ll>e chart represents Danmarks Fjord, Hagens Fjord and Independence 

 Bay with the neighbouring land (see Meddelelser om Grönland, Bd. 

 XLVI, No. 2, PI. IV). 



If we compare Ihe names on Plates IV and V, however, with the 

 names on the published chart, we find several differences. 



These differences arose from the desire of the surviving members 

 of the Danmark Espedition, when they became certain of Mylius- 

 Erichsen's fate, to give the northernmost land visited by him his 

 name. For this reason the name "Kronprins Christian Land" had 

 to be moved. Thus, the land east of Danmarks Fjord received this 

 name and the Alexandrine Mountains must naturally also lie here '. 

 That the "Jydske Aas" should be at the same time moved over to 

 Mylius-Erichsen's Land, is also easily understood, as Mylius-Erich- 

 SEN was himself from Jutland and has sung its praises both in prose 

 and verse. 



Further, Koch did not wish his name to be used for the regions 

 traversed by him and J. P. Koch's Bay was therefore renamed Wan- 

 dels Hav. 



The other small differences are of no importance. 



Finally, there are some discrepancies between the names and 

 the places of the names on Plates IV and V. As PI. IV, however, is 

 the one most carefully executed and has undoubtedly been drawn 

 last, Plate 1\' has been followed, apart from the above-mentioned 

 exceptions. 



PI. VI represents a drawing of the east side of Danmarks Fjoril 

 from north to south, made from tlic toji of a hill ca. 5 kilometers south 

 of Gundersteddal. 



Above the drawing is written "Station top between Elvkloft and 

 Spids Top on Nordlandet", and on PL V "Spids Top" and the" survey 

 station" itself are indicated. 



As Høeg Hagen was at that time of opinion, that they found 

 themselves in Independence Bay, it is not to be wondered at that he 

 called it a drawing of 'the continental coast", being in the belief, 

 that he was on Peary Land. 



PI. VII HoEG Hagen calls a drawing of "Elvkloft on Nordlandet". 



As Høeg Hagen states, that PI. VI has been drawn from the 

 top of a hill between Spids Top and Elvkloft on Nordlandet and it is 

 seen from PI. V, that this top lies between Spids Top and Gunder- 

 steddal, it is most probable that PI. VII actually represents Gunder- 

 steddal. 



PI. VIII according to Hagen has been drawn on May 29th 

 from the tent-place near an iceberg in Independence Bay and re- 

 presents the entrance to a bay. As PI. V shows an iceberg 



' Alexandrine, the name of the former Crown Princess, now ttie Queen.
