VALLEY OF TCHORGONA. 
chap. Early in the morning of this day, Professor 
i- - v j Pallas rode with Mr. Galena, who came by his 
appointment, to Inkerman', to shew to him some 
marine plants proper in the preparation of 
kelp. The bad air of that place, added to the 
fatigue he had encountered the preceding day, 
threw him into a violent fever : from this, 
however, we had the happiness to see him 
recover, before we left the Crimea. Fevers are 
so general, during summer, throughout the 
Peninsula, that it is hardly possible to avoid

account preserved by Broniovius is interesting and valuable. As an
