Dixon Entrance; a broad open sound or strait, between the Columbian and Alexan- 

 der archipelagoes, through which passes the southern boundary line 

 between British Columbia and Alaska. It has been variously called an 

 inlet, channel, strait, sound, and entrance. Usage seems to have settled 

 upon the above name. Dixon Entrance was discovered by the Spaniards, 

 in 1774, and called Entrada de Perez. Dixon, in 1787, visited it and named 

 it, after himself, Dixon's straits, the name being applied to the waters 

 east and north of Queen Charlotte islands. Meares at about the same 

 time named it Douglass entrance, after Capt. William Douglass (or Douglas) 

 who commanded his consort ship the packet-boat Iphigenia ( Nubiana) . 

 To its northeastern part he applied the name Buccleugh sound, which he 

 also spelled Bucclugh. The Russians have called it Granitsa (boundary) 

 strait, whence we find Dixon entrance or Granitsa channel and Graenz 

 strasse. Tebenkof, using the native name, has Kaigani strait.
