with the original Chukchee name, Linglingay.
28. Steller: Beschreibung von dem Lande Kamtschatka, p. 15.
Steller sways back and forth between Müller’s views and the
account that he himself obtained of the real state of affairs. He
met Müller in West Siberia in 1739, when the latter was filled
with his supposed epoch-making discoveries in Yakutsk archives.
In Reise nach Amerika, p. 6, Steller says: “So verblieb es nichts
desto weniger auf Seiten der damals gebrauchten Officiere bey einer
kurzen Untersuchung des Landes Kamtschatka, von Lopatka bis zu
dem sogenannten Serze Kamen, welche bey weitem das
Tschuktschiske Vorgebirge noch nicht ist.” He has so little knowledge of
Bering’s work that he can immediately go on to say: “Gwosdew ist
viel weiter und bis 66 Grad Norderbreite gekommen.”
29. How varying the views on this subject have been even in
the narrowest academical circles may be seen from the following:
In a German edition of Atlas Russicus, 1745, Serdze Kamen
appears as a mountain in the center of the Chukchee peninsula.
(By Calque, placed at my disposal by A. Thornam, of St.
Petersburg. In the French edition the name is not found at all.) On the
maps which accompany J. E. Fischer’s Sibirische Geschichte, 1768,
and Gmelin’s work, Serze Kamen and Kammenoie Serdze are found,
but in different places of Bering Strait, both different from Müller’s.
30. Cook and King: Voyage, etc., I., 469: “Thus far Bering
proceeded in 1728, that is, to this head, which Müller says is called
Serdze Kamen on account of a rock upon it shaped like a heart.
But I conceive that Mr. Müller’s knowledge of these parts is very
imperfect. There are many elevated rocks upon this cape, and
possibly some one or other of them may have the shape of a heart.
“At four in the morning the cape, which, on the authority of
Müller, we have called Serdze Kamen, bore S. S. West.” III., 261.
