 latitude. 



The Fox Iflands are fituated E. N. E. from the Aleii- S'i'^'"' 

 tians : the neareft of thefe, Atchak, is about 800 verfts 

 diftant; it lies in about 56 degrees North latitude, and ex- 

 tends from W. S. W. towards E. N. E. It greatly re- 

 fembles Copper Ifland, and is provided with a commo- 

 dious harbour on the Notrh. From thence all the 

 other iflands of this chain ftretch in a direction towards 

 N. E. by Eaft. 



The next to Atchak is Amlak, about 15 verfts diftant; 

 it is nearly of the fame fize ; and has an harbour 

 on its South ftde. Next follows Sagaugamak, at about 

 the fame diftance, but fomewhat fmaller ; from that it 

 is 50 verfts to Amuchta, a fmall rocky ifland ; and the 

 fame diftance from the latter to Yunakfan, another fmall 

 ifland. About 20 verfts from Yunakfan there is a cluftcr 

 of five fmall iflands, or rather mountains, Kigalgift, 

 Kagamila, Tfigulak, Ulaga, and Tana-Unok, and which 

 are therefore called by the Rufllans Pat Sopki, or the 

 Five Mountains. Of thefe Tana-Unok lies moft to the 

 N. E. towards which the Weftern point of Umnak ad- 

 vances within the diftance of 20 verfts.
