who have entrusted their collections to its care, as well as towards the 
science of which such collections form the principal foundation. It will 
be necessary, moreover, in the course of the work, to make various 
additions concerning different portions of the subject-matter. 
PLAN AND CONTENTS OF THE WORK. 
At a cursory glance, it appears somewhat difficult to obtain a clear 
idea as to the contents of the work. According to the Title Page, 
the work should contain “the ethnological and anthropological results 
of С. Horm’s expedition in 1883—85 and С. Amprup’s expedition in 
1898—1900”. The Preface states that the volume combines “the eth- 
nographic results of three Danish expeditions to East Greenland”, namely, 
in addition to the two already mentioned, “W. THALBITZER’s voyage 
and wintering at Ammassalik in 1905—06”. On examination of the 
actual Contents we find, that the sıx first chapters (317 pages) consist 
of an English translation of G. Нотм’з work already mentioned, 
and the papers published in connection therewith in Vol. 10 of Medd. 
om Gronland. The work has been partially revised, and augmented 
with some new matter: to Ногм’5 work, for instance, a description 
of the journey has here been added, together with some new reproduc- 
tions, while on the other hand, most of the illustrations pertaining to 
the Horm collection have been removed from their place, and new 
reproductions of the same objects included in Chapter VII. 
The six first chapters are thus, in all essentials, a translation of 
previously printed work of acknowledged value. The seventh and 
last, which comprises the greater part of the book, is composed 
of entirely new matter. The first chapters having dealt with Horm's 
expedition, one might naturally expect the last to give the promised 
ethnological and anthropological results of the Амовор expedition, or, 
trusting to the words of the Preface, one might even hope to find those 
of THALBITZER’s as well; the title of Part VII, however, mentions only 
the ethnographical collections made by С. Нотм, С. Amprup and J. РЕ- 
TERSEN. The anthropologist who had hoped to find there С. AmpruPp’s 
anthropological results will thus be disappointed, while the ethnographer, 
on the other hand, will be pleasantly surprised to find that the promised 
number of collections has been increased by one, viz; JoHAN PETERSEN’S; 
he will also, on perusing the part in question, find both the “Gronlandske 
Administration’s” and W. THALBITzER’s collections represented. 
The confusion which is thus apparent in the plan of the work as a 
whole is, however, by no means inherent in the task entrusted to the 
Editor, which was briefly and plainly this: to describe the Amprup
