used the name in the page of his diary!) where he speaks of the 
death of MyLius-ERIGHSEN, HAGEN and himself the name acquired a 
significance which made it necessary to keep it. 
Lamberts Land and Edams Kulle (knoll) (see the map, 
scale 1 : 500000). The names originate from a Dutch map?) of 1718, 
on which there are the following notes on the east coast of Greenland, 
at about 781/2 п. lat. “t. Land van Lambert opgedaen 1670.” 
SEE 77 — “t. Land van Edam opgedaen 1655.” 
Edams Kulle is, as seen from the sea, the most prominent part 
of Germania Land. 
As regards the names on Hacen’s sketches from the region round 
Danmarks Fjord and Independence Fjord and their somewhat altered 
position on the final map, I shall in the main refer to the remarks 
made by G. Amprup in the oft-mentioned Report on the Danmark- 
Ekspedition, pp. 221—22. 
To the remarks of Amprup respecting the names I will only add 
the following supplementary details: 
Peary Land: The name is taken from the atlas of Greenland 
in four sheets, published by “Kommissionen for Ledelsen af de geo- 
logiske og geografiske Undersøgelser i Grønland”. According to this 
the name is to be understood as relating to that part of Greenland, 
which lies northwest of Independence Fjord, and thus understod it 
has got into the publications of the Danmark-Ekspedition. In contra- 
distinction certain American maps understand by Peary Land the 
country south of the supposed Peary Channel (see, for instance, the 
map published by the Geographical Society of Philadelphia in North- 
ward over the Great Ice” (London, 1898, vol. II). 
Pearys Øer (Islands). By this name HAGEN designates in his 
croquis (Medd. om Grønland XLI, Pl. IV) some small islets in Inde- 
pendence Fjord. The islets, or at least some of them, were dis- 
covered by Peary and shown in his map sketch in “Northward over 
the Great Ice”. I could not but consider it improbable that MyLius- 
ERICHSEN should have intended to honour the famous American ex- 
plorer by associating his name with such an insignificant locality, 
and I have consequently treated HAGEN's designations, Pearys Øer, 
as an illustrative note made on the map. HAGEN quite naturally was 
anxious to show on the croquis that he had obtained connection
