an ancient village-site of subsequent occupation. 2. On the ^yestel•n shores 

 of Saranna Bay. We were informed of similar deposits on Massacre Bay, 

 and two other localities on the western and southern shores of Attu. 



Agattu Island. — We were informed that some old village-sites exist on 

 this island, which was inhabited at the time of its discovery. 



Kyska Island. — On the south shore of Kyska Harbor, near a small 

 portage, is a rather modern shell-heap. A modern village-site exists at the 

 west end of the harbor, and one, quite extensive, on the bay on the west 

 side of the island, opposite the harbor. 



Little Kyska Island. — Afforded no evidences of shell-heaps. 



Amcliitka Island. — A flat and low island abounding with birds. Shell- 

 heaps excessively abundant wherever a convenient cove presented a good 

 site. A large settlement at the head of Constantino Harbor; another, 

 smaller and apparently more modern, on the eastern shore of the harbor. 

 Numerous large village-sites on the north shores of the island, west to 

 Kiriloff settlement, the latter being quite modern, and abandoned in 1849. 

 On the south shore, very extensive evidences of settlement, and a large 

 resident population. 



Adahh Island. — Near the Bay of Islands were several small village- 

 sites on shell-heaps, and this island is said at one time to have been very 

 populous. 



Atka Island. — At Nazan Bay, only comparatively modern Ijiu'ial-jilaces, 

 rock-shelters, and a village-site were noticed. On Korovin Bay, there are 

 several village-sites, but no old shell-heaps were seen. 



Amlia Island. — Said to have numerous old village-sites. 



Islands of the Four Craters. — Were in comparatively modern times 

 occupied by a considerable population, esjiecially on Kagamil, but no shell- 

 heaps are reported, and the former activity of the volcanoes, not yet quiet, 

 would hardly have invited early settlement. 



Umnak Island. — Extensive evidences of early settlements and numerous 

 village-sites reported. 



Unahshka Island. — On this and the adjoining islets, on every practi- 

 cable site, shell-heaps or village-sites are to be found, with numerous more
