foft or mouldering ftate, except in a few places. There 
are parts of the fhore interrupted by fmall valleys and gul- 
leys ; in each of thefe a river or torrent rufties down with 
confiderable impetnofity; though it may be fuppofed that 
they are only furnifhed from the fnow, and laft no longer 
than till it is all melted. Thefe valleys are filled with 
pine-trees, which grow down clofe to the entrance, but 
only to about one half way up the higher or middle part 
of the ifland. The woody part alfo begins every where 
immediately above the cliffs, and is continued to the fame 
height with the former; fo that the ifland is covered as it 
■were with a broad girdle of wood, fpread upon its fide, 
inclofed between the top of the cliffy fhore and the higher 
parts in the centre. The trees, however, are far from be¬ 
ing of an uncommon growth ; few appearing to be larger 
than a man might gra'fp round with his arms, and about 
forty or fifty feet high ; fo that the only purpofe they 
could anfwer for (hipping, would be to make top-gallant 
malls and other fmall things. Amongft the trees were 
found fome currant and hawberry bullies; a fmall yellow- 
flowered violet; and the fweet herb which Steller, who at¬ 
tended Beering, imagined the Americans here drefs for 
food, in the fame manner as the natives of Kamtfchatka.
