33. A visit to the dwellers in Akilinek. 

 Must be considered as hitherto unknown. 



34. The Man-in-the-Moon and Erkingasek. 



What is told here about the Man-in-the-Moon and his house 

 agrees well with the Western ideas on the subject. This is also the 

 case with the angakok's journey to the moon. The Western anga- 

 kut have also their Erkungasok, the ideas about him differ on the 

 East and West coast, but also vary on the West coast itself. The 

 tale as a whole seems to correspond to the Western tales. 



35. Ariagsuak. 

 Agrees entirely with Ariagsuak, E. S. Spl.51. 



36. Musatak. 

 Unknown. 



37. The long-tailed duck and the white grouse. 



This tale reminds one of the fables or animal conversations 

 which are told, or rather, sung in Baffin's Land, but as to which 

 but little has been heard from West Greenland. 



38. The Reindeer and 'Parpaligamik Uniakagtalik\ 

 'The animal with the iron tail'. 



39. Reindeer, musk-oxen, hares, and 'the animals with iron tails'. 

 Unknown. 



40. Nukarpiartekak. 

 Several similar stories exist. 



41. The old bachelor and the Kobajak child. 



42. Sieterevarsusuak and Kobaluarsusuak. 



43. The man who ate his own child. 



44. The folks who by mistake ate their own brother. 



45. A tale about a famine. 



For the moment, I cannot remember having come across any- 

 thing corresponding to these tales. It is possible, however, that 

 something of the kind may yet be found among the fairly numerous 

 records I received; these, however, were so fragmentary and un- 

 intelligible that I could not use them in the printed collection.
