The general character of the island and its ecological features as regards the vegetation have been described by Lewis and Miss Shaw in the report previously mentioned. While the vegeta- tional environments are of interest in connection with the con- sideration of the fauna, it would be superfluous to restate here the data to be found in that publication, especially in the section on "Ecology of Penikese" by Miss Margaret F. Shaw. It is necessary to give only a single quotation from Lewis (below) and to say that the small rocky island is practically devoid of trees, and, except where denuded of all vegetation in some of the nesting grounds of terns, is given over to grasses and other small plants, with rarely a low growing shrub or willow. "The island Penikese is a remnant of the terminal moramr now seen in the Elizabeth Islands. It is about two thirds of a mile long and half as broad, with a broadly spatulate point for convenience of reference called Tub Point, extending further to the east for another third of a mile. Its contour is dominated by low hills on the main body of the island, with depressions here and there which may be ponds of a rather temporary character (map)..
