To the south of the gutters lie East Buck and West Buck Islands, although here again confusion exists, as West Buck oc- casionally appears on maps as " Monohansett." The three Weepecket Islands extend northward from the eastern end of Naushon and now constitute a bird sanctuary. With the mention of Gull Island, a small strip of sand lying east of Penikese, and Pine Island, imme- diately to the northeast of Nonamesset, the subject of the minor islands may be dismissed, for the remaining islets are too snudi to have received formal names. HISTORICAL INTEREST OF THE ELIZABETH ISLANDS A unique historical interest attaches to the Elizabeth Islands through the fact that upon the outermost of the chain was uuide the first attempt to establish an English settlement in North America. On the 4th of June (Old Style, May 25th), 1602, Captain Bartholomew Gosnold, after having named Cape Cod and Dover Cliff (now Gay Head), fixed upon the island of Cuttyhunk as the site of a future settlement and, in honor of his sovereign queen, called it Elizabeth's Isle, which name has since been applied to the entire group. Here, upon a tiny islet in a large pond at the west end, the crew of Gosnold's ship, the " Concord, " constructed a rude fort, and here they lived for a period of three weeks. This settlement, short-lived though it was, thus antedates the founding of Jamestown by five years and that of Plymouth by eighteen years, a fact which was commemorated by the erection and dedication of a monument to Gosnold on Cuttyhunk upon the occasion of the tercentenary of the original landfall.^ Cuttyhunk is the only member of the Elizabeth Islands which has been able to boast a permanent popidation. The little town of Gosnold, named after its ilhistrious founder, h
