Chigrinagak; bay and mountain, on southern coast of Alaska peninsula, north of 

 the Semidis. Native name, reported by Vasilief in 1831-32. Usually 

 spelled as above. Has been written Tchighinagak and, erroneously, 

 Tiginagak. 



Chigmit. Grewingk, 1849, applies the name Tschigmit to the high range of moun- 

 tains between Cook inlet and the Kuskokwim river. Dall, 1869, calls this 

 the Alaskan range, and says the portion of them immediately northwest 

 of Cook inlet has been termed Chigmit mountains on some maps. A map 

 made by the United States Land Office in 1869 calls the southwestern part 

 of the Alaskan range Chigmit mountains and the northeastern pan Beaver 

 mountains. Eldridge, 1898, adopts the name Chigmit for a range west of 

 Cook inlet, in which are the volcanoes Iliamna and Redoubt. See also 

 Ala^ska, range of mountains. 



Chignik; liay, on the south shore of Alaska peninsula. Probably a native name. 

 From the Russians. Also, erroneously, Tiznik.

 lished by the Fish Commission in 1899.

Chikalari. Grewingk, following Wosnesenski, 1840, gives Tschichkaliinsk or 

 Tschichkiin Tan as the native name of a point on the eastern shore of 

 Cook inlet just south of Kenai. Name apparently obsolete. 



Chjlcat; see Chilkat. 



Chilcoot; see Chilkoot.

Chilga. An island of this name between Adak and Great Sitkin, middle Aleutians, 

 is mentioned by Lutke. Not identified.

 islands constituting the group are Alzane, Katagiine, Nechrajg, and Schi- 

 kossean. 



Chilkat; inlet, at head of Lynn canal, Alexander archipelago. Name of a native 

 triV)e obtained by the Russians and first applied to the inlet by United 

 States naval oflBcers in 1880. It has had various spellings, Chilcat being 

 most common. Also written Chilkaht, Tchillkat, T'silkat, etc. The 

 native word is a difficult one for an American to spell or pronounce. 

 Perhaps Tsl-kaht pronounced explosively is as near as it can be rendered.
