A researcher asked for an English language translation of Nikolai Przhevalskii's
monograph, Puteshestvåie v Ussuriæiskom kraëiìe, 1867-1869, published in Moscow
in 1870 and in several Russian language editions thereafter. The researcher gave
"Travels in Ussuriski Krai" as an approximate English title.

Worldcat does not list such an English translation under Przhevalskii's name or
the approximate English title. Before I report back to the researcher,  I wanted
to query this group.  I am familiar with "Przewalski" as a common variant
spelling of Przhevalskii's name and recall there are others.

In addition to WorldCat, I checked Books in Print, British Books in Print, and
the catalogs at American Museum of Natural History, Library of Congress and
University of California (Melvyl).

I would appreciate any leads, including "doesn't exist" and "start looking
here."
