Rests for women's boats: 



The following notes regarding these rests may be added: 



136 (fig. 29): This set of rests w^as the finest, best built and best 

 preserved we have found. The northern rest was formed of 5 — 6 

 square-shaped stones which lay above one another. The middle 

 rest was constructed of many stones and looked like a part of a 

 heavj^ stone-wall; it was Г60 M. long (in E. to W.) below. The 

 south rest was made like the northern, but the uppermost stone 

 had fallen. 



137 (fig. 28): This set lay north of the winter-houses. The 

 northern rest consisted of a single stone standing up on end. 



138: This also lay north of the winter-houses. The middle rest 

 as well as one of the end rests was partially broken down. The 

 longitudinal direction of these rests was most probably east to west. 



Fire-places (139) were seen at several places. 



The whole of Renskæret may be said to require a much more 

 thorough examination than we w^ere able to give it. The islet 

 Maatten should also be investigated. 



Maroussia (lat. 76° 40', long. 18° 33). (Fig. 29). Here we found 

 5 winter-houses, 4 tent-rings, permanent and temporary meat-stores 

 and 1 refuse place. 



Maroussia is a small islet, 26 meters high, which lies ca. 2 kilo- 

 meters south of Renskæret. The east, north and south sides are 

 almost steep, but the west side is to some extent accessible. Al- 

 though the islet is only between 100 and 200 meters in cross-section, 

 it nevertheless contains a number of hollows, rocky slopes and 

 isolated rocks. At several places there are patches of mouldy 

 ground and here lay the winter-houses scattered about at various 

 heights above the sea. In all 5 were found (140 — 144), namely, 2 

 on the west side (140 — 141), 1 in the middle of the islet (142) and 

 •2 on the east side (143 — 144).
