In 1 7G4 Syncl put to fea from the port of Ochotfk, but 

 did not j)afs (vre know not by what accident) the 

 fouthern Cape of Kamtchatka and Shulhu, the firft Kuril 

 Hie, before 1766. He then fteered his courfe North at 

 no great diftance from the coaft of the Peninfula, but 

 made very Uttle progrefs that year, for he wintered South. 

 of the river Uka.. 



The following year he failed from Ukinfki Point due 

 Eaft and North Eaft, until he fell in with a clufter of 

 iflands ■■' flretching between 6 1 and 6 2 degrees of latitude, 

 and 195° and 2.02° longitude. Thefe iflands lie South 

 Eaft and Eaft of the coaft of the Tfchutfki ; and feveral 

 of them are fituated very near the fliore. Befides thefe 

 fmall iflands, he difcovered alfo a mountainous coaft 

 lying within, one degree of the coaft of the Tfchutski, 

 between 64 and 66 North latitude ; its moft Weftern 

 extremity was fituated in longitude 38° 15' from 

 Ochotsk, or 199° 1' from. Fero. This iftand is laid 

 down in his chart as part of the continent of Ame- 

 rica; but we cannot determine upon what proofs he 

 grounds this reprefentution, until a more circumftantial 

 account of his voyage is commimicatcd to the public. 



* Thefe are certainly fome of the iflands which the Tfchut/ki rcfort 

 td In their way to what they call the continent of i^merlca.
