ralled the Red Cedar the We-nom-in-ee,! and at about the same time 
Schoolcraft named that part of Red Cedar river above Rice lake, in 
Barron county, the #ol/e Avoine.” In 1831 it seems that the entire 
stream was called /0/le Avoine. In 1848 the river is given as J/enom- 
onie, and flows through Manominikan Lake.’ This is undoubtedly 
the Rice lake in Barron county, Wisconsin. About 1850 Warren 
speaks of Prairie Rice Lake, ov Mush-ko-da-mun-o-min-e-kin, or Lac 
la Folle [Prairie lake] as connected with Pellican Jake, which dis- 
charges into the Red Cedar river.* This Prairie lake receives the 
waters of Rice Creck.° 
In the year 1836 Pellican Rice Lake was given on Red Cedar river.® 
This tast is probably Lake Chetak, in Barron county. 
In 1795 ‘**Chippeway” river is given on a map.’ Previous to that 
time it had very generally been called Malaminican, as in 1755, 1750, 
and 1746.° 
The Menomonee river, discharging into Lake Michigan at Milwau- 
kee, Wisconsin, was the J/wnomonee river on a map in 1844.° It was 
Menominie viver on a map five years previous,’ and Mennomonece on 
Mitchells map of 1838; 't while in 1835 it was given as the Jenominee.” 
The river has a tributary which is now called JJenomonee creek, 
which, for most of its course, flows in Ozaukee county. 
The Fox river in Wisconsin, which discharges into the southern end 
of Green bay, had a Lac des Folles Avoines, according to a French 
map of 1688." It is the only lake then represented along the course of 
the Fox river. Another very old French map” has three lakes called 
Lac des Folles Avoines on the present Fox river. An expansion of 
the Fox river 1 mile wide, near its discharge into Lake Winnebago, was 
called Lake Menominey in 1835. The author probably referred to an 
arm of the present Big Buttes Des Morts lake. This arm in 1836 
was called Monomonie Lake.’ The same year it was also referred to as
