TRAVELS IN CHUKCH LAND. 
79 
the stretch between the Anadyr and Cape Deschnev consists of 
a tribe, Namollo, which differs from the Chukches, and is 
nearly allied to the Eskimo on the American side of 
Behring’s Straits. 
The English Franklin Expedition in the Plover, commanded 
by Captain Mooke, wintered in 1848-49 at Chukotskojnos, and, 
both at the winter station and in the course of extensive 
excursions with dogs along the coast and to the interior of the 
country, came much into contact with the natives. The ob¬ 
servations made during the wintering were published in a work 
of great importance for a knowledge of the tribes in question 
by Lieutenant W. H. Hooper, Teii Months among the Tents of 
the Tusld, London, 185o. 
C. VON Hittmar ^ travelled in 1853 in the north part of 
Kamchatka, and there came in contact with the reindeer 
nomads, especially with the Koryaks. The information he 
gives us about the Chukches (p. 126) he had obtained from the 
Nischni-Kolymsk m^erchant, Trifonov, who had traded with 
them for twenty-eight years, and had repeatedly travelled in the 
interior of the country. 
Interesting contributions to a knowledge of the mode of living 
of the reindeer-Chukches were also collected by Baron G. VON 
Maydell, who, in 1868 and 1869, along with Hr. Carl von 
Neumann and others, made a journey from Yakutsk by Sredni- 
Kolymsk and Anjui to Kolyutschin Bay. Unfortunately, with 
regard to this expedition, I have only had access to some notices 
in the Proeeedings of the Royal GeogTa 2 ohical Society (vol. 21, 
London 1877, p. 213), and Das Ansland (1880, p. 861). The 
proper sketch of the journey is to be found in Isvestija, published 
by the Siberian division of the Bussian Geographical Society, 
parts 1 and 2.
