by the point, was particularly neat. It was rectangular, and its 

 dimensions were: 1'6 metres in length and 0*6 metres in 

 breadth. The walls, which were built up of flat stones, had a 

 height of 46 centimetres. The grave was covered over with 

 flat stones, and one of its longitudinal walls was partially 

 formed by a fall in the rock, in the grave there were four 

 skeletons. In one corner there were two carved pieces of 

 wood stuck into the ground. Opposite the end of one of the 

 longitudinal walls and along it, there had been built a little 

 square chamber with sides measuring 06 metres and with a 

 height of 31 centimetres. At the bottom of the chamber lay a 

 nondescript remnant of bone. 



П. The settlement on the North side of Depo to was 

 situated on the point between Depot Fjord and the sound 

 which separates Depo to from the mainland. We made only a 

 brief landing here. Seal bones in a high state of decomposition 

 and a few carved pieces of wood lay about the houses and in 

 the immediate vicinity of the houses lay the graves.

 on the NE. side sloped down towards a strip of low-lying and 

 rather fertile ground , which shot a number of small , gently 

 sloping, smooth points out into the water; better spots for 

 hauling up umiaks and kaiaks could hardly be conceived. 

 Thus the place was excellent for Eskimo settlements. However 

 there were only three houses ; on the other hand, traces of 

 numerous tent-rings indicated that the place must once have 

 been a favourite summer resort. The dimensions of the house 

 were as follows:
