46 THE FOREST LANDS OF NORTHERN RUSSIA. 
White Sea. Lake Sego is 30 miles: in length from N.W. 
to S.E., and 24 in breadth. To the north-east of this is 
Lake Vigo, fed by the Vig, which enters it on the south- 
east, and flows from it on the N.N.W. The Kovja takes 
its rise in Lake Kovjskoe, in the southern part of this 
- Government; flowing south, it enters the Government 
of Novogorod, and falls into Lake Bielo, on its N.W. side, 
after a course of 60 miles. 
In the number of its lakes, and the relative proportions 
of land and water, Olonetz resembles Finland ; but the area 
of the land greatly preponderates over that of the lakes, and 
in waterfalls and rapids the similarity of the two countries 
is maintained, though the similarity is not very great.
