It was a bad day for eastern Siberia when
the Yakouts were crowded up to the Lena
by the victorious Tungusi, for they in turn
dispossessed the weaker tribes which thew
found in possession of the country, and
established themselves as far eastward as
the kolyma river, on the frontier Of
Tchuktchi, the most eastern tribe of Asia,
whose ultimate boundary is the Arctic
ocean and Bering sea. The Yakouts, or
Jaksts, have always possessed q higher
civilization than is found elsewhere III the
same latitude, except in Iceland, Finland,
and Norway: and by their superior intelli-
stamped their impress upon all with whom
they have come in contact.
Theirs is the dominant language from
the basin of the Lena to the extreme east
