IN NORTHERN MISTS 



This is, as we see, the same idea as already (p. 240) referred 

 to, that the outer ocean runs in through a sound between 

 Greenland and another continent to the south, evidently 

 Wineland, which is thus here again regarded as part of Africa 

 (cf. p. I). 



It is, moreover, striking that neither Wineland, Markland, 

 nor Helluland is mentioned in the " King's Mirror," and Bjarme- 

 land, Svalbard, etc., are also omitted. Thus, it does not give 

 any complete description of the northern lands, but it must be 

 remembered that what we know of the work is only a fragment, 

 and perhaps it was never completed.

 with the ancient Norsemen's geographical ideas about the 

 extreme North, into cartography belongs, so far as is known,
