The Runic inscriptions, which were discovered in the autumn of the year 1824, contain, according to Rask and Finn Magnusen, the 62 THE ICELANDIC DISCOVERERS OF AMERICA ; date 1135. From this eastern coast of Baffin s Bay, more than six hundred years before the bold expeditions of Parry and Koss, the colonists very regularly visited Lancaster Sound and a part of Barrow s Straits for the purpose of fishing. The locality of the fishing-ground is very definitely described, and Greenland priests fro...m the bishopric of Gardar conducted the first voyage of discovery (1266). This north- western summer station was called Kroksfjardar Heath. Mention is even made of the drift wood (undoubtedly from Siberia) collected there, and of the abundance of whales, seals, walruses, and sea-bears. " Baron von Humboldt has asserted that the merit of first recognizing the discovery of America by the Northmen Icltmgs indisputably to Ortelius. The work in which this credit is given the Northmen, the " Theatrum Orbis Terrarum, " is a superb illuminated volume, of which the translation was printed in London in 1606; the author s preface is dated Antwerp, 1570.
