Bemerkninger til Kartet. 



Kartprojectionen er Mercators. Maalestokken 1 : 200,000. 

 Navnene paa Kartet ere alle paaførte af mig. Jeg har 

 for det første beholdt alle de gamle hollandske Navne, i 

 Originalsproget eller oversatte. Dernæst har jeg beholdt 

 alle de af Scoresby og Carl Vogt givne Navne. Og ende- 

 lig har jeg tilfojet en Del nye Navne. ' Disse ere: Wey- 

 prechts Brce, til Minde om den fremragende Polarfarer, hvis 

 store Plan til Undersøgelse af Polar] åndenes fysiske Forhold 

 nu bliver realiseret ; Kjerulf s Bræ, elter den berømte. norske 

 Geolog; Foyns Bræ, efter Capt. Svend Foyn, der var den 

 første Nordmand, som gik i Spidsen for de Norskes Sæl- 

 fangst ved Jan Mayen; Krater Sårs, efter Expeditionens 

 Medlem, Prof. G. O. Sårs; Clandeboye Creek, det Punkt,

 (et Navn, der betegner et Tag over en Høstak. der minder

 Expeditionens Medlem, Dr. Danielssen, der botaniserede 

 her; Krater Blytt, efter Prof. A. Blytt, der har bestemt 

 de paa Jan Mayen indsamlede Planter ; Tomøes Bæk, efter 

 Expeditionens Medlem, Chemikeren H. Tornøe, som fa.ndt

Kemarks on the Map.

 All of the names are selected. by myself. First, I have

 names given by Scoresby and Carl Vogt. And finally, I 

 have added new names. viz. Weyprechtfs Glacier, in memory 

 of the renowned traveller. whose comprehensive plan for 

 the investigation of the physical conditions of the Arctic 

 Regions is now in course of realisation ; Kjerulf 's Glacier, 

 after the celebrated Norwegian geologist; Foyn's Glacier, 

 after Captain Svend Foyn, the first of Lis countrymen who 

 started a Norwegian sealing fishery off the coa.sts of Jan 

 Mayen; Sars's Gråter, atter Professor G. O. Sårs, member 

 of the Expedition; Clandeboye Creek, the spot where Lord

 volcanic cone); Danielssen 's Crater, after Dr. Danielssen, 

 member of the Expedition. who botanised on its slope; 

 Blytt 's Crater, after Professor A. Blytt, who has determined
