354 SPITSBERGEN 



Keulens Baaytje (G. and R., 1707) or little bay, evidently applying, 

 not to the whole Sound, but to some sheltered anchorage, probably 

 the enclosed inlet at the extremity; Keilhau (1827) calls this 

 Mittel-fjord. 



English Tent (Plants varit Engelshuysje, G. and R. 1707). — Situated 

 either on or just within the Pt. Ahlstrand of the chart. 



Point Partition (Gerntsz, 16 13). — Between Sardam and Low Sounds. 



Low Sound (Gerritsz, 1613). — The original English name. R. de 

 Kloeck, or Klok Bay or Rivier appears first in Guerard (1628), and 

 becomes the regular Dutch name (except in Blaeu's text). In 

 some of the preceding chapters I have wrongly used the name 

 Klok Bay for Low Sound. It is wrongly called Rinder's Bay in 

 some Dutch charts (Commelin, Van Keulen). Recently it has 

 been generally known as Van Mijen Bay, but this is the mutilated 

 name of a neighbouring anchorage. 



Coude Herberch (Commelin, 1624). — A name frequently given in old 

 Dutch charts to some anchorage near the head of Low Sound. 



Ondiepe Rivier (Blaeu, 1664). — Described by G. and R. (1707) as 

 "Een drooge Fioerd vol Mouras dar sig veel Rheenen outhouden, 

 genaamt Ondiepe Rivier." Drooge Riv. (Zorgdrager), Dry Fiord 

 (Scoresby). The Norwegian reindeer hunters call it Stordal. 



Wittetn van Muyden's Haven. — A small bay in the N. coast of Bell 

 Sound, west of Axel Island. It was named after the first Dutch 

 interloping skipper who sailed for the Spitsbergen whaling. The 

 bay is called Bottle Cove by Pellham ("God's Power," &rc., 1631), 

 Fair Haven by Scoresby. 



lowsoundness (cape N. of Bell Sound). — So named in Gerritsz (16 13). 

 Loivenesse (Edge, 1625) was probably the original name, and Low 

 Sound was named from it. 



Lisetts Islands. — Named in Edge (1625) and passim till Scoresby 

 (Lissetts). They were placed off the coast between Bell Sound 

 and Ice Sound, where no islands are now marked. 



Ice Sound (the Grooten Inwyck of Barentsz). — First named in Gerritsz 

 (16 1 3). Hudson (translating Barendsz) wrote of it as "the great 

 Indraught," or perhaps "the Sack." It is named Baye des Panoles 

 in Cash (1629). Sometimes it is wrongly called Groenhaven 

 (Blaeu, 1664). 



Russe Keglen (Norwegian name). — The valley between Green Harbour 

 and the W. coast. 



Green Harbour (Gerritsz, 1613). — A name that has never been changed.
