a town of the Russian empire, in Siberia, seated on the river Jenifa. It is large, populous, and pretty strong; and there are villages for several miles round it. It is subject to the Tungusians, who are Pagans, and live chiefly on the above river. They pay a tribute to the emperor for every bow, reckoning a man and a woman for one. The climate is extremely cold; and no other fruits grow there but black and red currants, strawberries, and gooseberries. Corn, butchers meat, and wild fowls, are very cheap. E. Long. 92. 35. N.
