computed by the fliip's journal, was ay^os'Eaft-'-. Una- 

 lafhka is about fifty miles long from N. E. to S. W. 

 and has on the N. E. fide three bays. One of them 

 called Udagha ftretches thirty miles E. N. E. and 

 W. S. W. nearly through the middle of the 

 ifland. Another called Igunck, lying N.N.E. and 

 S. S. W. is a pretty good harbour, with three and a half 

 fathom water at high tide, and fandy ground. It is well 

 fheltered from the North fwell at its entrance by rocks, 

 fome of which are under water. The tide flows here 

 five feet at full and change, and the fhore is in general 

 bold and rocky, except in the bay, at the mouth of a 

 fmall river. There are two burning mountains on this 

 ifland, one called Ayaghifli, and the other (by the Ruf- 

 fians) the Roaring Mountain. Near the former is a 

 very copious hot fpring. The land is in general rocky, 

 with loamy and clayey grounds ; but the grafs is ex- 

 tremely coarfe, and unfit for pafture. Hardly any wood 

 is to be found on it. Its plants are dwarf cherry (tXy- un°'L"E"'°^ 

 lofteum of Toiurnefort), wortle berry, (Vaccinium Uli- 

 ginofum of Linnaeus), rafberry, far ana and fliiklliu of 

 Kamtchatka and kutage, larch, white poplar, pine and 



* According to the general map of Ruffia, the mouth of the Kamt- 

 chatka river is in 178° 25' from Fero. Unalalhka therefore, according 

 to this eftimation, is 205° 30' from Fero^ or 187° ^^ 15" from Green- 

 wich.

 but a fpecies of honeyfuckle.
