–Allen 305. This work forms Vol. 2 of the Voyage en Sibérie of l'Abbé Jean Chappe d'Auteroche (Paris, Debure, 1768). It is translated direct (and unabridged?) from the Russian original, and is greatly superior to Grieve's abridged translation (Krasheninnikof, 1764). Another French ed. (Amsterdam, Marc Michel Rey, 2 vols., 1770; sea cow, 2: 197-207) said to be a direct transl. from the Russian is merely a reprint of this one, with crude copies of the plates. Hydrodamalis, 446-454.
