The grave 325, which was 

 found ca. 40 meters N. W. of 

 grave 323, was constructed in 

 a rocky cleft which led in the 

 direction N.N.E.-S.S.W. The 

 one long wall was formed by 

 the cliff, the other by a long 

 stone, which was inclined over 

 towards the opposite wall, so 

 that the grave was almost 

 closed; the openings left were 

 covered by smaller stones. 

 The grave was 125 M. long, 

 0-60 M. broad and 0'43 M. high. 

 Inside, the grave had been 

 packed with earth, broken 

 stones and ice; in the space 

 were parts of a skeleton, as 

 also a quantity of hair, which 

 had belonged to the skin 

 wrapped round the body. On 

 the skull, pieces of which lay 

 at both ends of the grave, a 

 few tufts of hair of dark-brown 

 colour could be seen. No grave 

 articles Avere found. A bear's 

 tooth lay outside the grave. 



Grave 326 was situated in 

 the neighbourhood of the two 

 mentioned. I measured this in 

 the summer of 1907, but when 

 I went to examine it more 

 closely in the spring of 1908 

 I could not find it again; it 

 was probably hidden under 

 the snow. It was 100 M. long 

 (in the direction east — west), 

 0'44 M. broad and О'ЗО M. high. 

 Externally it was 1 70 M. long, 

 1-20 M. and 0-80 M. high. It 

 was empty apparently. In the 

 neighbourhood of the grave 

 I found a piece of the runner 

 of a sledge of walrus-tusk.
