Carroll Islet. 



Indian name, Habaaht-aylch, 



Loc— Lat. 48° 10" N.; Long. 124° 43' 30"; offshore about 2 miles. 



Area. — Ten to fifteen acres. 



Desc. — The gem of the Olympiades! A high, rounded mass of sand- 

 stone, tree-crowned (20-30 spruces), and with sides chiefly precipitous. 

 The crest is covered also with a dense growth of elder-berry, salmon-berry, 

 and salal brush, while the upper slopes N. and E. are covered with lux- 

 uriant gra.sses. The elevation is nearly 250 feet, and the extraordinary 

 variety of cover attracts every bird known to breed along this coast, save 

 the Rhinoceros Auklet and the Brandt Cormorant, and the latter may be 

 seen from the western crest of Carroll, as it nests on the outlying pinnacle, 

 Paahwoke'-it.
