From this row of stones to the east wall, the distance was 115M.; 

 from the doorway, which was 25 M. broad and faced the south, 

 there was a distance of 125 M. to the back wall. 



Near the southernmost tent-ring (355) lay a circular, temporary 

 meat-store (356), 1 M. in diameter, built of large stones. 



A trap (357) (fig. 7), not very conspicuous, stood ca. 20 meters 

 S. S. E. of the tent-ring 355. It was badly built, partly of small 

 stones, and was 070 M. long, 015 M. broad and 015 M. high; the 

 opening faced the south; the falling door had been displaced. 



Near the trap to the north was a fine, square, permanent meat- 

 depot (358), 0-50 M. along the side and 40 M. high. 



Head of Stormbugt (lat. 76° 49', long. 19° 09'). Here we found 

 1 tent-ring, 1 shelter, 1 trap and 4 permanent meat-depots. 



As the head of Stormbugt is regarded the stretch of Winges 

 Kyst between Stormelv and Stormnæs (see Chart, PI. V). The fair- 

 way along the greater part of this stretch of coast is very bad and 

 filled with shallows and reefs. The reefs and off Stormelv are a 

 resort for a number of walrus and large seals in the summertime. 

 We know also from experience, that smaller seals may likewise 

 come here; probably they are not present at the same time as the 

 walrus, as the latter prey upon them, a fact known partly from the 

 statements of our Greenland companions, partly from the obser- 

 vations of the expedition. We may believe, therefore, that the Eski- 

 mos have not had the opportunity to hunt both kinds of animals 

 contemporaneously at the same locality. 



The land along the coast is formed of manj^ clifis, but only of 

 small height. Within the coast-line lie plains and bogs with great 

 quantities of birds; in this region the sledge-party of Koldewey- 

 Payer shot musk-ox in 1870^ The members of the Danmark Expedi- 

 tion shot musk-ox some few kilometers further to the west. 



On the beach below Storm кар we found 2 large, oval perma- 

 nent meat-depots, at a distance of 18 meters from one another. 

 Very large stones had especially been used in their construction 

 and we may believe that they were intended for walrus-flesh. The 

 south one (359) was specially well-built, 120 M. long, 090 M. 

 broad and 024 M . high; the north one (360), in which several stones 

 were wanting, was 130 M. long, 090 M. broad and 024 M. high. 



On the coastal ridge between Stormkap and Stormnæs we found 

 a trap (361) built of large and small stones, 0*60 M. long, 017 M. 

 broad and 017 M. high. The opening faced the south; the falling 

 door was displaced.
