Implements and Artefacts of the North-east Greenlanders. 463 



specimens from West Greenland, all from the more northerly part 

 of the coast. One of these, from Sarqaq in the Waigat, presented 

 to our museum by PORSILD, is shown in his work. 1 Outside Green- 

 land, the same bone, used for ajagaq, is found among the Kinepetu 

 and Aivilik Eskimo, 3 and even as far distant as among the Makah 

 Indians at Neah Bay in the State of Washington. 3 



The ajayaq from the east shore of Stormbugt is the first spec- 

 imen of the game found in North-east Greenland. It is also the only 

 kind of game which has been found, unless we consider the little 

 carved bone figures as forming part of a game such as the "tingmiu- 

 jang" of the central Eskimos (cf. pp. 374 75).
