Emanuel. In the process of studying the collected material, modern principles and methods of historical research were used, first of all, the principles of scientificity and objectivity. Such scientists as A.Ya. Kupfer and E.Kh. Lenz, who conducted physical and geological studies, zoologist E.P. Menetrier and botanist K.A. Meyer were invited to the expedition and actively worked on the study of the Elbrus region.

This set of materials was partially identified by us, a number of previously published and are used in this article. Both the information itself in these areas and the historical description of the activities of scientists in collecting it are of scientific interest. Keywords: G.A.
