 Dease inlet. Its supposed P'skimo name Ik-pik-pung was iniblished by 

 the Coast Survey in 1884. Has also been written Ikpikpung. Is also 

 called the Chepp or Ik-pik-})uk on United States Hydrographii- chart 1189, 

 pu1)lished in 1890. I have assumed that it was named, about 1890, by the 

 Hydrographic Office after Lieut. Charles W. Chipp, U. S. N., who perished 

 in the ill-fated De Long expedition ii\ the Lena delta, November, 1881. 



Chirikqf; bay, the south end of Chatham strait (Christian sound of Colnett in 1789),

 distinguished Russian navigator, who visited this part of the coast in 

 1 741 . Name obsolete. See Chatham strait.

Chirikof; island, southwest of Kodiak. Usually called Ukamok or Chirikof island 

 and spelled most diversely. Ukamok is said to be a native name of the 

 marmot, but this is not verified. The island appears to be the Tumannoi 

 (foggy) island of Bering in 1741. Cook so identified it in 1778. Sarichef, 

 according to Saner, called it Elkamok and Vancouver, in 1794, in honor of 

 Bering's companion, Capt. Alexie Chirikof, called it Tscherikow's island. 

 It is variously written Akamok, Ookamok, Oukamok, Ukamok, and 

 Ugamok, while Chirikof appears variously as Chirikoff, Chirikov, 

 Tchirikoff, Tscherikow, Tscliirikoff, etc. 



Chisana; mountain (3.200 feet high), on left bank of the Tanana, near Tetling 

 river. Name from Peters and Brooks, 1898, who report it to be an Indian

Chisana; river, tril)utary to the Tanana, near its headwaters. Native name, from 

 Allen, who wrote it Chisana, i.e., Chisa river. Has since been written 

 Chusana. Identity of this river is doubtful.

 text Chasik. Commonly now called Chisik. Has been printed Chisick. 



ChislrrJiiii'i, river; see Chistochina. 



Chistiakof; island, in Heiden 1)ay, on north shore of Alaska peninsula. Named

 of the Geological Survey, Chistochina represents local usage.
