NOTES. 



1. The North German Polar Expedition of 1870, consisted of the steam-ship Oermania, 

 143 tons, and the Hansa, a sailing vessel of 242 tons. Its object was geographical discovery 

 towards the North Pole by the Eastern Coast of Greenland. On reaching the coast, the 

 vessels became separated, the sailing ship, proceeding to the southward, was ultimately 

 lost in a storm, and the crew, taking refuge on an ice-floe, were drifted several hundred 

 miles to the southward, to within reach of a Danish settlement near the southern 

 extremity of Greenland. The GM-mania wintered near the southern end of Pendultun 

 Island, near the locality of Sir Edward Sabine's Magnetic Observatory, when he visited 

 the locality with Captain Clavering, in 1823. From this point, sledging expeditions in 

 the spring of 1870 were undertaken, which reached as far as 77° North latitude. 



2. An interesting account was published of the Discoveries on the Eastern Coast of 

 Greenland, by Captain Graah, of the Danish Eoyal Navy, in 1829, who proceeded along 

 the coast from Staten Hook, to the parallel of 65^°, and disproved the existence of any 

 ancient European colony upon it. In a single boat, amid difficulties almost insuperable,
