Such seems to be the opinion of Arrowsmith, as indicated by his map of America, 1804. That map, however, is far from being minute or satisfactory as to this part of the voyage. The chart of the Russian and English discoveries, which Mr Coxe has inserted in his work so often alluded to, is perhaps a better guide. But indeed both are faulty. The reader need not be informed that the geography of this region is still very imperfect.—E.

Coxe's work maybe advantageously consulted for information respecting the islands now mentioned. But few persons, it is presumed, feel so interested about them, as to desire any addition to the text. Besides, though a connected account of this archipelago might be either amusing or necessary, it is obvious that detached notices would have little value to commend them to attention.—E.

So Arrowsmith's map has it. The chart in Coxe's work, 4th edition, does not mention Halibut Island.—E.

Of Oonalashka, Unalashka, or Aghunalaska, for it is known by these three names, Mr Coxe has presented several interesting enough notices. The Russians were no strangers to it previous to this voyage.—E.
