5. Finds from SkærgaardsMvo (68° lat К), the most 

 southerly part of Iforth East G-reenland. 



The foregoing sections have treated of three kinds of Eskimo 

 implements which have hitherto been the object of particular 

 attention on the part of ethnographers, and which are all re- 

 presented in Amdrup's collection from North East Greenland, 

 without taking into account the particular locality on the coast 

 where they were found. 



The rest of the collection will be described in the geo- 

 graphical order, the sections beginning from the southernmost 

 place of former habitation and proceeding gradually north. As 

 1 have mentioned before, I reckon the southern boundary of 

 North East Greenland to lie where the Ammassalik district 

 begins, namely at Kangerdlugsuak, at about 68° lat. N. and 

 31° 56' long. W. On the coast just north of this fjord was 

 discovered an extinct Eskimo settlement, where the expedition 

 made a comparatively rich haul of archæological relics and 

 remains. 



[ shall here quote Lieutenant Amdrup's own description, 

 translated into English. He was coming at that time from the 

 north. On the 29th July 1900 he had left Cape Dalton, the 

 most northerly starting point of the Expedition, in an open boat, 

 whence with three companions he made his way southwards 

 along the coast, following the polar current, towards Ammas- 

 salik. On the 8th August they had reached Kangerdlugsuak, 

 where the peninsula of Skaergaardshalvö lies.
