Eskimos from their fall caribou hunt.
These were caught in a small un-
charted lake a short distance inland
from Advance Bay, Greenland, in lat.
79°8' N., just south of Humboldt-
glacier. The fins have become
somewhat damaged by spring trans-
portation in a frozen condition,
but these fish come from the northern
locality thus far reported
in Greenland itself and they are
preserved for identification.

womb of seal killed through the ice
of Bancroft Bay Greenland, on 15-

Spec. 700. Decapod (squid or cuttle
fish) collected by Accommodingah
on the beach at head of Tonneke Fjord
on 11 (or 10?) September and brought
in for Panikha. Placed first in
50% alcohol, later strengthened
to 80% alcohol in which it grows.
