Umnak ftretches from S.W.toN. E. ; it is 150 verfls 

 in length, and has a very confiderable bay on the Weft 

 end of the Northern coaft, in which there is a frnall 

 illand or rock, called Adugak ; and on the South fide is 

 Shemalga, another rock. The Weftern point of Aghun- 

 alaflika, or Unalaflika, is feparated' from the Eaft end of 

 Umnak by a ftrait near 20 verfts in breadth. The pofi- 

 tion of thefe two iflands is fimilar ; but Aghunalaflika 

 is much the largeft, and is above 200 verfts long. It is 

 divided towards the N. E. into, three promontories, one 

 of which runs out in a Wefterly diredtion, forming one 

 fide of a large bay on the North coaft of the ifland : 

 the fecond ftretches out N. E. ends in three points, and 

 is conne(^ed with the ifland by a fmall neck of land. 

 The third or moft Southerly one is feparated from the 

 laft mentioned promontory by a deep bay. Near Una- 

 laflika towards the Eaft lies another fmall ifland called 

 Skirkin. 



About 20 verfts from the North Eaft promontory of 

 Aghunalaflika lie four iflands : the firft, Akutan, is 

 about half as big as Umnak ; a verft further is the fmall 

 ifland Akun ; a little beyond is Akunok ; and laftly Ki- 

 galga, which is the fmalleft of thefe four, and ftretches 

 with Akun and Akunok almoft from N. to S. Kigalga 

 is fituated about the 6ift degree of latitude. About
