 of the ai>plication of the name are now rather vague. Veniammof, the 

 best authority of his time, writing in 1840, says the islands lying between 

 Amukta and Alaska peninsula, together with the islands near the penin-

 Probably named Leesy (fox) by early Russian fur traders. They are Fox 

 or Andreanof islands of Langsdorf, lies aux Renards of Lutke, etc. The

 islands. The Coast Survey now restricts this name Fox to include only 

 Unimak, Unalaska, and Umnak with their various associated islands.
