ters above the sea. F"alling door in place. Hind- 

 most covering stones removed. Locking stones heav}'. 

 Considerabl}' more recent than the others here. 



Trap 432 lay quite open. It was very old and the side walls 

 were not formed, as in more recent traps, of single, long stones 

 but of many small, and these were not edged but rounded stones. 

 The whole seemed to me a ver}»^ primitive means of capture. The 

 falling door was a small triangular plate of granite, which stood 

 in its place with its point upwards. All the stones were sunk 

 several cm. into the ground. 



Trap 433 was also of older construction and was in part broken 

 down. To obtain a good bottom for the trap, so that the animal 

 captured should not be able to dig its way out through the loose 

 gravel, the bottom had been paved with flat stones before the trap 

 was built; the long walls and the back wall were built on this base. 



North-East coast of Farsund. The land here has been but 

 little investigated in ethnographical regards. We found 1 trap. 



From Snenæs a ridge leads towards the north, and though its 

 western slope at the southernmost end has no real, low-lying shore, 

 there is room for a couple of small points which afford good tenting 

 ground. On this stretch however we found no building remains. 



In the sound between Nordre Orienteringsø and the land north 

 of Snenæs, Farsund, there is a strong current in the summer-time 

 — especially at ebb-tide.
