Which is the Jäme with what the Tartars do also affure us, who have tasted :these very Waters in themidst of the Sinus. The. Samojeds as well as the Tar-tars do unanimoufly affirm, that passing on the back of Ncva. \emb/a, at aconsiderable Distancefrom the stiore, Navigators may well pafs as. far as Ja-pan. And ’tis a great Fault in the English and Dutch, that seeking to gec toJapan on. thc r South side of Nova %embla, they have almost always pass’d theWeigats. ■<

The Letter O in the great River Oby marks ; the Place of a Cataract orFall of Waters. The Letter K denotes the Conjunction of %embla with theContinent. The River marked L, runs from China, called Kjtaie : which isnot every where Navigable, by Reasoa of the Ryclgs, and other Inconveni-encies, that Obstruct the pailing^of Veflels.
