Pownall's name of Lake Champlain are good points in this paper, 

 and he considers Irondequoit as thus meaning a door of the country, 

 and Toronto a derivative. 



Ke-int-he, a Seneca town of 1677. This name was also given to 

 a Cayuga village of the same period, on the Bay of Quinte' in 

 Canada. 



Ne-a'-ga Wa— a-gwen-ne-yu, A^-iagara lake footpath is a Seneca 

 name given by Morgan for the trail near Lake Ontario. 



O'-at-ka, an opening, is his name for Scottsville, and it, is also 

 applied to Allen's creek in Genesee county. 



O-hu-de-a-ra is a Seneca name for Lake Ontario, according to 

 some, but this seems doubtful. 



O-neh'-chi-geh, long ago, is Morgan's name for Sandy creek. 



Sgo-sa-ist-hoh, ivhere the szveil dashes against the precipice, is 

 applied by Harris to a rift on Irondequoit creek, above the dugway 

 mills. Marshall wrote it Sgoh'-sa-is'-thah, with the same place and 

 meaning. The first division is best. 



Sko'-sa-is-to, falls reboujiding from an obstruction, is Morgan's 

 name for Honeoye Falls. 



Ta-e-ga-ron-di-es, visited by La Mothe and Hennepin in 1678, was 

 Totiakton, and was called Thegarondies by Lahontan in 1687. 



To-ti-ak'-ton, a Seneca village mentioned by Greenhalgh in 1677, 

 was on an abrupt bend of Honeoye creek, and had its name from its 

 situation, the word meaning bend or bending. Greenhalgh called it 

 Tiotohatton, and said it " is near the river Tiottehatton, which sig- 

 nifies bending." Morgan gave it as Da-yo'-de-hok-to, a bended 

 creek. Doty wrote it Totiakto, following Marshall. The French 

 sometimes made it Totiakton, but called the last Seneca castle de- 

 stroyed in 1687, Theodehacto. It had then been moved to .a site 

 west of Honeoye Falls. The Seneca chief Blacksmith gave it the 

 name of De-yu'-di-haak'-do, the bend. This was the Mission of la 

 Concepcion, often called Sonnontouan by the Jesuits. It is doubtful 

 whether it was. ever so called by the Senecas, as this meant the 

 great hill, being their national name and not suited to either site. 



Wah-gah-ah-yeh, the old fort, was the Seneca name for an early 

 earthwork at Handford's landing in Rochester. Harris said the full 

 descriptive name would be Twah-dah-a-la-ha-la, or fort on a hill.
