three or four feet deep : this however changes 
its course three or four times a year, during 
stormy weather. This leman is not so deep 
as the Beresan, not having above twenty feet 
water in the middle. Its shore is marshy, and 
hardly passable, which, it is supposed, infects 
the air of the neighbourhood. It is very 
rich in fish. Many small streams fall into it, 
but it is dry in summer. The source of 
this lake, or river, Telegul, has a very long 
course, beginning at Kodima, near the Bog ; 
from this it is only separated by a hill. Though 
it is a stream of the steppe, it has a constant 
current, being seldom dry in all parts ; this, it 
is supposed, tends to the salubrity of the air. 
The Bays of Adgibey are smaller than that of 
Telegul, though very like in all other respects: 
three small rivulets fall into them, of the same 
name ; but these are dry in summer. 
The Bays Konyalnitzkie, or rather Lakes, fifty 
or sixty versts in extent, having no commu- 
nication whatever with the sea, are about five 
or six feet higher. They are of considerable 
depth; but the shore being partly marshy, 
the air around them is unhealthy. The river 
of this name is much of the same length as 
the Telegul, but becomes dry in summer. 
The Rivulets Dalnih and Paraboy are common 
torrents, perfectly dry in summer : they fall
