BIENNE, LAKE OF, or BIELERSEE , a lake in Switzerland, S.W. of the
town
  of Bienne, and extending along the southern foot of the
Jura
  range. It is 71 M. in length, 21 M. broad and 249 ft. in
depth
 , while its surface is 1424 ft. above the sea-level, and its area 16 sq. m. In it is the Ile de St Pierre, where
Rousseau
  resided for a short
time
  in 1765. Many traces of lake-dwellings have been discovered on the shores of the lake. It receives the river Suze or Scheuss at its
north
 -
east
  end, while the Hagneck
canal
  leads the waters of the Aar into the lake, as that of Nidau conducts them out again. At the
south
 -western end the river Thiele or Zihl flows into this lake from that of
Neuchatel
 . (W. A. B. C.)
