Tut uestnin so long agitated, respecting the
temperature of the Sources of the Srymanderi or
Kierk Gbish is at length decided: By Letters
from Constantinople, we learn that two English
Travellers, Messrs. Cpetitiii and Cit His, of Jesus
College, Cambridge, visited those Sources on tht
4th of March. The Peasants residing on the spot
related the same story that prevailed in the time of
HOMER ; namely, that one of the Springsi during
winter, was very hot, and the other cold. As
the only winter the Turki: had this year, took
place precisely at the time of this visit, it was 4
fair opportunity to estimate the temperature of the
Springs. For this purpose they used the Thermo-
meter of Celcius, add the result proved that they are
both Hot Springs. •
The first observation was made on the evening
of the 4th of March, at sunset. The heat of the
atmosphere was then 8+ degrees above freezing, ac.
cording to the scale niche Thermometer before-men-
tioned. Placed in the Hot Spring, the mercury rose
in two minutes to 164. It was then taken to what
they call the Cold Spring; which issues from many
mouths out of a rock of pudding stone ; and thence
takes the name
.of /Geri Gbies, or :Forty Ejet.—
Here the same cad took place, the mercury rising
to 16! ; the surface of the rocks whence the water
issued, and the water itself, being sensibly warm to..
the hand. Afterwards observatios were made in
all the other mouths of the same Spring, and With
the same result. • 'The same observations were re-
newed at midnight, at sunrise, and at midday ;.
whence it appeared that the. Sources of this river are
in no degree affected by any change in the tempera-
ture of the atmosphere. The mercury always rose
in the water.to 16.1, and if the tube was thrust far
into the apertures froM whence the water issued,
before it became exposed to the atmosphere, the.
mercury rose as high as 17 degrees, a difference of
of a degree taking place in the water before and af-
ter its exit.

Those .Travellert afterwards accompanied the
Vtaoit to its source.• It issues all at once from a
perpendicular rock' on the western side of Mould
Ida, at the base of Gatgarns. The temperature of
the water at its source, is only six degrees of Celcius
above freezing. Close to the source of the Siinsit,
is a"watin spring which falls into the river, and in
which the heat is exaelly the same as in the sources
of the. ticanraptder, the mercury rising to 161.—
They altetWards ascended to the top of Garga,mt,
now called A.-asdagki. Its summit is so difficult of
access, that the inhabitants have never visited it.
It is covered with pet ennial snow, and in some place
a glacier. From this point) the descent of the
mountain to the promontory of Cape Baba, or Leartm,
is as regulates the gradation of a stair,case, perfett-
ly answering to the char:tact given of it by Homy a.
The .41,1'?:ervItemic Gallo, now called tits: Pulpit of
/droinytt, or Itydrtnetytt, is falSely laid down in all
the Maps. • It skirtS she base of Gargarus, passing
quite round to the North-Eastern 'extremity of that
mountain. The dilliculey therefore Tespetiing the_
march of Xuttxss to Alydos, yawn it is said be left
Gargarus on his left hand, is done away, as the po.
sition ,of the Mountain would exAly correspond
with the detoription of this march. A • Caravan
passing from the extremity of the Adravltemic
Caltb to the Dardattrile,r, leaves Kositagbi or Mount
Gargarus, of necessity on its left hand.
