Abstract
IN this large quarto volume, which the indefatigable traveller brought out before leaving St. Petersburg for his proposed fifth journey to Central Asia, we have a general account of the journey he began at Kiakhta on November 20, 1883, and. ended two years later at Lake Issyk-kul, in Russian Turkestan, after having visited the upper parts of both the Yellow and the Blue Rivers. As to the purely scientific description of the invaluable collections which were brought in by the Expedition, it has been undertaken by specialists and will be published separately.
From Kiakhta to the Sources of the Yellow River, the Exploration of the Northern Borders of Tibet, and the Journey viâ the Lob-nor and the Basin of the Tarim.
By N. M. Prjevalsky. (In Russian.) With 3 Maps, 29 Phototypes, and 3 Woodcuts. (St. Petersburg: Published by the Russian Geographical Society, 1888.)
