Notes. — * ©) ‘depart’, i. e. perhaps out in life, another way of saying ‘he

Pergitag. 
Near the coast live two trolls of the Koopajeeq people; the great “Dig- 
ger up of the Earth” and his wife. One day they discover that a poor little 
boy of the Inuit people has fled over to their house. The child soon realizes 
that he has come to canibals, that the children of the Koopajeeq are being

No. 222. Koopajeeq III. 
Qiwinalaaq. 
This tale about the troll-woman who drinks till she burst is also known 
from West Greenland where, in 1901, I was given a variant of the same story 
from Disko. 
The content of the story is briefly as follows: The parents have buried 
their child, but shortly after they find the grave empty. The body must 
have been stolen. The father conceals himself in the grave, and during the
