Fig. 20— Reduced facsimile of fol. 77 of MS copy of Steller's journal. 



The section on the sea otter beginning at line 26 of this folio does not 

 appear in the corresponding place in the published version (see Fig. 18) 

 as Pallas had already published it in A^ewg Nordische Beytrdge Vol. 2. 

 1 781. pp. 279-286, as part of the Description of Bering Island, to which 

 he had transferred it. The translation of this section is given below in 

 Appendix A under "Sea Otter, pp. 214-222."
