Abstract
GEOGRAPHY AND ANTHROPOLOGY.—At the last meeting, April 23, of the Imperial Russian Geographical Society, M. Sreznefsky, the Secretary, communicated his monthly report on the work of the Society. This consisted in equipping three expeditions in which the Society intends to take part, and its participation in the Anthropological Exhibition of Moscow. The first expedition is the cruise of the steamer Nordenskjöld, equipped by the well-known merchant of Siberia M. Sibiriakoff, for the relief of Prof. Nordenskjöld in the Vega. It will proceed from Malmö direct to Yokohama, Behring Strait, and beyond. According to the request of M. Sibiriakoff the Society appointed to accompany the expedition M. A. W. Grigorieff, an accomplished botanist, known for his dredging work in the White Sea, where he collected very interesting specimens of marine fauna with deep soundings and temperature observations, by means of a Negretti and Zambra deep-sea thermometer. He proceeds to Malmö to join the expedition, with a Dent chronometer from the Society, and a complete provision for zoological collections, and a sufficient provision of alcohol.
