De la Baleine, i, pp. 305-311. Du Marsouin, pp. 311-313. 



This work is a critical commentary upon that portion of Anderson's " Nachrichten von 

 Island, Gronland," etc., relating to Iceland. The matter relating to Cetacea is not of high 

 importance. 



This French version, as the translator himself avows, is more or less abridged, and very 

 freely rendered. Yol. i is wrongly paged from p. 264 to the end, through an omission in the 

 pagination of 9 numbers (265-272 inclusive). [291.] 



1764. [KRASHENINNIKOF, S.P.] The | History | of) Kamtschatka, | and the | Kurilski

 [By Stepan Petrovitch Krasheninnikof.] Published at Petersbourg in the 

 Russian Language, by Order of her Imperial Majesty | and translated into 

 English | By James Grieve, M. D. | Glocester: | Printed by Raikes | for | T. 

 Jefferys, Geographer to his Majesty, London. | M. DCC. LXIV. 4. 11. 4, pp. 

 i-vii, 1-280, 5 pll. and two maps. 



Manati or Sea Cow, pp. 132-136. Whales, pp. 137-142. 



Krasheuinnikof'swork is of special importance from its detailed account of the Sea Cow 

 (Rhytina borealis), its habits, abundance, and products. 



Grieve's version is a greatly abridged and condensed translation, but was the first and tho 

 only one prior to 1768, when a French translation direct from the original Russian appeared 

 at Paris (q. v.), far superior to Grieve's. Of Grieve's abridged English version there appeared 

 a German translation in 1766, by J. T. Kohler (Lemgo), a French, by M. E[idous] (Lyon), in 

 1767 (q. v.), and also, it is said, a Dutch (Amsterdam), in 1770. See especially infrd, KHA- 



BHENIXNIKOF, at 1768. [292.]
