At the Upper Dniester are many small rivulets, 
or torrents, the Roshlcova, Roiikova, Svcintziha, 
Sprutza, &c.all having their springs in Pndolia, 
but of no use for navigation. The Dniester 
divides into two branches: one retains the 
original name, the other takes that of Strie 1 
* # * 
and at last falls into the Black Sea. The first 
branch is navigable as far as the town of 
Sambor, and the other to Strie. At Sambor, 
the Pelofka, a small stream, falls into the 
Dniester, by means whereof the Austrians 
intend to join this river with the Fistula. 
No other river of consequence is to be found 
on the northern coast of the Black Sea, parti- 
cularly in the Crimea, where no one stream 
can connect it with the interior of Russia. 
The only great tracts of water communication 
are the Dnieper and the Don : the first has 
Odessa, the last Taganrog, for its principal 
port. The establishment of trade in the ports 
of the Crimea will therefore prove a mere 
chimera; as all goods must be carried thither 
at vast expense, through waterless steppes. 
Streams in the Crimea. 
The Katzanka, Babsiianka, Kashtza Alma 
Belbeka, Inkermena; mere torrents from 
the mountains.
