Footnotes

<1>	Keep in mind that you might find some variations to Allans Island: It's frequently the practice of mapmakers to remove the apostrophe from possessive names. So Allans Island may originally have been Allan's Island. Sometimes the trailing 's' might be dropped altogether. In that case, you may find that a reference to Allan Island is actually referring to Allans Island. - Return to Citation
