See Flying Phalanger. TA'GTJS (Sp. Tajo. Port. Tejo) . The largest river of the Iberian Peninsula. It rises in the Sierra de Albarracin on the western boundary of the Spanish Province of Teruel, 88 miles east of Madrid, and flows in a general west-southwest di- rection through Spain and Portugal, emptying into the Atlantic Ocean shorth' after passing the city of Lisbon (Map: Spain, D 2). Its length is 565 miles. In its upper course it traverses the arid plains of New Castile, but at Toledo it plunges through a wild gorge between high granite cliffs. Farther west it again flows through sandy, level country, bordered by oak forests. About 40 miles above Lisbon it divides into two branches, which inclose a low, marshy island, and which reunite in the Bay of Lisbon, an expansion of the river about 18 miles long and 5 miles wide. This bay is deep and slieltered, and forms one of the best harbors in the world. At Lisbon the river again contracts, and enters the ocean through a nar- row and deep channel, which, but for the bar at the mouth, would be accessible for the largest ships. The river is regularly navigated 105 miles to Abrantes, but in Spanish territory navi- gation is impeded by rapids.
