like the Kamtfchadale jourts , with this difference, that they 
are covered with raw deer-fkins in winter, and tanned ones 
in fummer. Their Hedges are drawn by deer, and never 
by dogs; which, like the latter, are like wife always fpayed, 
in order to be trained to this bufinefs. The draft deer 
pafture in company with the others; and when they are 
wanted, the herdfmen make ufe of a certain cry, which 
they infiantly obey, by coming out of the herd. 
The prieft of Paratounca informed me, that the two 
nations of the Koriacs, and the Tfchutfki, fpeak different 
dialedts of the fame language; and that it bears not the 
fmalleff refemblance to the Kamtfchadale. 
The country of the Tfchutfki is bounded on the South 
by the Anadir, and extends along the coaft to the Tfchut- 
fkoi Nofs. Like the Wandering Koriacs, their attention is 
principally confined to their deer, of which their country 
affords great numbers, both tame and wild. They are a 
flout, well-made, bold, warlike race of people; redoubtable 
neighbours to both nations of the Koriacs, who often feel 
the effects of their depredatory incurfions. The Ruffians 
have, for many years, been ufing their endeavours to bring 
them under their dominion; and, after lofing a great many 
men in their different expeditions for this purpofe, have 
not been able to effect it. 
I fhall here conclude this article, fince all we can fay of 
this people, on our own knowledge, hath been laid before 
the Reader in the preceding Volume.
