De-a-wone'-da-ga-han'-da is Morgan's name for Wolfe island. 



Ga-hu'-a-go-je-twa-da-a'-lote, fort at the mouth of the great river, 

 is his name for Sacketts Harbor, referring to the military post there. 

 The first four syllables refer to the river, which is not expressly 

 called great. 



Ga-na-wa'-ga, the rapid river, is applied to the St Lawrence by 

 Morgan. David Cusick called it Kanawage, and it has other slightly 

 differing forms, the name being used in many places. 



Ga-nen-tou'-ta, or Assumption river of the French, is on Sauthier's 

 map and seems to be Stony creek, south of Traverse bay. Genen- 

 tota varies but slightly from this. A. Cusick defines this as pine 

 trees standing up, a name closely resembling that of Canastota. 



Ka-hen-gouet-ta, mentioned on Gallinee's map of 1669, is now 

 Chaumont bay. It is sometimes written Kohenguetta. A. Cusick 

 translated this where they smoked tobacco, fishing and hunting 

 parties often meeting there. 



Ka-hu-ah'-go, great or wide river, is Morgan's name for Black 

 river and Watertown. In this simple form it is the river, great by 

 implication rather than expression. The Onondagas add the 

 adjective and make it Ka-hu-wa-go'-na, great river. The Tusca- 

 roras call it Ka-sha-ka'-ka. It is probable that Kaghiohage, an 

 Oneida fishing place in 1700, which was 12 miles from Lake Ontario 

 and one and one-half days' journey from Oneida, may have been 

 the same. The name is often used for a large river, as the Cuya- 

 hoga in Ohio. Through a misprint in Squier's account of local 

 antiquities, it was given as Ka-me-har-go, afterward condensed by 

 others into kamargo, thus changing an Iroquois into an Algonquin 

 word and utterly destroying the sense. 



Ka-wen-i-oun-i-oun is on Gallinee's map, south of and near the 

 Thousand islands. 



Mus-ca-longe lake and bay are called from that fish, and both an 

 Indian and French origin have been claimed for the name. 



Ni-a-ou-re bay was so called in 1756, but this appears in several 

 forms. It is now called Chaumont after Le Ray de Chaumont, who 

 was a French gentleman owning large tracts of land. On the 

 map of the New Hampshire grants it is Niawerne, while Sauthier 

 makes it Niaouenre or Nivernois bay. The last name is supposed
