Abstract
DR. TREBITSCH gives a very readable and capitally illustrated account of his twelve weeks' journey in western Greenland. Considering how large was the distance covered in this short time, it is creditable to him how much information was collected. West Greenland, between 73°N. lat., and Cape Farewell, is in the possession of Denmark. The entire trade is in the hands of the Kgl. gronlandischen Handel, a Government concern, somewhat similar to our old East India Company, and there are stringent regulations to prevent intrusion by other Powers. Travellers must have a valid pretext for going, must undergo medical inspection, and are not allowed to take intoxicants into the country. Bei den Eskimos in Westgronland. Ergebnisse einer Sommerreise im Janre, 1906. By Dr. R. Trebitsch. Nebst einem ethnologischen Anhang, von Dr. M. Haberlandt. Pp. xxiii + 162 + map. (Berlin: Dietrich Reimer (Ernst Vohsen), 1910.) Price 8 marks.
