found on Amdrup's boat expeditions, and it lives scarcely very 

 far to the South of Cape Dalton. 



Trichecbus rosmarns L. Walrus. 



At Angmagsalik K. Poulsen heard that the Walrus is now 

 and then seen and caught, but seldom, often with intervals of 

 years. 



Near Sabine Island, close by the ship, two adult walruses 

 were seen playing with each other on July 11, 1900. Two 

 appeared in Turner Sund on July 27. 



Erignathiis barbatus Fabr. Bearded Seal. 



On the boat expeditions to the North of Angmagsalik, in 

 September 1898, and in the summer 1899, Poulsen now and then 

 saw the Bearded Seal singly. At Angmagsalik it is said to be 

 stationary, and it is caught rather commonly, yet not nearly so 

 often as the ringed seal, and the harbour seal. According to 

 the opinion of the Greenlanders, the reason of its wearing off 

 its teeth so much is, that it swallows a great many small stones 

 and gravel with its food, that consists mostly of mussels, which 

 it fetches on the bottom of the sea. 



A big bearded seal was seen at Sabine Island on July 11, 

 1900. In the last part of July several were seen in Turner 

 Sund on the ice, that was carried to and fro by the stream 

 continuously. One appeared in Hurry Inlet on August 20. In 

 the stomachs of the two killed bearded seals. Deichmann found 

 remains of fish. 



Phoca yitulioa L. Harbour Seal. 



Poulsen saw the Harbour Seal singly, during the boat ex- 

 peditions to the North of Angmagsalik, in September 1898, and 

 in the summer of 1899. It is stationary at Angmagsalik, he 

 says, less common than the ringed seal, and is scarcely ever 

 caught, but in summer. Most common it seems to be in
