Quinto bay, is called Rice R[iver] in 1817.1 All other maps examined, 
both prior to and following the one named, call the stream Trent 
river. 
Menominee river, discharging into Green bay and forming the bound- 
ary between the upper peninsula of Michigan and Wisconsin, has had 
numerous names. Hoffman” spells the word J/enomin?. On the 
same page he also says that the word is from the Indian J///niha! 
nise'pe. Verwyst says that the word is a corruption of manominiq, or 
oumanominig, meaning ‘* wild-rice people.” * The following various
