The watery land of the great delta was home to many animals, including reed wolves.

A companion of Columbus first discovered this great delta.

It is a wide, salt-water inlet, a bay, a great delta, like that of the Amazon.

Now the way from Macra to Sarzana lies straight across that great delta which hides behind the eastern horn of the Gulf of Spezia.

As a rule great deltas are slowly sinking.

Thus was formed a miniature Delta, whose structure pretty accurately corresponded with that of the great Delta of to-day.
