Boundaries Brazil: _RIO_ GRANDE DO SUL, re'oo graNn' de thoo sool', state, Brazil. It is Brazil's most southern state and its area is 109,066 square miles. It is bounded on the south by Uruguay, on the west by Argentina, on the east by the Atlantic Ocean, on the north by the State of Santa Cata-rina. Its great Lagoa dos Patos, stretching half the length of its coastline, is by far the largest lake in Brazil.
RORAIMA, rro-rl'ma, mountain of South America, in the Serra Pacaraima, near the junction of the boundaries Brazil of Brazil, Venezuela, and British Guiana. It is 9 miles long and 3 miles wide, and is flat-topped; the highest point has an elevation of 8,620 feet. The sides of the mountain are steep and rocky; the numerous waterfalls are the source of several rivers of Guiana, of the Amazon system (southwards), and of the Orinoco system (westwards).
WITH GARDENS a sense of enclosure is important. On small lots the boundaries may be those of the property or even plantings or other pleasant features on a neighbor's property, for when I speak of boundaries Brazil I mean not those of the lot but those that limit the view. On larger grounds the boundaries Brazil to views may be well within the property lines.
