Ska-hun-do'-wa, in the plains, for the Delaware according to 

 Morgan. Great plain is better. 



Ska-wagh-es-ten'-ras, now Bennett's creek, is on Sauthier's map. 



Ta-co'-ma is a western name introduced. 



Te-whe'-ack, a tributary of the Mohawk branch of the Delaware, 

 is on Sauthier's map. It may be derived from tauwatawik, a 

 Delaware term for uninhabited land. 



Ut-sy-ant'-hi-a lake, or Ote-se-ont-e-o, beautiful spring, i. e. 

 cold and pure, at the head of Delaware river. It was often men- 

 tioned in early documents and was once an angle of Albany county. 

 Halsey calls it Summit lake, but French distinguishes the two names, 

 making the former a lake 1900, and the latter one 2150 feet above 

 tide. Though not in the place indicated, Ut-sy-ant'-hia is probably 

 the Sateiyienon of Pouchot's map.

 the line began.

 Hudson, is nearly the same in form. 



Ea-qua-ry-sink or Equorsingh, a name of Crum Elbow creek, 

 may be from ahquae and mean a place at the border. A more 

 probable derivation would be Eghquaons, high sandy banks.
