Seward; peninsula, of western Alaska, between Kotzebue and Norton sounds. It 

 has been so designated on maps and in the texts of several publications 

 since the gold excitement of 1898, this having been suggested l)y Covernor 

 Brady in compliment to Hon. William H. Seward. The name Kaviak 

 was proposed by Dall in 1869, who in his Alaska (p. 268) says: "The great 

 peninsula inclosed by the waters of Norton Bay and Sound, Bering Strait, 

 the Arctic Ocean, and Kotzebue Sound it is proposed to call the Kdrlak 

 Peuinsida, from the native name of Kavi-iak and the Kdviak Innnit, who 

 inhabit it." This name Kaviak appears to have never come into use. I 

 have not found it on any map.
