Cfr. BrunetIV325 - GraesseV109.Peter Simon Pallas 1741-1811 naturalista tedesco. Lavorò per qualche anno nei musei di Olanda e Inghilterra poi fu chiamato dalla Russia a prender parte ad una spedizione. Fu uno dei più eminenti esploratori del sec. XVIII e le collezioni zoologiche geologiche botaniche archeologiche ed etnologiche che raccolse durante le sue spedizioni furono di notevolissima importanza. la sua opera fornisce una massa enorme di osservazioni isolate sui modi di sussistenza delle popolazioni sulle miniere sulla caccia e la pesca sulle formazioni steppose primo tentativo di suddivisione della Russia in provincie botaniche sulle terre nere da lui così battezzate sul clima specialmente del basso Volga sulla formazione delle montagne osservazioni sui graniti in rapporto alle eruzioni sul terreno gelato della Siberia. A lui si deve pure una serie di ricerche sull'antica unione del Mar Nero Caspio e Aral di cui è data per la prima volta una spiegazione plausibile cfr. Enciclopedia TreccaniXXVI p. 122.
