 THE SOUTHERN EXD OE THE BOSPHORUS, SHOWING THE ENTRANCE TO THE SEA OE 

 MARMORA ON THE LEFT, JUST BELOW THE -f (SEE ALSO PAGE 445) 



"The Marmora and the Black se^s are no more than 20 miles apart at their nearest 

 pomt, but it is astonishing what a difference in aspect 20 miles may make. The Marmora 

 has much of the softness of air, vividness of color, and beauty of scenery that we associate 

 with the ^gean and Ionian seas. Thread the narrow slit of the Bosphorns, however, and you 

 pass into an entirely different world — sterner, barer, rockier, colder" (see text, page 435).
