Survey of Northeast Greenland. 341 
In this place Hyde Fjord bends a little, and then it continues, 
as it seems, right through land, so that one would think it was 
connected with the sea towards west. It looks, unfortunately, as if 
we shall be obliged to leave this the most northerly fjord of Green- 
land unfinished; we have only provisions and dogs’ feed for two, 
perhaps two days and a half, so that we are now obliged to return. 
I am quite sorry that I shall not be able to penetrate further into 
this glorious alpine fjord. 
(Here follow pocket book sketches of traces of ptarmigan and 
wolves drawn by BERTELSEN). 
Stone sample: granite’) with big grains of quartz, 320m. Vein 
of quartz with layers of rounded pebbles. Extent of the vein 20 m. 
6 layers of rounded pebbles of 1 cm, altitude above level of the sea 
250m. Perhaps here there is only primary rock!) with veins of 
quartz, as well as two kinds of conglomerate: one conglomerate with 
rounded pebbles, found in situ at 150—200 m, as well as a breccia 
with pebbles of granite, which I have only seen as blocks. 
The vegetation was sparse. In the narrow depressions cutting 
into the land there was a good deal of grass, as well as cassiope 
tetragona, which even in places might form long continuous streaks, 
but the fell field itself was very desolate. It was all the more strange 
to come across traces of musk oxen and foxes, ptarmigan and wolf; 
the last trace was in snow and perhaps a week old. Besides ToBias 
has seen four hares as well as traces of lemming.
