114 { March 2; 
The Turkith miles are e evidently five to 
the nautical league, as I hall prefently 
fhew. In the parallel column I have re- 
duced them to nautical miles, of three to 
the league.

Tt is at to fee, that the miles which 
che celebrated Tournefort mentions in his 
work, cannot be the nautical mile, the 
third of a league; for this author fays, 
that the difiance between Eregri, or He- 
raclea of Pontus, and: Sinope, 
miles, which would make 103 leagues and 
athird. This diftance correfponds with 
none of the charts, not even with my own, 
in which the points of Eregri and Sinope, 
laid down from aftronomical obfervation, 
are ftill more diftant, Our failors afferted, 
that the diftance between the above two 
points is 291 miles of the country (always 
meaning by fea). Thefe 291 miles, when 
iS 310_ 
mentioned above, 
reduced to nautical miles, of three to the 
league, give 1742, or about 58 leagues 
2 miles, and this diftance 1s very nearly 
the fame as appears upon my chart. 
* Note of the Author.—This Fatfah, or 
Vatifah, 2s it is put down in the charts, 
muft be carefully diftinguifhed from Fatz, 
Vatifah is in the gulph 
of Unieh, but Fatz is fituated at the mouth 
of the river Phafis. In all thefe names the 
Turkifh pronunciation has been preferved; 
for geographers are aware, that a word which. 
has pailed through two or three European 
languages fuccedlively, is no longer diftin- 
guifhaple.
