Note 2 — Chapter XXI · OUR SOJOURN ON BINGÖL

Existing literature on the subject is not satisfactory. I may cite the following:—Koch, Reise im pontischen Gebirge, etc., Weimar, 1846, pp. 365 seq., and p. 333; Der Kaukasus, Landschafts- und Lebens-Bilder, by the same author, published posthumously, Berlin, 1882. See the chapter entitled “Der Berg der tausend Seen.” P. de Tchihatchef (1858), Asie Mineure, part iv., Geology, Paris, 1867, vol. i. pp. 279–285; Kotschy, Reise von Trapezunt, etc., in Petermann’s Mittheilungen, 1860; Strecker, Beiträge zur Geographie von Hoch-Armenien, in Zeitschrift der Gesellschaft für Erdkunde zu Berlin, 1869, pp. 512 seq.; Radde in Petermann, 1877, pp. 411 seq. Of these, Radde’s article is the most reliable, and is, indeed, a valuable contribution, so far as it goes. Abich has endeavoured to make the best of these accounts. See Geologische Forschungen in den kaukasischen Ländern, Vienna, 1882, part ii. sec. 1, p. 77, and pp. 87 seq. ↑
