Flume (13,314 inbabitants), tbe principal seaport of Hungary, lies at tbe 

 bottom of tbe tranquil Gulf of Quarnero, near tbe site of tbe Eoman city of 

 Tarsatica, destroyed by Cbarlemagne in 799. It is favourably situated for 

 commerce, and is daily growing in importance. A breakwater is being built to 

 protect its fine roadstead. Tbe river supplies several flour-mills and otber indus- 

 trial establisbments with motive power. Near it is tbe old mountain fastness of 

 Tersatoj on tbe site of tbe ancient Eoman city. 



Tbe otber ports on tbe Quarnero, such as Buccari (Bacar), Porto He 

 (Kraljevica), and Zengg (Segna, 3,231 inbabitants), carry on some coasting trade.

but tbey all yield in importance to Lussin Piccolo (7,750 inbabitants), with its 

 magnificent harbour. 



Not one-tenth of the commerce of Austria is carried on through tbe sixty-two 

 commercial ports of Dalmatia, for the mariners of tbese places are not emi^loyed in 

 the export of the produce of their own country. Most of the towns of Dalmatia 

 stand upon tbe coast, and bear a sort of family likeness. Tbey are all defended 

 by walls, have narrow tortuous streets climbing steep bills, a small port with 

 a narrow entrance, and a public square with a town-hull close to the water-side. 

 They are still quite mediœval in their aspect.
