lum among the Iroquois. The confused 

 and untrustworthy statements concern- 

 ing the Squawkihow and the Missisauga 

 (Twakanha) Indians made by David Cu- 

 sick in his History of the Six Nations 

 (1828) have misled most authors who 

 have attempted to identify the Squawki- 

 how. Thus, Macauley (Hist. N. Y., 180, 

 1829) identities them with the Shawnee, 

 and says that the Squawkihow inhabited 

 the banks of Genesee r. before the Sen- 

 eca and the Erie possessed the country. 

 In Butler's Niagara treaty with various 

 Indian tribes the "Squaghkie" Indians 

 figured as a separate tribe, as above men- 

 tioned. 



For 16 m. below Portage, N. Y., the 

 channel of Genesee r. lies at the bottom 

 of a deep gorge whose banks in some 

 places rise nearly 700 ft, and in the town 

 of Leicester, Livingston co., the stream 

 breaks forth from the side of the moun- 

 tain cliff. This opening in the valley, 

 forming a striking feature of the land- 

 scape, was called by the Seneca Indians 

 Dayoitgao {Deio'dgen'^on\ 'there it issues'). 

 In the spring of 1780, Guy Johnson, in as- 

 signing the dispersed Iroquois tribes new 

 homes, placed the dependent Squawkihow 

 on the w. side of Genesee r. , at Dayoitgao, 

 near the present Mt Morris, and it is 

 this place that has retained the name 

 "Squawkie Hill." (.i. n. b. h.)

 Squeteague. The weakfish ( OfoUthus 

 regalis), a very useful species of fish, since 

 its flesh, which is rich and gelatinous 

 when fresh, affords a delicate article of 

 food, while from its swimming bladder 

 can be made an excellent fish glue or 

 isinglass. The latter fact wasdiscovered by 

 the Narraganset, who used the " sounds ' ' 

 of the fish for making a glutinous sub- 

 stance which they used for the same pur- 

 pose for which glue would be employed, 

 hence the name pesakweteauaq, ' they 

 make glue ' (the subject of the verb being
