6. Einds from Bunliolm (69° 54' lat. I,) and Cape Tobin 

 (70° 24' lat. I.). The central part of lorthEast Greenland. 



The objects described below were found at two settlements 

 about 500 kilometres to the north and east of Skaergaardshalvö, 

 namely right up at the mouth of Scoresby Sund. The section 

 of the Carlsberg Fond Expedition which in the summer of 1900 

 was sent out to reconnoitre here, was led by the botanist Ж 

 Hartz, who in his report of the Expedition gives the following 

 description of Dunholm, which lies about 20 English miles 

 south of the entrance of the vast fjord of Scoresby Sund. 



"It is quite a little, low basalt holme, the highest top of which 

 lies about 100 feet above the sea-level .... Eider-fowl and black 

 guillemots brooded here in numbers, and up at the top stood no 

 less than 7 Eskimo winter-houses, grouped in a ring about a little 

 water-wheel, which was quite over-mantled with green sea-weed 

 and teemed with swarms of gnat larves. Dr. Deichmann super- 

 intended the excavation of a few houses and found various well- 

 preserved objects, a comb, weapon heads etc. Down by the shore, 

 moreover, a few tent-rings were seen^)." 



Only a day's journey to the north lies the other settle- 

 ment, Cape Tobin, from which the same number of found ob- 

 jects, namely 20, was brought home, as from Dunholm. The 

 territory around Cape Tobin was surveyed by Dr. Nordenskjold 

 and Lieutenant Koch^). This place received its name during
