MERRIAM 



In 1887, according to Greenfield's sketch (fig. 21), the 

 south or southeast spit remained essentially as in 1884, 

 and the drawing appears to show also a beach or spit on 

 the east side. 



In 1890, judging from the photographs taken by the U. 

 S. Fish Commission steamer 'Albatross' (figs. 12 and 

 14), the southeast spit continued and the east spit had be- 

 come well established. The photograph from the south- 

 east (fig. 12) shows the high base of the east spit, but 

 owing to the presence behind it of the north spit, connect- 

 ing it with the new volcano, its extent cannot be deter- 

 mined. 



In 1891, as seen from the 'Albatross' when at anchor 

 just east of the new volcano, the east and south spits ap-

peared as one long, broad beach, rising abruptly in a ter- 

 race about midway of its length (fig. 35). 



In 1895, as shown in Purington's photograph from New 

 Bogoslof (fig. 27), which is a nearer view than fig. 35 and 

 from a point slightly farther west, the conditions remained 

 the same, and are more clearly shown. Another photo- 

 graph made the same day (fig. 7) shows that the east spit 

 began exactly at the base of the north cliff.
