numbers of excellent pictures, drawings and maps, can be highly re- 
commended to all who wish good and relieable information concerning 
the ancient colony. All sources, both ancient and new, have here been 
thoroughly and intelligently made use of, likewise the rendering of the 
ancient text is completely relieable. 
For the first time we here have a work, in which saga records are 
seen against the background of modern geographic and archæologic 
studies in Iceland and Greenland, which in a great measure are carried 
on by the author himself.
