Ural, a river of Russia, rises on the east side of the Urals in the government of Orenburg, and runs mainly southwards for 1400 miles into the Caspian Sea, being practically the boundary between Europe and Asia. It gives name to a province, URALSK, which lies mainly east of the river and north of the Caspian, belonging to the Steppe-region (see RUSSIA, Vol. IX. p. 35) and to the 'Kirghiz provinces' included in Asiatic Russia.
