Goods are sometimes carried from the Dniester 
to Odessa by land, sometimes by water. On 
the upper part of the Dniester are four 
principal wharfs or staples; viz. in the Austrian 
dominions, Stria and Salezic ; in Podolia, 
Svanetz and Doubozar, through which is the 
great road from Russia to Moldavia and Con- 
stantinople, and where quarantine is also per- 
formed. The leman of the Dniester abounds 
in fish, particularly in sterlet and sturgeon. 
Rivers falling into the Dniester. 
The Knzurgan, a torrent, dry in summer, falls 
into a fresh-water lake of the same name, and 
joining the Dniester. 
Botna has its source in Bessarabia, small and 
marshy, and can only be of use when culti- 
vation is more practised in its vicinity. 
Komorofka, a torrent of the steppe. 
Bi-uka and Refla, from Moldavia, of no use 
whatever, but moistening the country in their 
course. 
Yasiilic, Chemaya, and Tamashik, torrents 
dry in summer. 
Yarlica, has plenty of water, flows quick over 
a stony bottom, and approaches so near the 
Bog ( Kodima ), that it was once intended to 
unite the last with the Dtiiester ; but a hill, ex- 
tending two versts, rendered the plan abortive.
