low ridge on llie upper side; there is often a horizontal plane be- 

 tween the line grooves. 



To this type belong: 



Mus. No. I.. 3801. Snenæs, house 406; length 85 cm. 

 (PI. XIII, 4). 



L. 3046. Snenæs, grave 422; length 10 cm. (PI. VIII, 3). 



L. 3042. Snenæs, grave 422, miniature specimen; 

 length 3-8 cm. (PI. VIII, 2). 



L. 3975. Rypefjeldet, house 527; length 83 cm.; 

 much weatherworn. 



L. 4017. Rypefjeldet, from one of the houses ; length 

 8.5 cm. (Fig. \b). 



L. 4018. Rypefjeldet, from one of the houses ; length 

 54 cm. (Fig. 4a). 



From the region south of the area invest- 

 igated by the Expedition, between 70° and 75°, 

 there are several specimens of this type. ^ These 

 more southerly harpoon heads are slightly broa- 

 der between the barbs, but otherwise they ap- 

 proximate more nearly to the above mentioned type than to the 

 harpoon heads from Angmagsalik.'^ 



Type II. Thicker than they are broad; quadrilateral with 

 rounded angles in transverse section. The line hole is drilled hori- 

 zontally, the line grooves being situated at the margins. 

 In the present collection, all the specimens of this type, 

 with the exception of the miniature harpoon s^iown on 

 PI. IX, 3, have blade slits; one of the specimens is, how- 

 ever, so weatherworn that on this point nothing can 

 be stated with certainty. 



The following specimens belong to this type : 



a. With two barbs at the butt end: 



Mus. No. L. 3553. Renskarret, house 134 (Fig. 5); length 9 cm.; 

 bone blade still attached, being fastened by a bone nail in a 

 slit, 19 cm. deep; blade 28 cm. long and 21 cm. broad at the butt 

 end, where it originally had two small barbs, one of which is 

 now broken. 



L. 3798. Snenæs, house 406 (PI. XIII, 5); length 101 cm.; 

 the blade slit, which was made by drilling, is Г6 cm. deep and 

 03 cm. broad; no nail hole. 



L. 3800. From the same house as the preceding (PI. XIII, 3); Type IIa 

 length 93 cm.; slit drilled, 15 cm. deep, 03 cm. broad; no nail hole. 2/3.
