Nos. 258—259. Songs of Lamentation from Ikigait and Tasermiut. 
Hendrik Lund. 
These two songs were written down for me by HENDRIK LuND at Syd- 
preven. They possess something of the same elegiac character as the fore- 
going song which Lund also knew and sang into my phonograph; they are 
from practically the same vicinity. To both of them he had put down the 
melodies as well as he was able from his knowledge of printed notes as 
he was in the habit of playing hymns to his congregation. 
Note in the text both the lengthened vowels and the clipped endings; 
the clipping at the end of a verse is due to the form of the melody, f. inst. 
-wa'r instead of -wara; -ne'rm instead of -nermik.
