THE ASIATIC FUR-SEAL ISLANDS. 



(4) The bottom of Bering Sea to the east of the Commander Islands forms a 

 nearly level floor of an almost uniform depth of 2,100 fathoms, sending off an arm or 

 bay of equal depth to the north of the islands toward the neck of the Kamchatkan 

 peninsula. The walls of this basin are excessively steep at the islands, but are believed 

 to slope off gradually toward the curve of the coast between Capes Oserni and 

 Oliutorski. » 



To complete the account, I append the records of the soundings taken by the 

 Albatross and the Yitiaz in the waters covered by the map (pi. 87). 



Records of recent soundings in the •western portion of Bering Sea.
