction with the
Orinoco at about 7 deg. 40' N. lat. and 66 deg. 45' W. long. Its
drainage area includes the slopes of both the Colombian and Venezuelan
Andes. It has a sluggish course across the _llanos_ for about 300 m.,
and is navigable throughout its length. Its principal tributaries are
the Caparro, Portuguesa and Guarico on the north, and the Caucagua on
the south. Its lateral channels on the south mingle with those of the
Arauca for many miles, forming an extensive district subject to annual
inundations.

of Arequipa, and less than 100 m. from the Pacific coast. It flows first
north-easterly, then north-westerly past Cuzco to the mouth of the
Perene tributary, thence east and north to its junction with the Ucayali

Apurimac only down to the mouth of the Mantaro tributary, 11 deg. 45' S.
lat. and 1325 ft. above sea-level. Thence to the mouth of the Perene
