This was due to the materials and collections brought from the first circumnavigations by Russian and foreign seafarers, including an outstanding Russian scholar and traveler N. N. Miklukho-Maklai (1846– 1888). It laid the basis for Russian Indonesian studies (founder — L. A. Mervart) and, later, Philippine studies (Roy Fr. Barton), Australian studies (V. R. Kabo), and, finally the studies of Oceania (N. A. Butinov). N. N. Miklukho- Maclay (1846–1888) in an expedition outfit. Электронная библиотека Музея антропологии и этнографии им.
