Holmes, R. 1960 31 July Barrow, Alaska Island which has a steep like — and is about 4 mile in length. This island was not landed at this time. But it was visited on the 24th. There were very few birds there at that time (Thousand was quite low & flat with very little driftwood). Deadman's Island is the next in the series, and this one is about a mile long. It has higher places where there are scattered pieces of driftwood & birds are found nesting here. When Tapkalku was visited today, it turned out to be a very low sandy island with very little nesting locales for birds & consequently there were no birds nesting there. A few terns & solvin gulls were seen there, but then were apparent wanderers. The island is hard to land on because of several shoals & shallower waters in the Southside of the island. Looked down the island to the east, and it's the Tapkalku Island appears to be higher, but they are not visited
