the ice or on other chance circumstances. When an unusually 

 large quantity of minerals has been obtained from any place, it 

 is generally due to the fact that the expedition stayed there 

 some considerable time. On the other hand, there may be many 

 places, exceptionally rich in minerals, from which we have only 

 a few specimens or none at all, simply because the expedition 

 did not stay there long enough for collections to be made. All 

 along the coast, from Кар Dalton southward to Kanger- 

 dlugsuak, no minerals were obtained, as the boat-expedition 

 had neither sufficient time nor room for collecting rocks and 

 minerals. Another entirely unknown region is the south coast 

 of Scoresby Sund, between Кар Brewster and Sydbræ; 

 this coast is very difficult of access and has never been visited 

 by any expedition. 



Moreover, the description by Lenz of the zeolites found in 

 the northern basalt region, is very incomplete. 



As far as can be judged from the material at my disposal, 

 the minerals of the basalt are distributed in the various districts 

 as follows : 



The district from Кар Dalton to Кар Brewster is 

 rich in various minerals, none of which can be said to predo- 

 minate. 



No zeolites have been obtained from Кар Dalton, but 

 small quantities of quartz, calcedony and calcite have been 

 found there. 



In the large, conspicuous medial moraine of Henry Gla- 

 cier, various minerals were found, such as stilbite, heulandite, 

 chabazite, levynite, thomsonite and calcedony. 



Henry Land is fairly rich in minerals, laumontite and 

 stilbite having been obtained thence in comparatively large 

 quantities; most of the other East-Greenland zeolites have also 

 been found there in smaller quantities. 



The district around Turner Sund is also fairly rich in 

 minerals , especially stilbite ; in lesser quantities analcime,
