The standard work on Transcaucasian bibliography is Miansarov (M.), Bibliographia Caucasica et Transcaucasica. S. Pbg., 1874-76, 8vo, 804 pp., 4840 refs. It is rather scarce, as the edition was limited to 600 copies. Only one volume has been published, although a second was promised. Most of the works mentioned are in Russian or Armenian, and as far as European publications are concerned, Miansarov is very incomplete. In the following pages I have referred to comparatively few Russian books. After Miansarov, the following, among many others, may with advantage be consulted:-- Catalogue de la Section des Russica, published by Bibl. imp. publ. de St. Pbg., 1873. 2 vols. 8vo. Semenov (P.), Geografichsko-statistichskii slovar Rosiiskoi Imperii. Pbg., 1863-1885. 5 vols. 4to. Stuckenberg (J. Ch.), Versuch eines Quellen-Anzeigers ... fuer das Studium der Geographie ... des Russischen Reichs. Pbg., 1849-1852. 2 vols. 8vo. I am fully conscious of the shortcomings of this essay, and shall be glad to find it extended and corrected by later writers, to whom it may serve as a groundwork. Works of special interest are marked *. GEOGRAPHY, TRAVELS, AND MISCELLANEOUS LITERATURE. * Brosset (M. F.), Description géographique de la Géorgie par le Tsarévitch Wakhoucht. Texte géorgien suivi d'une traduction française. Avec 6 cartes lith. S. Pbg. Acad. Scient., 1842. 4 to. Wakhoucht wrote to the local authorities all over the country, asking each for information about his own district; the present standard work was the result of his inquiries. Ancient Geography. Cf.
