It was thought practicable here, by means of 
a Canal of five or six versts, to unite the 
Dniester with the Bog, between the Kodima 
and the Yaourlina. But a hill, and the 
necessity of a great number of sluices on the 
Yaourlina, which, notwithstanding, abounds 
in water, made the enterprise very difficult. 
Were the country more peopled, and afforded 
more products, this plan might have been 
executed : at present it is impossible. The 
Upper Bog has many other branches, which 
have more water, in general, than the streams 
of the steppe ; their sources being in the hills 
of Podo/ia and Volhynia, which form a part of 
the chain of the mountains of Karabat. Till 
the Bog be made navigable, it is needless to 
think of improving these rivers, although 
they water the most fruitful provinces of 
the whole empire. 
From the Dnieper to the Dniester, the boun-
