ISBN: 9781332061167 出版年：2016 页码：112 H J Snow Forgotten Books

The Kuril Islands being but little known geographically or otherwise, the following notes may perhaps be of some small value. They are the outcome of many visits, extending over a number of years, in the course of which every island has been visited, and each one circumnavigated many times. The remarks upon the physical features of the islands, the climate, winds, currents, inhabitants, fauna and flora, are all from personal observations. For a few general particulars as to their discovery, annexation by Russia, eruptions of volcanoes, etc., I am indebted to various authorities.
