Bug, the name of two Russian rivers. The Western Bug rises in Austrian Galicia, and after a course of about 470 miles, forming for the most way the eastern frontier of Poland, it joins the Vistula, near Warsaw. The Eastern Bug, the Hypanis of the ancients, rises in Podolia, and flows 520 miles south-east into the estuary of the Dnieper.
