Survey of Northeast Greenland. 353 
Velocity of the wind 4m, WSW. Cover of clouds 1, stratus, haze.

Watch K 5716. 59.1 75.87 295. 
Departure 5.20 р. m. 
10.30 p.m. Distance covered 17.5 km. The land") which is now 
distant from us by about 1 km, has a levelly extending coast line to- 
wards north. Towards NE steep slope’), about 200m high, with 
sandstone crags. Faint tidal pressure ridges along the shore. Course SSE. 
After having covered a distance of 20km, we quite unexpectedly 
came across MyLius-ERICHSEN, northward bound. This meeting caused 
us to camp together. 
The geographical survey of Dove Bugt. 
The most important of the stations determined by means of 
trigonometric station pointings are given in Fig. 32. With these 
practically all the more remote stations in Dove Bugt are connected 
by means of one or more sights, together with astronomical deter- 
mination of the position. In this manner a much greater accuracy 
has been obtained as regards the chartographic material of Dove Bugt 
than is generally attainable in a geographical survey. This not only 
holds good as far as the determinations of the stations are concerned, 
but also as regards the sketching survey. 
The geographical sketching survey in Dove Bugt was at a great 
number of stations performed by means of a vertical base. The alti- 
tudes of the stations, generally determined by means of a trigono- 
metric levelling at points, the altitude of which was beforehand well 
determined, are characterized by a considerable certainty. 
In order to give an impression of the survey work at Dove Bugt, 
I shall below give an extract of observations performed from Station 
XXIV, Teufelkap. This station is the highest and most important 
of all the stations at Dove Bugt, and it is in so far not a typical 
one. The observations from this place, however, furnish certain 
interesting details, owing to the conditions under which they were 
performed, and the manner in which they were carried through. 
The determination of position at Teufelkap is furthermore of special 
interest, in that it enters into the determination of the position of 
Haystack (see chapter II, the Position of Haystack, pp. 237—240). 
The station at Teufelkap was measured 31/V 1908. As the 
mountain is inaccessible at the outer part towards Dove Bugt, 
1) The land between Danmarks Fjord and Hagens Fjord.
