Armenia And The Pontus

Excerpt from Armenia and the Pontus Bosphorus. The true Greek definition, however, does not go inland at all; it only takes the coast. Pontus, being actually part and continuation of the Armenian table - land, it has all the climatic and geological characteristics of that land. The land is very hilly, so much so that only a few roads cross it, and the most prosperous towns are on the seacoast. The mountains lift up their heads in very sharp inclines, and at a short distance from the' sea, a first altitude of feet is reached, as a stepping stone to the higher territory inland. Eastern Pontus has little agri culture, although the western part has broad fields; fruit is probably the chief agricultural specialty.
