    Discusses a score or more ponds, some transient, some persistent, on this narrow gravel spit, their location, nature, salinity and temperature; their biotas, marine and fresh-water, are outlined. Nuwuk Lake, the largest water body of the locality, approx. 600 ft long, max. depth 18.5 ft, is treated in some detail: its bottom, its formation by converging currents of the Bering and Chukchi Seas, ice conditions, temperature, salinity and O2-content. The biotas: euryhaline, reduced shallow-sea fauna are dealt with and the organisms collected during 1952-1960 are tabulated. Comparison is made with the few halocline lakes known in northern Russia and Scandinavia, notably Mogil'noye on Kil'din Island
