        1816-17.    Chamisso, Adalbert Ludwig von, naturalist, poet, born in Boncour. Champagne, in 1781, and Eschscholtz, Johann Friedrich von, of Dorpat, surgeon,1  accompanied KOTZEBUE on his voyage round the world on the ship Rurik. The extensive collections are preserved chiefly in Berlin and Leningrad. The following places were visited in Alaska. In 1816: July 27 St. Lawrence I., a village on the southern shore E. of S.W. Cape; July 31 Sarytchef I. at Shishmaref Inlet; Aug. 1 mainland a little west of Cape Espenberg; Aug. 3 Chamisso I.; Aug. 4-9 Eschscholtz Bay; Aug. 11-12 Good Hope Bay; Sept. 7-15 Unalaska. After wintering in Hawaii the ship returned to Unalaska, where it stayed April 24-June 29, 1817. The following places were visited in 1817: July 1 St. George I.; July 3 St. Paul I.; July 10 St. Lawrence I., a village on the E. side of S.E. Cape; July 22-Aug. 18 Unalaska. During this time a trip was made to the Makushin volcano. An account of the journey was published by KOTZEBUE »Entdeckungsreise in die Süd-See und nach der Berings-Strasse zur Erforschung einer nordostlichen Durchfahrt», Weimar 1830. His work also includes CHAMISSO's own observations on the natural history of the Bering Sea region. The botanical collections of CHAMISSO and ESCHSCHOLTZ from Unalaska, where they worked for 104 days, are the first to give a good idea of the entire phanerogainic flora of a place in Alaska. The botanical results of the expedition were published by CHAMISSO and SCHLECHTENDAL in Linnaea 1826-36 under the title »De plantis in expeditione speculatoria Romanzoffiana observatis». The very valuable papers are the first printed scientific accounts of the Alaskan flora. CHAMISSO also published two other accounts of the trip, viz. »Reise Um die Welt mit der Romanzoffischen Entdeckungs-Expedition in den Jahren 1815-18 auf der Brigg Rurik» (ADALBERT V. CHAMISSO's Werke Bd. 1. Leipzig 1836) and »Bemerkungen und Ansichten auf einer Entdeckungsreise in den Jahren 1815-1818 ...
