short village. That is, in the Indian way of speaking, not a very 

 long, in fact a very short village. 



Scho-har-ie creek is written Sko-har'-le, Hoodwood, by Morgan. 

 This is a well established definition; otherwise it might have been 

 corrupted from skaihoriati, translated beyond the streanu by Bruyas, 

 as it lay east of the Mohawk towns. Fuller treatment is reserved 

 dor Schoharie county. 



Sen-at-sy-cros-sy was the second small village west of the first 

 castle in 1634. 



Shack-ar-ack-o-ung-ha was a name for Zimmerman's creek in 

 Colden's survey of 1754. 



Si-et-i-os-ten-rah-re. Bruyas mentioned a Mohawk village of 

 this name, which was partly derived from ostenra, a rock. 



So-ha-ni-dis-se was the third castle in 1634, there being then four. 

 It seems a name already given, but Van Curler wrote it Rehana- 

 disse on his return.

Ta-ra-jo-rhies is the name for Prospect hill, Fort Plain, given 

 by French and defined hill of health. It is a commanding situation 

 and was the site of an Indian village, which Mqrgan thought the

 joharie creek, meaning a valley. 



Te-no-to-ge and Tenotogehatage are Van Curler's names for the 

 fourth castle in 1634. As but three castles are usually reckoned this 

 is the name of the last. Megapolensis called it Thenondiogo, the 

 castle of the Wolf clan. It was a large town and had many houses 

 on the north side of the river in 1634, the fort being then on the 

 south side. 



Te-on-da-lo'-ga, tivo streams coming together, is Morgan's name 

 for Fort Hunter. It has been written Te-ah'-ton-ta-lo'-ga, and the 

 name appears in so many forms that other meanings might be sug-

Te-ye-on-da-ro-ge is the same as the last, appearing as the name
