8) p. 430 ad 552. — The “correction” is probably incorrect. A 
small vessel like this, of the pertaq type, might very well be a drinking 
cup, cf. my book p. 557, where my knowledge is more particularly based 
on material from American writers, among them Murpocx р. 101. 
Hoım calls the vessel in question a Bæger, ‘a beaker’, ‘goblet’ (Medd. 
om Grenl. vol. X, Pl. XXX). It is possibly more luxuriously finished 
than is generally the case, but intended for scooping up water, or to 
drink from.

a repetition of what I have myself stated in the text (1914, p. 614

during my photographing of the objects in the Museum. And the accu- 
racy of his identifications from my illustrations is, as we have seen under

11) p. 433 ad 725—28. In these pages of my book I have reca- 
pitulated and emphasised what I have called the ethnographical pro- 
vincialisms of the Ammassalimmiut, as they appeared at the time when 
the distriet was discovered, without regard to the genesis of single fea- 
tures. That this was my intention is clearly evident from my discussion 
of the subject on p. 729, where I particularly presuppose a number 
of these features to be “old relicts” formerly more widely distributed 
in Greenland. Wherever I refer to them as “local inventions”, I ex- 
press myself with more reserve, and even add: “A few more of the pe- 
culiarities mentioned as only known now from Ammassalik have cert- 
ainly been used earlier on the other coast”. This last point is illustrated 
by many examples. Among them I have also mentioned the working 
implements of the men and women (knives, ulos, etc.). The cross-shaped 
kaiakstand from the northern part of West Greenland I have mentioned 
not only on p. 387, but also here p. 729. I have noted this form as a 
provincialism at Ammassalik from the fact of its being still in general 
use there long after it had been relinquished in West Greenland. 
In issuing my summary, I had also particularly aimed at eliciting in- 
formation as to the corresponding features on the West Coast, and 
succeeded in so doing far sooner than I had anticipated. Almost imme- 
diately, as a matter of fact, the Head of the Danish Arctic Station at
