EDITORIAL NOTE 
The committee which was appointed in 1906 for the “Danmark- 
Ekspeditionen til Grønlands Nordøstkyst 1906—08” consisted — in 
addition to the leader of the Expedition, M. Mylius-Erichsen — of 
Captain (now Commodore) G. Amdrup, Valdemar Gliickstadt, consul- 
general, Erik 5. Henius, consul, and Commodore G. Holm, and held its 
first meeting on March 28th, 1906. When the Expedition returned in 
the autumn of 1908, bringing home considerable scientific material, 
the committee was supplemented with Professor Hector Jungersen, 
Professor N. V. Ussing and Professor Eug. Warming to conduct the 
investigation and publication of this material. Professor Warming 
undertook the position of chairman of the committee. 
Mylius-Erichsen perished during the Expedition; for further par- 
ticulars see G. Amdrup: Report on the Danmark Expedition, vol. XLI, 
рр. 187—238. 
Of the remaining seven members of the committee, Professor Ussing 
died on July 23rd, 1911 and Professor Jungersen on March 6th, 1917, 
a loss which is greatly to be deplored. 
The funds for the investigation and publication of the material in 
question were very generously granted by the Rigsdag and by the Carls- 
berg Fund. 
According to an agreement with the "Kommissionen for Ledelsen af 
de geologiske og geografiske Undersøgelser i Grønland”, it was decided 
that the publications of the Expedition should be included in six con- 
secutive volumes of "Meddelelser om Grønland”, viz. vols. XLI—XLVI. 
The committee, regarding its task as now completed, eæpresses its 
thanks to all who have in various ways assisted it in its work, and 
delivers over the completed work to the above named commission.
