NOTES.
*
1. List of Russian Naval Officers. St. Petersburg, 1882.—V.
Berch: The First Russian Admirals.—Scheltema: Rusland en de
Nederlanden, III., p. 287.—L. Daae: Normænd og Danske i
Rusland.
As Berch hints that Bering had many enemies in the
Department of the Marine, I have made inquiries on this point. Admiral
Th. Wessalgo informs me that Berch’s account is entirely without
foundation. Bering demanded and got his discharge in 1724,
because he was dissatisfied with the regulations governing
promotions.
2. Sammlung Russ. Geschichte, III., p. 50.—P. Avril’s Accounts
of America, collected in Smolensk, 1686.—Vaugondie: Memoires,
p. 4. Les géographes des 16’ et 17’ siècles ont toujours pensé que la
mer separait l’Asie de l’Amérique.
See also a very interesting essay on the first Russian accounts of
America: The Great Land, Bolshaia Zemlia, in the Memoirs of the
Department of Hydrography (Zapiski), Vol. IX., p. 78.
The name Anian Strait has arisen through a misunderstanding of
Marco Polo’s book (lib. III., cap. 5). His Ania is no doubt the
present Anam, but the Dutch cartographers thought that this land
was in Northeast Asia, and called the strait that was said to separate
the continents the Strait of Anian. The name appears for the first
time on Gerh. Mercator’s famous maritime chart of 1569.
Dr. Soph. Ruge : Fretum Aniam, Dresden, 1873, p. 13.
3. G. F. Müller, in Schreiben eines Russ. Officiers von der
Flotte, p. 14, seeks to take to himself all the honor for our knowledge
of Deshneff’s journey, but this is not tenable. See Beiträge zur
Kenntniss des russischen Reiches, XVI., 44. Bering did not collect
his information concerning Deshneff in Kamchatka, but in Yakutsk,
and referred Müller to this matter.
