Excerpt from The Crimea and Odessa: Journal of a Tour, With an Account of the Climate and Vegetation The Journey in the Crimea and Southern Russia narrated in the following pages, and only published within the last few months, was performed by Professor Charles H. E. Koch, Ph. D., M.D., in the autumn of 1844, at the close of a still more extensive tour in the Caucasus, which was undertaken for scientific objects, and for which he received assistance from the Russian Government and the Academy of Sciences in Berlin. He also visited those parts in the year 1836, but the investigations in which he was engaged were then suddenly interrupted by an attack of fever, which compelled him to return home, and it was with a view of completing these that the second journey was undertaken. Dr. Koch is a Professor in the University of Jena, but, in order to work out the results of both his tours, he removed to Berlin, where he is now resident, and, at the request of the Minister of Public Instruction, was permitted to deliver lectures "honoris causa" at the university of that city.
