162 Dawson, Bird Colonies of the Olympiades. [April 



The James Island Group. 



Loc. — Opposite La Push, connected with shore at low tide. 



James Island is the ancestral fortress of the Quillayute Indians now resi- 

 dent at La Push. It is heavily timbered except on the eastern end, which 

 is given over to gardening; but its abrupt sides support several small colon- 

 ies of Baird Cormorants. Of the associated rock masses recently disrupted 

 from James only one, Kohchaa(uh), carries an extensive colony of Baird 

 Cormorants, say 200, with associated Glaucous-winged Gulls. A pair of 

 Peale Falcons tyrannize over this group, and rears its young midway of 

 one of the steepest walls.
