The Late Mr. Seebohm's Travels in Arctic Europe and Asia

Abstract

THE two well-known volumes, respectively entitled “Siberia in Europe” and “Siberja in Asia,” in which Mr. Seebohm described his bird-nesting expeditions to the Petchora (1875) and Yenesel (1877) valleys, having long been out of print, the author determined to combine (and to some extent condense) the two narratives, and to issue them in single volume form. The greater portion of this task had ben accomplished when it was unhappily brought to an abrupt close by the untimely death of the talented author. Its completion was thus of necessity left to another hand. Although the editor has not thought fit to make his identity known to the public, he may be congratulated on the tact and skill with which he has carried out his share of the work.
