freeze solid. The Naze was only visited by a single sledge-party. 

 I endeavoured to get there myself in February 1908, but owing to 

 various circumstances was obliged to turn back, when apparently 

 but 3 to 4 kilometers from the spot. 



According to the information given by Jarner, there are 7 tent- 

 rings here (713), ca. 5 M. in diameter and ca. 18 M. in circum- 

 ference externally. They lay on the extreme point of the Naze. On 

 the tenting-ground many bones of walrus were found. Between the 

 tent-rings was a stone structure (714), which the Greenlander 

 Hendrik Olsen took to be a grave. 



This information is based on occasional diary notes, from which 

 we learn further that Jarner, after examining the remains, gained 

 the impression that the whole composed a large settlement. 



First-lieutenant Trolle writes regarding this tenting-ground^: 



"Before leaving- Hendrik sliowed us some large Eskimo tent-rings ^ as 

 also a place which he said was an Eskimo burial place*". 



Hendrik Olsen has later informed me, that he also saw a cairn 

 (715) on Кар Arendts Næs. 



District VI: The coast between Shannon and Clavering 0. 



Coast north of Haystack (lat. 75° 50', long. 19° 40'). Jarner 

 writes in his diary, written on the return journey from Ardencaple 

 Inlet, as follows: 



"'^3|5 1908. It has been a long and heavy day. We are now on the islet ^ 

 in Bessels Fjord. Here we have found many fresh tracks of bear, six on 

 the old ice. At one place we saw that the bear had eaten seal, also on the 

 unbroken ice. In passing I saw 2 tent-rings'', ca. 10 kilometers north of 

 Haystack." 



Haystack (lat. 75' 43', long. 19° 24'). Here Jarner found 12 

 tent-rings, 2 shelters, 3 permanent meat-depots, 7 temporary meat- 

 stores, 1 fire-place, 1 set of kayak rests and 1 other stone-remain; 

 on these he writes as follows: 



"On a Hat foreshore along the south side of Haystack we found a large 

 tenting-ground, on which the remains lay in order from west to east'. 



(717). A four-sided, rectangular tent-ring, 226 M . long and 212 M. broad; 

 the north wall had been disturbed- A small square space outlined in the 

 N. E.corner of the ring. A collection of stones, 047 M. square, found in the ring.
