Why it matters
French 1832 state that titles the region 'Siberie ou Russie d'Asie' rather than Tartarie, forty years after Bonne (M015) still used Tartarie; a French data point for the terminological shift before the 1840s.
Places named
Siberia; Russian Asia to Kamchatka; Kirghiz steppe; Chinese frontier
