Ethnographic Description of the Eskimo Settlements 



257 



The temporary meat-store 

 (250) was ca.0-75M. in cross- 

 section. It was covered with 

 snow on June 7th 1908. 



The tent -rings 251-258 

 w^ere found northwards along 

 the coast (cf. Chart, PI. V). 



An old, temporary meat- 

 store (259) was found 10 

 meters east of the ring 258. 

 It was circular, not covered, 

 and built of very large 

 stones; it was 1 M. in dia- 

 meter. 



A collection of large stones 

 was found 10 meters east of 

 the meat-store. Some of these 

 stones composed a set of kayak 

 rests (260), raised only 025 M. 

 above the ground. The rests 

 lay in the direction north — 

 south and the distance from 

 the north to the middle rest 

 was 150 M., between the 

 middle and the southern 180 

 M. The northern and middle 

 rests, each of which consisted 

 of two stones set up against 

 each other, were 075 M. long 

 in the direction east — west. 

 The southern rest consisted 

 of a single stone 035 M. long. 

 Of the remaining stones some 

 were placed together as if for 

 a fire-place (261). 



On a small point,30 meters 

 from its outer end, a double 

 shelter (262) of almost tri- 

 angular form was found, the 

 most acute angle pointing 

 towards the south. The long- 

 est wall, which lay S. — N., was 

 1-40 M., the wall in S. W.—
