Jan., 1915 of Audubon Societies. The field-work extended from May 16 until August 9 of the same year. Geographically this archipelago lies thirteen miles to the southeast of Dall Island, the waters surging through Dixon Entrance rush past its shores, and the southeastern Alaskan boundary line barely clears the rocky islets fringing its southernmost extremity. The main island measures

approximately four and one-half miles in length by one in greatest width, and to the north and south is separated by comparatively narrow, tide-swept channels from several other islands. Two of the latter, Lawrie and South, are fully one-third of a mile in greatest diameter, and support a fairly heavy and varied growth of trees and shrubs.
