extraordinarily large quantities of certain Amphipoda, especially Pon- 
togeneia inermis and Paramphithoé bicuspis, with other rare species from 
the weed belt. 
The content of the ringtrawl was dealt with in a similar manner, 
except at St. 28, where we had not yet hit upon the method; the advan- 
tage thereby gained may readily be seen on comparing the results from 
this station with these of the other ringtrawl hauls. 
From time to time, also, as opportunity offered, investigations 
were made in such fresh water as lay near to the actual field of work, 
though this formed no part of the plan laid down for the expedition. 
Very little is hitherto known as to the fresh-water fauna of Greenland, 
and the collections thus made also include one (two) new species, viz.; 
Gammarus Zaddachi and Diaptomus castor. 
The present work includes the material of Crustacea and Pycno- 
gonida (determined by the author), Echinodermata (determined by Dr. 
Tu. MORTENSEN), Alcyonaria (determined by Prof., Dr. H. JUNGERSEN) 
and Pisces (determined by Museumsinspector Ap. S. JENSEN). The two 
last-named groups, however, are not included in the geographical sur- 
vey; the Alcyonaria, owing to the fact that the list did not come to 
hand until the present manuscript was almost completed, and Pisces, 
on account of the paucity of the material, from which no results of im- 
portance could be obtained. The expedition, it should be noted, was 
not equipped for the collection of fish. Vermes are at present being dealt 
with by Mag. sc. Hs. Dirtevsen, and Mollusca by Museumsinspector 
Ap. S. JENSEN; the results in both these cases will be published in the 
report of the “Ingolf” expedition. I hope, however, later on to give 
a list of the material from the “Rink” based on the manuscript of these 
two writers. 
Two works dealing in part with results of the expedition have al- 
ready been published; viz. a couple of papers by Dr. TH. MORTENSEN 
on the Echinodermata (vide the systematic portion), in addition to 
which, the voyage furnished opportunities of acquiring information in 
another field, quite apart from zoology, to wit, the study of old Norse 
ruins, new or little known, which forms the subject of a small work 
by the present writer (Medd. om Grønland, vol. 51, Nr. 3, 1913, p. 79— 
101). The fjords about Bredefjord belong, as already mentioned, to 
the old Norse colony of Osterbygd, Tunugdliarfik, or Eriksfjord, being 
the very place where Erik the Red and his fellow-settlers first took up 
land, and considerable remains of his building are still to be seen. A 
large amount of ethnographical material was collected here by stud. 
mag. K. BIRKET-SMITH, who has published a survey of the same in 
Medd. om Grønland, vol. 53, 1, 1915 ("Foreløbigt Bidrag til Kap Farvel- 
Distrikternes Kulturhistorie, paa Grundlag af en nyopdaget Ruingruppe 
i Julianehaabdistrikt”). Excavations were also made in some old Eskimo 
burial places, resulting in the finds of several crania and other skeletal
