Somewhat further to the west of Karsok, and about 50 feet higher up, occurs another similar stratum, containing a mass of graphite, so soft that it may be cut with a knife. This spot was not, however, accurately examined. A similar stratum of graphite imbedded in sand and clay occurs also at a very great height above the sea at Niakornet, but time did not admit of our visiting that spot.

page 455 note 1 Rink mentions paths still remaining in districts uninhabited since the time of the old Northmen colonists, and we ourselves could clearly distinguish at Kaja the paths round the long deserted house-sites there.
page 455 note 2 The remarkably slight effect which the eruptive rock has produced on the surrounding layers of sand astonished Mr. Brown.

page 456 note 1 Mean of several observations made in the ravine along the side of which I ascended this slope. Brown gives E. and W. as the direction. The difference probably arises from the circumstance that the magnetic perturbations at Atanekerdluk are of a local nature, and thus different in diiferent ravines.
page 457 note 1 Dr. Nauckhoff's and Dr. Pfaff's discovery of Sigillaria makes it possible that the Coal strata of the Coal formation occur at Ujarasusuk.
page 460 note 1 In this neighbourhood we even meet with sand layers lying beneath the basalt.
