On the portion of the islet which lies to the east of the above- 

 mentioned indentation, we further found 7 tent-rings, 1 trap, 3 small 

 permanent meat-depots and 5 temporary meat-stores, partly along 

 the south coast and partly near a small, now dried-up pool of fresh- 

 water on the ridge of the islet. The pool has been almost circular, 

 ca. 10 meters in diameter, and has had a depth of 025 to 1 meter. 

 I imagine that the occupation of the islet in the summer has been 

 conditioned by the presence of this freshwater reservoir, as the snow 

 does not lie permanently on the islet. 



The measurements of the 7 tent-rings are given in the table 

 p. 261. 



Close to tent-ring 283 to the north we found a circular, tem- 

 porary meat-store (284), 1 M. in diameter, formed of large stones. 



Two small permanent meat-depots (286 — 287) similar to 268 and 

 269 were found 2 to 3 meters south of tent-ring 285. They were 

 circular and constructed of ordinary stones. The first was 015 M. 

 in diameter and 015 M. high, the other 050 M. in diameter and 

 0-25 M. high. 



A small circular, temporary meat-store (289) was found 4 meters 

 south-east of the tent-ring 288. It was constructed of ordinary stones, 

 and was 050 M. in diameter and 020 M. high. 



The fox-trap (290) stood 20 meters N. N. E. of the same tent- 

 ring and was built of small stones, which had been taken in part 

 from ring 294. The trap was 054 xM. long, 013 M. broad and 014 M. 

 high and the bottom was paved with flat stones. The door opening 

 looked towards the south, the falling stone was away and the hind- 

 most covering stones had been removed, but the pointed stone in 

 the back wall was still in its place. 



A circular, temporary meat-store (291) was found 10 meters east 

 of the trap, 15 meters east of the pool. It was open, 030 M. in 

 diameter and 030 M. high. 



The permanent meat-depot 292 was built round a small circular 

 hole in the ground and lay 10 meters N. by W. of the trap. It was 

 constructed of ordinary stones 050 M. in diameter, 040 M. deep; it 

 was open. 



A temporary meat-store (296) was found in ruins 8 meters north 

 of the tent-ring 295. It has been 1 M. in diameter. 



A quite small, temporary meat-store (297) was found 20 meters 

 north of tent-ring 294. It was open, circular, only 015 M. in diameter 

 and 0-30 M. high. 



In the indentation itself we found tent-rings both on the north 

 and on the south side, as also other stone remains on the latter. 



On the north side we found 2, partially disturbed, circular
