falling door was found. As in the north trap, the front covering 

 stones had been removed. The opening looked towards the E. N. E. 

 Both the traps were completely blocked up with snow on my visit 

 in February 1908. 



On a similar projection in the coast-line, about 500 meters south 

 of these 2 traps we found 2 others at a height of ca. 8 meters above 

 the sea and ca. 20 meters from the shore. They lay N. W. — S.E. of 

 one another at a distance of 18 meters and the surroundings were 

 similar to those in which the traps 171 and 172 were found, and 

 they were just as prominent as the latter. 



The north — west trap (173), which was built of small stones, 

 was 075 M. long, 0'13 M. broad and 017 M. high, with the opening 

 towards the S. E. The door, which was in its place, was of the 

 same form as that to trap 171 (see the figure). It was formed of a 

 slab of gneiss, 1 to 2 cm thick (somewhat unevenness in thickness), 

 ca. 055 M. long and respectively 040 and 022 M. high. Entrance 

 to the trap has been very difficult, as an ordinary falling door 

 was placed very close outside the turning door, supported out- 

 side by heaped stones. This arrangement in conjunction with a 

 small, oblong, rectangular stone, which stood on end between the 

 ordinary falling door and the turning slab, was intended to prevent 

 the latter from being pushed aside by the captured animal. The 

 front covering stones had been removed and moss was growing in 

 the interior. 



The south -east trap (174), which was 068 M. long, 015 M. broad 

 and 0*22 M. high, was built of large and heavy stones. The falling 

 door was away and the covering stones had been removed from 

 both ends of the trap, but the long walls and the back wall still 

 stood. The opening looked towards the S. E. 



These traps were also blocked up with snow when I visited 

 them. 



Further south on the peninsula we found 2 more traps (175), 

 but they were quite buried in the snow. 



On the northernmost part of the east side of Harefjeldet we 

 found a trap (176) lying about 170 meters above the sea. It was 

 066 M. long, 017 M. broad and 019 M. high. The opening looked 

 towards E. by N. and the falling door, which consisted of a flat 

 slab of gneiss ca. 175 cm thick, had been moved to the left 

 side of the entrance. When the trap was visited in February 1908 

 it was half-filled with snow. It was built on a bare, windy, ice- 

 marked piece of rocky ground, which stood out from the loose 

 material; it was formed of comparatively small stones with a few 

 larger among them. It was quite prominent against the land, and
