The following is a general survey of the names of the 

 most important places in and around thetmanak [Oommannaq) 

 Fjord (71° N. Lat.i, which we come to next on proceeding to- 

 ward the south. Most of these names do not so much belong 

 merely to single points (cliffs) as to whole expanses of shore 

 or parts of the land, even if the origin of the name may 

 indicate that a single more limited locality was the starting- 

 point. I begin at the northernmost entrance to the fjord and 

 proceed toward the inner end and then along the southern 

 shore out to the southern entrance, including as 1 proceed 

 the nearest islands.
