1) The linear horizontal measures in the panorama fit very 
badly in with the corresponding angular measures in FREUCHEN's map. 
2) It is necessary to suppose a course of the coastline imme- 
diately west of the cairn of Mylius-Erichsen, almost as shown on 
Fig. 60, but neither HAGEN's nor FREUCHEN's map justifies a pre- 
sumption of this kind. 
3) FREUCHEN's map must be encumbered with greater errors 
than one is likely to suppose. 
The other possibility, it is true, does not result in such a com- 
plete harmony between the panorama and FREUCHEN’s map as could 
be desired; but it is possible to explain the discrepancies without 
straining the facts. 
There are scarcely other possibilities than the two mentioned 
above, and one consequently has to be content with the latter, as 
the one containing the balance of evidence. 
According to this we get: 
The stretch 1—2 Academy Kyst. 
The stretch 2—9 Vildtland. 
Glacier A Academy Bræ. 
Peak 7 Navy Cliff. 
Peak 8 Kap Lundbohm. 
Glacier B М. Ib Nyeboes Bre. 
Peak 10 Kap Schmelck. 
From the above reflections it appears that HAGEN most 
probably, in the interior ofIndependence Fjord, made ob- 
servations from two stations which were connected with 
each other by means ofazimuth and distance, and situated 
in such a manner that by bearings from them he has 
been able: 1) to obtain a good connection with PEary's 
most reliable point, Navy Cliff, 2) to determine the main 
features of the inner contours of-the;fjord, ава 3). 10 
determine the position and altitude of the more pro- 
minent mountains. 
It might seem all the more strange that HAGEN has not sketched 
the map of the interior of Independence Fjord, the locality with 
which the considerable geographical discovery of the non-existence 
of the Peary Channel was associated. In Medd. om Grønland XLI, 
р. 474, Amprup has hinted at the possibility that the paper which 
HAGEN used for his drawing, did not permit of his delineating the 
interior of the fjord. This may have been a collateral cause. I am,
