Transcription Notes:
Comment from the Transcription Team: It is more challenging to key in special characters, so our instruction ask you not to worry too much about them, just do the best you can. However, when one is able to produce the special characters, we welcome them. As long as the characters look right, we can leave them in place. Thank you. Transcription Center Team For the circumpunct ? use [[sun symbol] not just [[symbol]]. believe tarrioarctun means open sea. Edited: per instructions replaced symbols with text, corrected or clarified some words, other general format, deleted end of page on 2nd sheet not required in instructions crossing the ice fissures: p. 547 in Hall's book.
