terminal moraine. In front of the glacier there was at that time a 
small lake, comprising the present south-east part of Annekssgen, as 
well as the above-mentioned clay plain. In this lake the glacier 
river deposited, in earlier times, the greater part of its mud, and after 
that continued in a south-easterly direction towards Sælsøen. This 
old outlet into Sælsøen is no longer in existence at normal water- 
level; but it is possible that it may again become active at the 
highest water level in Annekssoen. On the other hand Annekssgen 
has a rather considerable outlet towards northwest, where it dis- 
appears below Kofoed-Hansens Br&. This water course falls in small 
cataracts down towards the ice margin, the foot of which, as already 
mentioned, lies in the same altitude as the level of the sea. 
Stormelven arises from five not quite insignificant water courses, 
of which one or two come from the névés southwest of Kap Marie 
Valdemar, whereas the others rise in the boggy lowlands northeast 
of Moskusoksefjældene and here flow through a series of small lakes. 
At the Iower end of its course Stormelven is 50 to 250 m broad and 
has a strong current. The quantity of water is considerable; still, at 
the end of July 1912, we succeeded though with difficulty in finding 
a crossing at the mouth of the river, which could be forded with 
horses. 
Morkefjordselven. The map of the Danmark-Ekspedition is 
here incomplete. Tne river owes its origin to two or three glacier 
rivers, which through large glacier gates flow out from the inland 
ice, and empty themselves into a large marginal lake. The outlet 
from the marginal lake contains nearly the same quantity of water 
as Stormelven. When we passed it, in the middle of August 1912, it 
was easy enough to ford, but the banks bore distinct traces of the fact 
that the level of the water, quite a short time previously, had been 
1 to 1!/2m higher. In its lower course the river excavates through 
a gravel terrace a ravine of a depth of about 20m. The interior of 
Morkefjord is quite filled up with clay and gravel banks, originating 
from the river. 
Further must be mentioned a marginal river in the land to 
the south of Hellefjord (Daniel Bruuns Land). The river was only 
discovered in 1912, and so is not to be found on the map of the 
Danmark-Ekspedition. West of Hellefjord there is on the map an 
indication of a “snout” in the ice margin. This is the last remains 
of a glacier, which once flowed into Hellefjord. In this place a glacier 
river debouches. Formerly when the inland ice lay only 30 m higher 
up the side of the mountain, the river flowed towards east down to 
Hellefjord through a depression, at the bottom of which there are 
now a series of small lakes. Now this river deflects to the south
