The Greenland Bow. | 5 
in detail by FABRICIUS? in one of his classic works on implements of 
the chase among the West Greenland natives, but Fabricius does not 
mention the compound type, and was of course unacquainted with 
that of the Polar Eskimo, nor would he have been able to view the 
type described as in relation to forms used by other Eskimo tribes. 
The main object of the present paper is to take up the work which 
FABRICIUS was unable to complete, so that the following pages should 
most properly be regarded as a supplement to the works in which 
he and Мовросн laid the foundations for a study of the subject. A 
list of the material contained in the Ethnographical Collection of the 
National Museum will also be given. To the Director of this last- 
named institution, Dr. phil. Sopuus MÜLLER, and to Underinspektor 
Tu. THOMSEN, I wish to express my cordial thanks for their courtesy 
in affording me all facilities for the work.
