from the peninsula of Apscheron, a submarine elevation canbe 
traced extending southeasterly. The island of Tschelekan is on 
this line, and its prolongation forms the axis which connects 
with the mountains of Central Asia. 
On the peninsula of Taman, formed by the northwest 
tremity of the main chain of the Caucasus, is seen the in 
section of two lines of upheaval; one, the principal line, line, run- 
ning from southeast to northwest, and the other, that of the 
mountains of the Crimea, froin southwest to northeast, 
intersection of these two lines mainly determines the is 
tion of the Isthmus. The northeast and southwest upheaval 
has not only united the principal chain with the Little Cae 
sus but has formed a juncture between re mountains of th 
Isthmus and those of Persia and Asia Min E 
The points of intersection of the main ron are of consider 
able altitude, as, for example, Sikara, where the principal range 
crosses the mountains of Karthlo-Imeritia, and ft, at 
junction of the Persian mountains and those of i 
Caucasus.
