the lashing; to the least detail it resembles the specimen from Mitimatalik Pl. 39.1. The other two specimens are smaller, but broken; one of them has two pairs of holes for the lashing; but on the face opposite to the shaft socket these two holes are connected two and two by longitudinal grooves, and not as usual by transversal grooves.

Pl. 82.2 (P 12.5) is a harpoon head of Thule type 3 with two pairs of holes for the lashing, a rivet hole for the blade and powerful ornamental remnants of side blades, like those from Naujan (fig. 13). The other specimens of this type are smaller (8.6 and 10.2 cm long respectively); both have a rivet hole; one has slots, the other two pairs of holes for the lashing.

Pl. 82.3 (P 12.215) is a harpoon head of Cape Dorset type (like Jenness 1925, fig. 4 g and 7 n and o); it is rather defective. There have been two line holes at the same height, a blade inserted at right angles to them, two lateral spurs and a narrow, rectangular shaft socket. The blade socket is fairly wide and the blade has been held in by a lashing through a cut hole and a groove.

Fore shaft for ice-hunting harpoon. About 10 cm long, cut obliquely at the rear end, round at the fore end, pointed. As the fore end is broken, however, classification is uncertain.

Finger rests. Two specimens, both of whalebone and of about the same shape. Pl. 82.14 (P 12.60) has two holes for the lashing; the other, which has only one hole and is a little heavier, has a semi-circular cut in the fore end and, on one side, an ornamental double line with alternating cross lines.

Ice picks. Nine specimens, four of which, however, are unfinished, defective or doubtful. Pl. 83.1 (P 12.139 b) is the longest of them, rather flat, with a hole to support the lashing. The others vary in length from 14½ to 20 cm; some of them are flat, others round; two have similar holes, the other lashing notches in the shaft end.

Bone blades for lances etc. Two bone blades are presumably for lances, possibly caribou lances; one, of caribou leg bone, 9.4 cm long, 1.8 broad, with tang, is possibly for an arrow, however; the other, of bear bone, is 7.9 cm long, 2.5 broad, roughly shaped and broken at the shaft end, where there are two notches.

Harpoon shaft. A rather flat shaft of whalebone, 19 cm long, 2.5 broad, is broken at one end at a hole, whilst the other end has an oblique scarf face; on one side-surface near one edge is a longitudinal groove.

Handle for drag line. Pl. 82.16 (P 12.54) resembles in shape the
