BAKER.] 63 Ado— Aga. 



Adolphus; point, on northern shore of Chichagof island, Icy strait, Alexander 

 archipelago. So named by Vancouver in 1794. Has also been called 

 Adolph point on some charts. 



Adugak; islet, north of the west end of Umnak, eastern Aleutians. Native name 

 from Veniaminof. Has been written Adougakh. Perhaps from the Aleut 

 Adudak, rather long. 



Aektok; island, near west end of Avatanak island, Krenitzin group, eastern Aleu- 

 tians. Native name, spelled Aiaktak by Veniaminof and Aektok by 

 Lutke and Tebenkof. Also called Goloi (bare) by the Ru.«sians. Krusen- 

 stern spells itOuektock, while the Fish Commission, 1888, calls it Rootok. 

 Also has been called Goly. Apparently identical with Aiaiepta of Krenit- 

 zen and Levashef in 1768. This island has been reserved for light-house 

 purposes by Executive order dated January 4, 1901. In that order it is 

 called Rootok island. The spelling Rootok apparently arose accidentally 

 from Aooktok. 



Affleck; canal, indenting southern shore of Kuiu island, Alexander archipelago. 

 Named Affleck's channel by Vancouver, in 1793, after Admiral Affleck, R. N. 



Aiognak; bay, indenting the southwestern coast of Afognak island, Kodiak group. 

 So called by Tebenkof, 1849. 



Ajofjnak; cape, the norilwrnmo.^t point of Afognak islrnd, Kodiak group. So 

 JU called on the Russian American Company's map of 1849. Tebenkof the 



tP same year uses the name Sievernoi (north). 



Afognak; cape, the soulhernmtm point of Afognak island, Kodiak group. So 

 called by Murashef, 1839-40. 



Afog-nak;' forest and fish culture reserve. The island of Afognak was by proclama- . 

 tion of President Harrison dated December 24, 1892, set apart as a forest 

 and fish culture reserve. 



Afog'nak; island, northeast of Kodiak, and, after Kodiak, the largest in the Kodiak 

 group. Native name, which Coxe, 1780, wrote Afagnak and Afagnack. 

 Portlock, 1786, calls it Kodiac. Vancouver speaks of the land "which 

 the Russians call Fogniak." Langsdorf has Aphoknak and Appoknak. 

 By error it has been called Afgonak. The form Afognak is well estab- 

 lished by usage. 



Afognak; river, in western part of Afognak island, triljutary to Afognak bay. So 

 called by :Murashef, 1839-tO. 



Afognak; village, or row of scattered dwellings, on shore of Afognak bay, in south- 

 western part of Afognak island. Population in 1890, 409. In the Eleventh 

 Census, 1890, pp. 73-74, it is stated that " Afognak village * * * really 

 consists of a series of settlements lining the long curving beach. * * * 

 The Creole \illage of Afognak extends in a single row of dwellings, some- 

 what widely scattered, about three-fourths of a mile along the beach. 

 This settlement was founded during the first quarter of the present cen- 

 tury under the name of Rutkovsky village liy superannuated and pen- 

 sioned employes of the Russian American Company." Rutkovsky, in 

 the passage just cited seems to be an error. Tebenkof (Ch. XXIII) has 

 Rubertz and the Russian American Company's map, 1848, Rubtzovskaia. 



Agadak, island; see Rat. 



Agaiak; islet, in Krestof sound, north of Sitka sound, Alexander archipelago.

Agamgik; bay, indenting the northern shore of Beaver lay, Unalaska island, east- 

 ern Aleutians. Aleut name, from Sarichef 1790. Called Food bay by the 

 Fish Commission in 1888. Veniaminof writes it Agamgik.
