1. EDITORIAL REMARKS.
Since the former Volume was written, the author’s sources have
been augmented by the following publications:
G. Holm: Den østgrønlandske Expedition 1883—85 (Second Part,
comprising Ethnology).
F. Boas: The Central Eskimo. Washington 1889.
H. Abbes: Die Eskimos des Cumberlandgolfs.
Roger Wells, Ensign, and John W. Kelly: English-Eskimo and
Eskimo-English Vocabularies, preceded by Ethnographical
Memoranda. Washington 1890.
Fr. Erdmann: Eskimoisches Worterbuch. Zweiter Theil. Budissin
1866,

not be made use of in this way as amply as they deserved.
The same necessity of economising in regard to space has
also required the linguistical explanations to be made more
compendious than the author had intended. In turning up in the
Vocabulary and for this purpose applying to the Index, it is supposed
that the lists of affixes and stemwords in Vol. I are at hand. As
for the rest the necessary directions are given in p. 34 and 98. It
might only be repeated here, that in order to simplify the text the
flexional forms of the Eskimo word and its English translation are
not always congruent. As to verbs f. i. the forms: he does, to do
and doing, may be found in the Vocabulary rendered by the same
standard form: he does (ending: poq, voq, aoq, or including an
object: pâ, vâ, â), although the infinitive may as well be
represented in Eskimo (lune, lugo, and the affix neq). In the same way
the English adjective (f. i. large) may be found rendered by a
