 | | Two Croatian explorers, brothers Mirko and Stevo Seljan, both born in Karlovac (Mirko was born on April the 5th 1871, and Stevo on August the 19th 1875), went as very young men at the beginning of 1899 to Ethiopia, a country which had attracted them ever since Mirko's visit to Czarist Russia. |
 | | The Seljans soon also became governors of several southern provinces, and from their residences, first of which was Uba, they executed the Emperor's orders at the same time commencing their researches of a geographic and ethnographic character. |
 | | The geographic map of southern Ethiopia sketched "according to nature" by Mirko Seljan in his residence in Uba, in 1900, is in the author's opinion probably the first complete survey of that part of Ethiopia. |
