— 130 sap, or reed swamp. The valley consists of dry or wet flooded meadows, which, during heavy rains and after the fall, sometimes turn into swamps, accessible only for hunting.

The width of the river ranges from 5 to 50 fathoms, the depth from 1/2 to 5 arshins, and in the pits up to 10 fathoms. Current speed is 1-3 feet. per second. The bottom is predominantly sandy and hard. The banks up to the town of Radomysl are narrower, higher, and steep in places. The Dalbes are mostly low, gently sloping and marshy, but where the banks of the river merge with the shore of the valley they are high and steep. Dam—7; All of them are impassable for the ford. Sometimes the river is divided into sleeves. There are 22 permanent crossings. The roads are completely serviceable and always suitable for the movement of troops, artillery and convoys, namely the bridges in Korostyshev and Radomysl, not counting the railway bridge near the station. Black grouse. There are many Brodys. The construction of new crossings is generally not difficult, thanks to the insignificant size of the river and the abundance of timber materials.

2) The area from the mouth of the river. Move to 0 and fall into the river. Dnipro (30 versts).

To s. Rotichi Komandovane belongs to the left bank, below the right bank. The left bank, for the most part, is sharply outlined and in places descends steeply into the river.

The right bank of the valley imperceptibly merges with the bank of the river.

The left bank is mostly open. The right one is covered with lice. The soil on both banks is sandy.

The width of the valley is from 1 to 4 versts. To reach the mouth. up to 10 versts. The character of the valley is flooded meadows, mostly wet, accessible to infantry and cavalry in dry summers, and only to cavalry in rainy seasons. In Kos there are swampy areas. RID along the valley is made difficult by old-timers. |

The river flows for a long distance in the form of reaches big, then small. |

The width ranges from 30 to 50 fathoms, sometimes up to 100 fathoms; in general, the width increases where it is shallow and decreases where it is deep.

Depth '/?—9 arshins. Current speed 1'/.—3 feet. per second. There are a lot of shallows on RFKB. The bottom is mostly sandy, muddy in the pools. The shores are flat and sandy.

Crossing the river is done by ferries. On the river 5kB, the mill dams only reach the middle of the river. Fords open quite often, especially in dry times.

The black grouse freezes in early December and opens in early March. Spills can be very significant and last up to 3 weeks.

For the movement of troops, the Teterev River is a serious obstacle only during floods and heavy rains. At this time, the river valley becomes almost inaccessible to traffic. In the lower reaches of the river. Teterev divides the valley of the right bank of the Dnipro, making communication along the latter difficult.

R. Kamenka. Left tributary of the river 'Grouse.

The source is in the forest, 8 versts northwest of the village of Vilsk; the general direction of the flow is to the southwest. (Length 21/4 ver.). Above the village of Povshanki the valley is poorly outlined; below the banks rise above the riverbed by 2-4 fathoms. Commanded predominantly by the right bank. Both banks of the valley below Povshanka are steep; in many places they come close to the riverbed and end in cliffs. Near Zhitomir, the height of the banks is 20-30 fathoms. over water. The width of the valley above the village of Shovshanka is 50-200 steps; below the banks of the valley they often merge with the banks of the river and the valley is almost nil. To the hut. \Meerka valley bottom is partly narrower, partly wet meadows, overgrown with bushes. In spring the valley turns into a swamp. Below x. Meerka valley is swampy only at l. Sokolova Gora.

Above s. The Vilsk River flows into the LBSU in a deep narrow lake and represents a series of deep narrow lakes; their width is 3-5 steps, their depth is over fathoms, with extremely top-

Kim bottom. The lakes are connected by narrow, shallow and hard-bottomed channels.

At the exit from the lake, the width of the river ranges from 2 to 8, and at the mouth up to 20 steps, the depth from '/4 to B arsh.. The bottom of the river to the hut. Meerka is predominantly viscous, below rocky.

The banks above the village of Kamenka are low, dry, below are steep from 1 to 5 arsh. height. In the village of Sokolova Gora it is low and swampy. Dam—5.
