and transparent, or white and dull. In order to render the guts 

 white and dull, they are put out to freeze, so that they are dried 

 by the cold before they are prepared. 



In summer, when the kaiak-jacket is not in use, they wear in 

 the kaiak a beautifully embroidered half-jacket (fig. 299). It is 

 sewed of waterproof skin, and, like the kaiak-jacket, the bottom of 

 it is extended over the hoop of the man-hole (fig. 102). The braces,, 

 which are cut out of seal's teeth, are passed over the shoulders and 

 fastened in buckles on the front side of the jacket. Buckles are 

 seen in fig. 42 (cf figs. 299, 335, 340). Sometimes the kaiaker wears^ 

 besides this, a hooded half-jacket formed like a cut-off" anorak, 

 which is sewed of white unhaired skin (fig. 299). It reaches just far 

 enough for the lower edge to be covered by the kaiak half-jacket, 

 which it is used together with. The kaiak mittens are made of 

 waterproof skin. 



The so-called 'spring coat' kardligpâsalik, was used in olden 

 times in whaling. It is a combined garment, made of water- 

 proof skin, with frock, breeches, mittens and boots in one. 

 We have never seen a 'spring coat' ; but the natives say that there 

 are some few persons who still wear such a garment, out of 

 superstition. 



In summer, when the hood is not drawn over the head, the 

 men wear in the kaiak very pretty-looking caps of whole white fox- 

 skins, with the tail hanging down the back. Sometimes a cap like this 

 is fitted with a peak of wood, which is generally prettily decorated 

 with ornaments of bone and painted red or sooted; but the peaks 

 may also be of skin and embroidered (figs. 314, 315). 



They also wear caps with broad crowns, stretched round a 

 wooden ring and having peaks of skin. In former times they had 

 caps of a similar form, made of the skin of new-born seals (fig. 51 c,. 

 314 a); now they are comparatively seldom seen, having been 

 superseded by European stufs, over which a narrow red ribbon is 

 placed crosswise over a broad white ribbon (fig. 315 b, c). 



Finally, they also wear caps of a high calotte form, very richly 

 embroidered (fig. 51 a, b). 



In place of caps they often wear only peaks or eye-shades 

 (figs. 31G to 322). They are often painted red, and very richly 

 adorned with cut ornaments of bone. The latter, called ingekitak^ 

 are carved out of a single piece of wood. They are worn to protect 

 the eyes from the sunlight which is reflected from the ice. 



In winter time, when sledging, they wear snow-goggles made 

 of a piece of wood and fashioned to fit the face over the eyes. The
