APPENDIX, N° II. 
Twelve versts from the estuary of the Souma 
are the Salines of Yalovitzhj : near these is a 
small, but a safe cove. The Admiralty caused 
a quay to be constructed ; where vessels may 
ride in thirteen feet water, at the lowest ebb. 
This spot is more eligible than the Souma, for a 
depot of stores for Archangel. 
The tides on the coast of the White Sea are 
from five to seven feet. 
Small Rivers falling into the White Sea. 
The Kalesiiinka, Koughta, Ouneshma, 
Sosnofka, Shounka, and the Nimenka, 
are not navigated ; their estuaries have con- 
siderable fisheries, serving as marine stations 
for the port; the adjacent country being 
impassable, in summer, for a considerable 
distance from the coast, morasses and rocky 
precipices intersecting it in every direction. 
The River Onega forms a separate division o 
inland navigation : its source is from the Lake 
VI) d. In the great map of Russia this lake is 
called the Vol, and in its course to the Lake 
Latzi it is called Sved, and on crossing this 
lake receives the appellation of Onega. It is 
navigable to a small place, twenty versts below 
Kargopol ; when, at this spot, torrents and 
cataracts, near Marcomousa, can only be passed 
in spring, during the high water then prevailing.
