CITY OF DNEPROPETROVS
1. The city of Dnepropetrovsk (N 48-28, E.35-50), divided by the
Dnepr River, was situated on a steppe with.scarce vegetation;
the surrounding country was completely flat except for slight
gradations in the terrain sloping near the. banks of said river.
A small tributary (name unspecified), ran through the west side
of the town and carried off city and factory sewerage; this had
a narrow channel and a low river bed. - ~- - ? 4 4
2. The seasons were divided as follows;
a. Winter. Winter began on or about 15 November and lasted to
the end of February;: the average temperature during this
