EAI1LY HISTORY OF THE CREEK INDIANS

This identification of Ouade is important because it enables us to 
fix with something approaching certainty the location of the rivers 
and islands named by Ribault. Researches among documents from 
Spanish sources have enabled the writer to determine with even 
greater accuracy the equivalent names applied by the Spaniards, 
and as this information will be of some value both to future ethnolo- 
gists and future historians, as well as of immediate utility in the 
present bulletin, it is incorporated in the subjoined table. The 
names in this table run from south to north, beginning with the coast 
north of St. Augustine, Fla. The French ''rivers" are practically 
identical with the bays, sounds, and entrances of Spanish, English, 
and American writers, although, indeed, one or more rivers falls into 
each of these.
