Survey of Northeast Greenland. 383 
The supposition set forth on an earlier occasion that the bearing 
М 89° W has been directed towards Peak 710 оп FREUCHEN’s map 
must now be abandoned, and it becomes probable that instead of 
this it has been directed towards the front of Kap Schmelck. Sup- 
posing this to be the case the error of the bearings becomes about 
14 degrees. If all the bearings are corrected in conformity with this 
we get: 
N 55° + 14° W goes across the eastern border of Glacier I. 
N 89° + 14° W becomes the tangent of the front of Kap Schmelck. 
N123° — 14° W becomes the tangent of Academy Kyst from 
Station a. 
N 121° + 14° W may be supposed to be directed towards а cape 
on the east side of Vildtland. FREUCHEN’S map does not show the 
existence of such a cape. How- 
ever, PEARY in his above-men- 
tioned sketch of 1892 indicated, 
southeast of Navy Cliff, a hollow 
towards Academy Br&; I have 
shown this in Fig. 60 by means 
of a dotted line. On account of 
the vault of the glacier a cape 
may seem to appear nearly at 
c (Fig. 60), and towards this the 
bearing N 121” + 14° W might per- 
haps be imagined to be directed. 
N 130° + 14° W tangent to 
Academy Kyst from Station b. 
It has already been mentioned that Peaks 4, 5, 6 and 7 of the 
panorama in altitude and mutual position fit in surprisingly well 
with the Peaks 670, 420, 790 and 710 of FREUCHEN’s map. According 
to this Peak 4 should be Kap Schmelck. This explanation is sup- 
ported by the fact that Glacier I on FrEucHEn’s map might in that 
case be supposed to correspond to Glacier B of the panorama. Against 
this consideration it may be urged, and with full justice, that in case 
Point 2 in the panorama is to be a point in Academy Kyst and 
Point 3 the front of Kap Schmelck, then the gap between 2 and 3 
becomes far too small. Presuming that НАсем’з bearings are really 
encumbered with an error of about 14 degrees — which supposition 
seems extremely likely — the angle between the tangent to Academy- 
Kyst from the cairn and the direction at Kap Schmelck becomes 
nearly 41 degrees; if this should correspond with the interval 2—3, 
the whole panorama would exceed 360 degrees. The consequence of 
this must be:
