 hunting-grounds and constructed of turf. These huts dispense 

 with the long entrance-passage and have small windows of 

 gut-skin. Sometimes they sleep out of doors merely under a 

 reindeer-skin fastened to a cliff and continue the expedition 

 farther in the next morning. Besides they also carry tents 

 with them which they use at fitting times and places.

The following are the names of some of the places where the 

 Nia)'qor)iarsuk-û\\e\\eTS dance in the summer by the hunting- 

 grounds, and where they often meet with other Greenlanders

 learned from the Danish seamen and (in earlier times) from 

 Dutch whale-fishers.
