Saint Lawrence; large island, in the northern part of Bering sea. Discovered 

 by Bering on St. Lawrence day, August f^^, 1728, and named by him 

 St. Lawrence. Muller (Voyages, 1761, p. 3) says: "They heard of an 

 island which was said to lie somewhat farther, at no great distance from 

 the continent; to this they gave the name of St. Lawrence, on account of 

 its being the 10th of August, that vsaint's day, when they passed by it, 

 without observing anything upon it besides cottages of fishermen." By 

 early Russians also called Sind, after Lieutenant Sind, who jiassed some- 

 where near it in 1766. Cook passed east of this island in 1778 and his 

 expedition to the west of it in 1779. Its eastern end he named Anderson 

 island, after Dr. William Anderson, surgeon on the Dincnrcrij, on the sup- 

 position that it was a separate island. Later, according to Beechey, he 

 found that it was part of what we now call St. Lawrence island, but owing 

 to his death the correction was not made in his published account. The 

 main body of the island Cook called Gierke's island, after Capt. Charles 

 Gierke of the Discovery, and its western end, shown as a separate island, 

 he calls St. Laurence and St. Lawrence (he uses both forms), taking the 

 name from Bering. According to Billings the Chukchi call this island 

 E-oo-vogen. On his chart he calls it Eivoogiena or Clerks, adding Sinde 

 island of the Russians, while Sarichef, who accompanied Billings, has St. 

 Lawrence or Eivugen, and this is followed on Russian Hydrographic 

 charts. Kotzel)ue says the natives call it Tschibocki. This name is pre- 

 served in the name of its northwestern cape, Chibukak. Now universally 

 known as St. Lawrence island. 



Saint Lnzarid, cape; .see Edgecuinbe. 



Saint Lazaria; island, near the southern end of Kruzof island, Sitka sound, Alexan- 

 der archipelago. So called by Vasilief, in 1809, presumably to retain the 

 name supposed to have been given by Chirikof, in 1741, to Edgecuml:)e 

 cape and mountain, and by some even applied to Kruzof island as a 

 whole. Has also been called Mnisofski (cape) island. It was called 

 Robin island by Dixon in 1787. 



Sdiiil Lazaro, mountain; see Lazaro. 



Saint Leonard; point, on the western shore of St. Ignace island, Bucareli bay, Prince

Saint Matthew; island, in Bering sea. Discovered and so named l)y Sind in August, 

 1766. Cook saw it September 23, 1778, and says that afterwards he found 

 it was wholly unknown to the Russians. Accordingly, he named it Gore's,
