Freuchen found tent-rings (658) at other places on Væderen; 

 round these were bones of bear, wahus and seal. 



At the head of the fjords are glaciers. The water in front of 

 these is frequented by bears and marine animals the whole year 

 round and favourable hunting possibilities are to be found here 

 Avhen they are less good at other places. 



Carl Hegers (lat. 76° 28', long. 21° 31'). 



Carl Hegers Avas visited by Bistrup, who found 2 small tent- 

 rings (659) on the southern point of the island; these were ca. 200 M. 

 in diameter, with the doorway facing south. They lay ca. 10 meters 

 from the shore, 3 to 4 meters above the sea. 



The fore-land 3 — 4 kilometers west of the tenting-ground is level 

 and the whole south side of the island is fairly fruitful. 



The land was covered with snow in the middle of October 1907 

 and at the same period open water was seen south of the tenting- 

 ground. In the neighbourhood calving glaciers and both bears and 

 seals were seen. 



The remaining islands in the neigbourhood, and the whole 

 western part of Dove Bugt were not investigated ethnographically. 



Tvillingoen (lat. 76° 22', long. 21° 09'). Here 1 tent-ring and 1 

 lire-place were found. 



On Tvillingøen, west of Teufelkap, Bistrup found a tent-ring 

 (660) built of small, flat stones; the front wall was straight, the 

 back wall rounded; the length was 5- 10 M. and the breadth 320 M. 

 The distance from the front wall to the platform edge was 275 M., 

 from the platform edge to the back wall 2 35 M. The doorway faced 

 the N. E. and was 030 M. broad. A large, flat stone lay at the one 

 end of the platform edge. (Fjord seal). Close south of the tent-ring 

 was a large, flat, fixed stone, which had presumably been used for 

 placing meat on. A fire-place (661) was found ca. 10 meters north 

 of the doorway of the tent. The beach opposite the tent-ring was 

 suitable for landing with kayak. 



Bælgen (lat. 76° 21', long. 20° 11'). On a high-lying ground — 

 Bælgen — between Teufelkap and Orgelpiberne, the artists Aage 

 Bertelsen and Achton Friis found some tent-rings (662). In 

 the neighbourhood of these were many, large, frozen-in icebergs 

 in the spring of 1908. The tenting-ground was found on the 

 same island as Orgelpiberne and an excellent view was to be had 

 from it.
