from which the "waters fall

into Acheron with terrible tumult," the lecturer observed
that the geography of the country was materially altered
since it was first mentioned by the early geographers.
About four centuries before the Christian era, there were
flourishing cities and towns, and on one promontory was a
celebrated monument to Satyrus, one of the kings
of the Bosphorus. That was now occupied by a
mud volcano, which was active some sixty years
ago. There was once also a famous temple well known,
where a volcano had since risen in the centre
of the structure, forcing up the foundations, and
thus bringing to light inscriptions which had let them
into many important secrets. Another change he noticed
was that what was once an island, containing a colony of
ancient Greeks, now formed part of the mainland. He now
came to the eastern shore of the Black Sea, which was
also extremely rich in vegetation, and the luxuriance of
which astonished all travellers. The whole of this coun-
try, which is at intervals occupied by the Russians, who
had held 12 forts, all of which, however, had now been
abandoned, with the exception of the one at the town of
Anapa, which latter once belonged to the Turks, and was
only ceded by them to Russia a year ago. About half of
this eastern region of the Caucasus, as far as a place called
Gargri, was inhabited by the chivalrous Circassians, they
other part being occupied by the Abcassians. The Rus-
sians were possessed only of the ground upon which the
forts were built. These forts were looked upon as a kind
of Norfolk Island for the Russian army. All the men who
behaved ill, or whose intellects were a little too quick,
causing them to be involved in political affairs, were sent
there to finish the remainder of their lives. They seldom
returned, for it was generally calculated that a corps of
