line at the Point of Arches seaward in two parallel lines to a dis- 

 tance of about a half a mile. They are conglomerate in formation 

 and the oldest rocks in age along the Pacific coast of Washington. 

 They comprise about thirty under-cut and arched shafts and blocks, 

 They stand out in bold and rugged outline. Bird colonies appear 

 only on the western and northwestern members of the group, being 

 densest in bird population on "Silversides." 



Father _and Son are two islands rising from the same base, 150 

 feet and 30 feet in height, respectively. They are situated in lon- 

 gitude 125° 43' west. They are off shore about one-half mile. The 

 two together comprise about a half acre in area. They are guano- 

 covered shafts, with practically no vegetation. 



Flattery Rocks proper are four islands of 200 feet in height just 

 off shore at high tide ; at least the easternmost one is connected 

 with the mainland by a very rocky peninsula at low tide. They run 

 in a west-northwest line from the Ozette Indian village; longitude 

 124° 45' 6", latitude 48° 10' 45" north. In total area they may be 

 said to aggregate some thirty acres. The two nearest the shore are 

 wooded, but the two others are steep-walled and barren. It is on 

 these that the birds nest. 



QUILLAYUTE NEEDLES RESERVATION. 



The islands of the Quillayute Needles reservation, beginning at 

 the north limit are : White Rock, the Jagged islet-Carrol islet 

 group. Cape Johnson group, Doh-od-a-a-luh, Cake Rock, the James 

 island group, Quillayute Needles proper, the Giants' Graveyard, 

 Round islet, Alexander island. North Rock, and Destruction island. 



White Rock, called "Peechwah" by the Indians, is located in 

 longitude 124° 43' 20" west, latitude 48° 8' 10" north. It is about 

 140 feet in height. Its walls are abrupt, though scalable. Its 

 grass-covered top aggregates probably half an acre. 



Carrol islet is called by the Indians "Habaaht-aylash." It is 

 about two miles north from Jagged islet, to which group it belongs. 

 It is located in longitude 124° 43' 30", latitude 48° 10'. It is a huge 

 island, covered with giant trees and underbrush, while projecting 

 cliffs and benches add to making it an ideal bird home. In eleva- 

 tion it exceeds 250 feet, and in area it aggregates 15 acres. It is a 

 bird paradise. 



Paahwooke is an inaccessible pinnacle of 125 feet in height, lo- 

 cated about a hundred yards nearly west of Carrol islet. 



Jagged islet is an islet in the middle stages of decay. Its 

 central-eastern part reaches an elevation of some 70 feet. It is 

 barren of vegetation, but its fantastically eroded sandstone makes up
