Abstract
THE third fasciculus of the Izvestia of the Russian, Geographical Society contains three very interesting, papers, by D. L. Ivanoff, on the Pamir, being the results; of the expedition of MM. Ivanoff, Putyata, and Bendersky, already mentioned in NATURE. The first of these papers deals with the journeys of the members of the expedition; the second contains the author's views on, the orography of the Pamir; and the third gives a description of the flora, fauna, and inhabitants of this “Roof of the World.” Leaving aside the purely geographical part (M. Ivanoff's papers should be translated into English), I shall sum up the most important orographical, results arrived at by the author, as also his observations on the natural history of the Pamir.
