charts of different navigators. The iflands near the 

 coall of the Tfchutlki are copied from Synd's chart. 

 The Fox Iflands are laid down from the chart of Otche- 

 redin. The reader wiU perceive, that the pofition of 

 the Fox Iflands, upon this general map of Ruliia, is 

 materially different from that affigned to them in the 

 chart of Krenitzin's and Levaflieff's voyage. In the 

 former they are reprefented as ffretching between 

 56" 61' North latitude, and 210" and 230'' longitude 

 from the ifle of Fero : in the latter they are fituated 

 between 51° 40' and 55^ 20' latitude, and [99° 30' and 

 207° 30' longitude. According to the moft recent ac- 

 counts received from Peterfbiirg, the pofition given to 

 them upon this general map is confiderably too much 

 to the North and Eaft ; confequently that alligned to 

 tliem upon Krenitzin's chart is probably the mofl to be 

 depended upon.

* The twelfth chapter of this Effay relates to the difcoveries and 

 commerce of the RufEans in the Eaftern Ocean. The account of the 

 Ruffian difcoveries is a tranllation of Mr. Stsehlin's Defcription of the 

 New Northern Archipelago. In addition, he has fubjoined an account 

 of Kamtchatka, and a fhort fketch of the Ruffian commerce to the New 

 Difcovered Iflands, and to America. If we may believe the author of 

 this Effay, the Ruffians have not only difcovered America, but they alfo 

 every year form occafional fettlements upon that continent, fimilar to 

 thofe of the Europeans in Newfoundland. His words are : " II efl done 



certain.
