London he travelled to St. Petersburg where he arrived in August 1782.

CHERNICHEFF is the name of a Russian who, about the same time as Yefremoff,
or in 1780, travelled from Bokhara to Kashmir. He was told that in the mountains

by which the Shyok seems to be meant.¹

In another letter, from March 5, 1911, General von Stubendorff tells me that
the Privy Counsellor KOBEKO had found, in the public library in Petersburg,
a translation from Grusinian into Russian about DANIBEG'S journey to India.²

To become better acquainted with the country, Danibeg took a very long

(Rangoon) he went on board a ship which, however, was driven to Mushli-Bandar
(Masulipatam?) by a storm and only from here he could start again for Rangoon.
From this place he steered to Colcada (Calcutta), but after an 18 days' journey the
ship was wrecked, and Danibeg was one of the four lucky ones who by the help
