Notes to G. Holms Collection of Legends and Talcs from Angmagsalik. 315 



21. The dog that carried off girls. 



This lale of the dog thai robbed girls, is, as far as I am aware, 

 not known from other places. 



22. Navagijak. 



This story of a man who, in the form of a seal, migrated through 

 л^arious sea animals and ended by being caught and born anew as 

 a man, is well-known on the West coast T. T. 197 (E. S. 145. 

 Avigiatsiak) and also in Baffin's Land. 



23. The girl who went across the inland ice to the West coast. 



There exists a story of a girl who came from the East coast to 

 the West coast, but it has certainly no connection with the present tale. 



24. The wife who lost consciousness. 



The state described stands mid-way between the spiritual flight 

 •of the angekok, and the migration of souls of men in general from 

 the body. A somewhat similar, but not identical, tale, is found in 

 T. T. 124 (E. S. Spl. 45). 



25. The two kaiakers who were helped by magic charms. 

 Several of its elements are known. 



26. A tale about a big worm. 



27. The pursued angakok. 



28. Karrak. 



29. A Tupilek story. 



Like no. 25, these tales contains well-known elements, but are 

 otherwise new. 



30. A true story from Angmagsalik about the Moon, and 



31. A Moon story. 



These tales, no doubt, present certain resemblances with the 

 well-known legends of the intercourse between human beings and 

 the moon, but they differ widelj^ from them in substance. As far as 

 I am aware, the western legends contain nothing as to the exchange 

 of wives. 



32. The visit of the two angakut to the murderers. 



With regard to the disappearance of the men, see above, no. 11; 

 -with regard to the point as to the murderers flaying their own 

 relative by mistake, see T. T. 16, pag. 166 (E. S. 22, pag. 103).
