 Two Noteworthy Lakes
 Lake Grosvcnor and Lake Coville, named for Dr, Gilbert Grosvenor, President of the National Georgra- nhlo Society and for Dr. Frederick " CoVilIc, Chairman of the Society's Research Committe respectively, lie .to the northeast of ;he Katmai Mon- Umcut.
 Lake CrosVCnor is 3S miles long and has been described by surveyors as the most beautiful body of water in this part of the Alaska peninsula. It is shut in on all sides by high. forrst-clad mountains, but may be rcachcd by an easy portage of a mile and a half from the Bay of Is. lands or by ascending Savonoski River, which flows into IliuIl Arm.
 Lake Covile is also surrounded by mountains which rise to 5000 feet. It IS connected with Lake Grosvenor hy a short, swift stream.
 Mount LaGorCe, named in honor of John Oliver LaGorcc. vice -presi. dent of the National Geographic sO- cicty is an imposing peak rising to "a height of 3,3I5 feet just within the limits of tho Katmai National monument and overlooking Hulk Arm 10 the south, Bay of Islands to the north and Lake GroSvenor to the east
 studded With Granite ISIcts
 Bay Of Islands is an arm Of Nak- uok lake lying 10 the north of the Katmai National monument. It is a beautiful body Of water studded with moro than 100 forest-clad granite lsltts.
 Lake Brooks lies to the south of Naknek lake and is separated from the latter hy high mountain. It drains into Nakncll hy a short swift river which tumhles over a ledge about seven feet high forming Brooks Falls. It was at this fall that members of one of the societys expeditions observed the salmon Ioaping upstream over the ledge at the rate of 1.2no an hour It was estimated that a mlllioN. fish were breeding above the falls. Roth the lake and the falls are named in honor of the late nr, Alfred H. Brooke.
 Fultcns Falls. which occur on a tributary of kainla river, have been so named in recognition of the work of Bentley R. Fulton, entomol- oeist of the Oregon Agricultural col loge, Corvallis, Oregon. Mir. Fulton. formerly l. student under pr. Rob crt r. Grirgs. leader of the Katmai did especially valuable work during the season of 1915.
 FnUni Gcograrhtc Harbor Route
 HaErlhargcrs Pass was found hy Paul R Hagelharger, who was a member of the 1917, 1918 and 1919 expeditions. In 1919 pr. Griggs de- tailed him to try to find a feasible route from Geographic harbor (the natural haven for future visitors) 10 the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes. He and one companion not only found the pass which now bears his name tat an elevation Of LOGO fee), but with William N. fleming sur voyed all Of the peninsula lying be- tween Geographic harbor and kinak Bay. II IS hoped that some day an automobile highway will go ever this pass, opening ur the natural mar vels of this region 10 the outside world.
