DECRIPTIVE INFO: The bugors or chains of hillocks which run between the parallel bays , and farther inland are connected with the level ground of the steppes , are in general very narrow , their length varying from a hundred yards to three or even four miles . They usually rise to the unpretending elevation of 26 to 30 feet ; but some attain double this height . Seen from a balloon , the ensemble of the bugors would resemble a tract of marshy land turned up by a gigantic ploughshare . Immediately to the west of the Volga , the limans , or furrows which separate the bugors , are always changed into rivers . During the inundation of the river , the current pours into these channels the overflow of its waters charged with mud ; then , after the flood is over , the sea again penetrates them , and there is thus produced in these channels a constant backward and forward motion between the sea and the Volga . Farther to the south , the narrow valleys of the limans , not being so often filled up by the flood - waters , do not in general present a continuous sheet of water , but only a chain of lakes , separated from each other by sandy isthmuses .
