A volcanic illand has been lately difcovered not far from 
Oonalafhka. This phenomenon appeared in the midfl of 
a florm, attended with flames and fmoke. After the fea 
was calmed, a boat was fent from Oonalafhka, with twenty 
Ruffian hunters, who landed on this ifland, June the 1 It, 
1814. They found it full of crevices and precipices. 
The Surface was cooled to the depth of a few yards, but 
below that depth it was (fill hot. No water was found on 
any part of it. The vapours rifing from it were not in¬ 
jurious ; and the Sea-lions had begun to take up their re¬ 
sidence on it. Another vilit was paid to it in 1815; its 
height was then diminished. It is about two miles in 
length ; they have given it the name of Bogujlaw.

OORT (Adam Van), a painter of the Flemish fchool, 
w ho enjoyed confiderable reputation, but is made moll 
remarkable by having had the honour of initiating the 
uncommon genius of Rubens in the art he praftii'ed. He 
was born at Antwerp in 1 557, and was the Son of Lambert 
Van Oort, a painter of peripeciive and architedlure. Adam 
foon left his father’s humble walk, and attempted hiftory 
and portrait-painting with fuccefs; but he neglecled the 
fimplicity of nature; and, having genius Sufficient to in¬ 
vent a fyflem of his own, too clofely followed it, to the 
lofs of j uft feeling and propriety. It was not only in his 
painting that he was a mannerist, but alfo in his difpofi- 
tion ; by the rough and unamiable humour of which, he 
loft his f riends, and lived unhappily. Jordaens, who mar¬ 
ried his daughter, and who probably by his aftedlion for her 
was induced to tolerate the rudenefs of Van Oort’s man¬ 
ners, was the only one of his numerous pupils who did
