TRIANGLE

TRIANGLE. TREBISOND, a large, populous, and strong town of Turkey in Asia, in the province of Jenich, with a Greek archbishop's see, a harbour, and a castle. It is seated at the foot of a very steep hill. The walls are square and high, with battlements; and are built with the ruins of ancient structures, on which are inscriptions not legible. The town is not populous; for there are more woods and gardens in it than houses, and these but one story high. The castle is seated on a flat rock, with ditches cut therein. The harbour is at the east end of the town, and the mole built by the Genoese is almost destroyed. It stands on the Black Sea, 104 miles north-west of Erzerum, and 440 east of Constantinople. E. Lon. $40^\{\backslash circ\}\; 25\text{'}$. N. lat. $40^\{\backslash circ\}\; 45\text{'}$.
