BOHEMIA, MORAVIA, AND AUSTRIAN SILESIA. 143 



Teschen (9,779 inhabitants) is the principal town in the eastern or Polish part 

 of Austrian Silesia, but its trade has suffered somewhat since Oderherg, on the 

 Prussian frontier, has become the nucleus of an extensive network of railways. 

 Near Oderberg are the coal basins of Pohmch Osfrau and Karicin, which yield 

 nearly a million tons of coal a year. 



Bielitz (10,721 inhabitants), on the eastern frontier, and separated only by the 

 Biala from the Galician town of Biala, has important cloth factories.
