On June 15 after a week’s work about Cordova Bay we 
departed for Hawkins Island. Late in the afternoon of the 
16th we arrived at the north entrance of Canoe Passage and 
made an anchorage behind the protecting arm of a long gravel 
spit on the west side of the passage. Finding this place unfa- 
vorable for a camp, we sailed across the Passage on the fol- 
lowing morning and established a camp on a small sand-spit 
on the east shore. 
Our stay at Hawkins Island was brought to a close on June 
24 by our departure for Hinchinbrook Island. We got away 
at noon on the ebb tide, which shot us out of the narrow passage 
at the speed of a millrace. A light wind picked us up after 
we got clear of the reefs guarding the entrance. As we sailed 
along the shore of the western section of Hawkins Island, a 
good view of the checker-board effect due to the interchange of 
the forest and tundra areas of the island was obtained. Late 
in the afternoon we entered a bay at the northeast point of 
Hinchinbrook and east anchor. Here we were welcomed by a 
swarm of gnats and mosquitoes with an intensity very much 
beyond that displayed by these insects at previous camps. After 
a few hours of inspection we located camp on a sand-spit at 
the mouth of a large creek. As this bay had been left unchris- 
tened by the Coast Survey we bestowed on it the name of North- 
east Bay, in order to fix a definite locality to the specimens 
collected here. (See map, plate 32.) 
The morning of July 4 found us under way headed for 
Zaikof Bay, Montague Island, where we made camp on a small 
sand-spit on the south shore at the head of the bay. Both 
shores of Zaikof Bay were heavily forested, both of the capes 
being low, flat extensions covered by trees. 
At noon on the 12th we broke camp for Green Island, some 
twenty miles west. <A light breeze took us out to the mouth of 
the bay and westward as far as Montague Point, where we were 
left in a calm among the kelp beds. Near the head of the bay 
on the north shore low bluffs oceur, the formation being verti- 
eally bedded strata of eraywacke and slate, the softer layers 
of which have been eroded, leaving picturesque columns or bold 
buttresses projecting out into the water. At Montague Point
