All the houses were rather old, No. 3 being in fact of 

 considerable age. An excavation of the houses yielded nothing 

 but some mouldering woodwork. Outside one of them there 

 lay remains of bones of whales. 



IV. The settlement on the NW. side of Storö lay at the 

 end of a valley which extends across the island. There were 

 no less than seven houses. Their dimensions were:

AU the houses looked very old, though No. 5 and 6 did 

 not appear to be so old as the others. House No. 2 was built 

 within No. 1 and house No. 6 within No. 5. The way in which 

 this was done was that two side-walls, almost parallel with 

 the original side-wall, were built within the original house; 

 while the old front and back wall and passage-way were used 

 for the new house. House No. 7 was so old and tumble-down 

 that it could not be measured. It looked as if it had been 

 divided into two rooms; it seems to have been built in two 

 stages, the larger room having been built first, and the smaller 

 one subsequently built within it. Bones and pieces of wood 

 lay scattered about among the houses.

 the great Kangerdlugsuatsiak Fjord was built on a 

 little rocky point. This house, too, looked to be of a con-
