Chowiet; island (1,200 feet high), one of the largest of the Semidi group. Native 

 name, obtained by Dall, in 1874, and spelled at first Chowee-et. This and 

 Aghiyuk are of about equal size and are the two largest islands of the 

 group. Billings speaks of "Evdokeeff, the largest Siniedan," and Lutke 

 also says "Semidin, the largest of the Evdokeevskies." This name, 

 , applicable to either, probably refers to Aghiyuk.

 ing from a glacier southward to the Tahini river (of their map), which in 

 turn debouches into the Chilkat river. They write it Chraalch.
