number of umiaks, they have twice as many as the latter, and far 

 more than in the Julianehaab District. 



The southern Easterners have far fewer kaiaks than the people 

 of Angmagsalik, viz., not more than the southernmost Westerners. 

 This is, however, solely a consequence of the great number of 

 women there; for not only all the men, but actually two women, 

 have a kaiak. It will be seen then, that, though the southern 

 Easterners are in quite an abnormal position with regard to the 

 number of women per man, they have just as many -kaiaks and 

 far more umiaks than the southernmost Westerners, and besides 

 the}^ have dog-sledges, which, as we know, are not found in the 

 southern districts on the West coast. 



It will be gathered from the foregoing that the Easterners are 

 far better-off in these respects than the Westerners.
