them. The track to be followed is south^Yard of this cluster and close 

 to the eastern end of the southern island. Gull rock (Nauyaktikiluk) , 

 the eastern of the group, is about 40 feet high, and may be approached 

 on the eastern side to within 400 yards. Reefs, which generally 

 break, lie between Gull rock and the low islet northeastward of the 

 northern Turnavik island. 



There is a harbor on the southwestern side of the northern island, 

 formed by an islet point, within which about fifty vessels moor side 

 by side. 



A rock, that breaks in heavy weather, bears 25°, distant 2f miles 

 from the northwestern point of the northern Turnavik island. 



Cominunication. — The Labrador steamer to and from St. Johns, 

 via Battle harbor, calls at Turnavik islands fortnightly during 

 summer. 



Kaipokok, a remarkable hill 895 feet high, is situated west-south- 

 westward, 10 miles from cape Aillik. Southeastward of this hill an 

 inlet extends southwestward about 30 miles, and at its head is a post 

 of the Hudson Bay Company. Several small harbors are situated in 

 the vicinity of Kaipokok, but they have not been examined; the 

 approaches to them pass among numerous rocks and islets, and 

 should not be navigated without local knowledge. 



Ukalluktok (Hares islands) comprise a group of islands lying 

 8| miles west-northwestward from Turnavik islands. There are sev- 

 eral sunken rocks between these groups, but there is a passage be- 

 tween the rocks and another just southward of them. Striped island, 

 the southernmost island of the Ukalluktok group, is 288 feet high, 

 curiously striped in nearly horizontal black and white bands, and an 

 excellent mark. 



Tikkerasuk (Tickle Arichat of the fishermen), westward, 1^ miles 

 from Ukalluktok, and off a promontory on the mainland, is an 

 island 91 feet high. The channel between the island and the main- 

 land is shallow, but it affords excellent anchorage for fishing vessels. 

 Some low islets lie off the southeastern side of Tikkerasuk, and tem- 

 porary anchorage can be taken up wathin them; the northeastern 

 point of the island is stee]3-to, and there are some islets, that shelter 

 the anchorage, northwestward of the tickle. 



The islands and rocks between Tikkerasuk and Hopedale are 

 numerous, and so many are alike that it is impossible to identify them 

 from description; only those bordering on the track are described 

 herein. 



Canairiktok, a bay, the entrance of which is west-southwestward, 

 distant 9 miles from Tikkerasuk, is reported to extend south-south- 

 westward about 15 miles. 



Kayaksuatilik, westward about 8 miles from Tikkerasuk, is an 

 island with a sharp peak; at its northern end are long points, each
