Andreanof; group of islands in the middle of the Aleutian chain, extending from Seguam pass on the east to (but not including) Amchitka on the west. These islands were first explored by Andreian Tolstyk with Peter Vasiut- kiu and Maxim Lazaref in 1761. Tolstyk owned the vessel which is usually called the Andreian and Natalia. Berg calls it the Adrian and Natalia (p. 53); Coxe, the St. Andrean and Natalia (p. 155), and Dall the Andrean and Nathalia (p. 302).
Coxe says: "The first certain account was brought by this vessel, the St. Andrean and Natalia, from whence they are called the Andreanoffskie ostrova, or the islands of it. Andrean" (p. 155).

Andreanof-Continued.
Berg says: "Tolstyk, Lazaref, and Vasiutkin furnished the authorities with an exact account of the six islands discovered by them, and accordingly they were thereafter called the Andreianofski islands" (p. 55).
Petrof, speaking of Tolstyk's stay on these islands, adds, "Named after him the Andreianovski" (Banc. Hist., 129), and Dall in his Alaska, p. 302, says: "In 1761, Lazeroff explored the islands which have since borne the name of Andreánoffsky, from the owner of the vessel." Tolstyk's vessel was called the Andreian and Natalia after himself and wife, hence St. Andrean is an error. See also Fox islands.
Andrew; bay, indenting the northern shore of Adak island, Andreanof group, middle Aleutians. Apparently named by Tebenkof, 1849, presumably after Andreiana (Andrew) Tolstyk, the first explorer of Adak, in 1761. By a double error this has been rendered Lidrejana bay. The Russian L (1) differs from A by the omission of the cross mark. This cross mark was omitted by the Russian engraver. The Russian I (II) differs but slightly from the Russian N (H). Hence the strange form Lidrejana. Andrews, port; see Resurrection.
Andronica; island, one of the Shumagin group. So named by the Russians after the apostle Andrew (Andronika). Dall gives Yasni (elear) or Foggy as alternative names.
Anemuk; Eskimo village, on the left bank of the Anvik river about 30 miles above its junction with the Yukon. Native name, from Raymond, 1869. Angle; point, on the southwestern shore of Bold island, Revillagigedo channel, Alexander archipelago. So named by the Coast Survey in 1886.
Angoyaktoli; creek, tributary to the Kuskokwim, from the east, near its mouth. Native name, obtained by Spurr and Post in 1898 from missionary J. H. Kilbuck and by them written Angoyachtoli. Erroneously published Augoyaktoli.
Anguilla; a supposed island in the Gulf of Esquibel, Prince of Wales archipelago, was named Anguilla (eel) by Maurelle and Quadra in 1775-1779.
Anguvik; islet, in Chignik bay, Alaska peninsula. Native name, from Russian Hydrographie chart 1379, published in 1847.

AInihitsk. Near the beginning of this century there was a settlement on Sitkalidak island of the Kodiak group, which Lisianski (map, p. 169) called Onihitsk. Name not found elsewhere.
Anikovik; creek, debonching at Cape York, in western part of Seward peninsula. Eskimo name, from Brooks, of the Geological Survey, 1900. Published by the Coast Survey and on local maps as Ono-ko-ruk and Onokovuk. Pronounced An-y-ko'-vik. It is Youp-nut of Beechey, 1827, and Up-nut of Lutke (p. 244). Has also been written Anakovik. Animak, island; see Deer.
Animas; island and point, San Fernando island, Gulf of Esquibel, Prince of Wales archipelago. Named Ysla y punta de las Animas by Maurelle and Quadra® in 1775-1779.

Ankachak; Eskimo village, on the right bank of the lower Yukon, about 20 miles above Andreafski. Not given in the Tenth Census, 1880. In the Eleventh Census called Ankahchagmint (population 103). By Raymond, 1869, by the Coast Survey, and by the Geological Survey called Ankachagamuk, an obvious error for Ankachagamut, i. e., Ankachak people. Perhaps this place is identical with Kenunimik of a recent Coast Survey chart.
Ankau; creek, er inlet in the peninsula south of Port Mulgrave, Yakutat bay. Named Estero del Ancau by Malaspina in 1791, after a Tlinkit chief. Dixon says Ancou means friend or chief.
