anchorages along the eastern shore of Dundas Island. The transit of cargo is then effected to Wladiwostock over the ice.

The port, the chief naval station of Russia on the Pacific, is commanded by an Admiral appointed from home, and there is also a military Governor, who resides at Habaroffka. The municipal affairs of the town are managed by a Mayor and Town Council elected by and from among the Russian civil community. The town is built on the southern slope of the hills running along the northern shore of the harbour. The entire area, with the exception of many unoccupied lots intervening here and there, is covered by buildings; and the town is well laid out with good roads. Most conspicuous among the buildings are the Government Offices, the Barracks, and the Governor's residence, which is surrounded by a Public Garden, while the houses of the more affluent merchants are well and substantially built. In the Public Garden the town band plays twice a week during the summer. There is a Naval Club, to which civilians are admitted as non-voting members; two or three hotels; a Gymnasium, or School for boys; an Institute for girls; and military and naval hospitals. The town contains upwards of 12,000 souls, most of whom are of European extraction. The Garrison numbers in all about 5,000 men, and is partly accommodated on Dundas Island. The value of the im- port trade of Wladiwostock in 1887 was 5,736,467 roubles; the exports have been very trifling hitherto, but the prohibition of the export of timber having been re- moved, they are now likely to show an increased value.
