Clay was observed at one or two points, for a short distance between Hoya-kund-la and Tlell Rivers, also a formation resembling peat. A forest of spruce, hemlock, cedar and cypress covers probably nine-tenths of the surface of the island.

To the south and westward lies an irreclaimable swamp, covering from five to seven thousand acres, filled with dead trees, standing. South of the Hoya-kund-la River, and near the seashore, there is about 250 acres of grazing land, interspersed with groves of small spruce.
