Ouar-o-ro-non, the most easterly town of the Neutrals in 1626, 

 and a day's journey west of the Senecas.. This should be under- 

 stood of the Seneca territory and not of their towns. Some of these 

 had been withdrawn to the east side of Genesee river on account 

 of the war. A. Cusick defined this a separated people, and it seems 

 to have been the home of the Wenrohronons, who left the place 

 because of its exposed condition at a later day, taking refuge with 

 the Hurons. Their isolation gave this name to their town and 

 themselves. 



Ou-non-tis-as-ton was De la Roche's residence in 1626. A. Cu- 

 sick defined this the thing luhich made the hill high, and the village 

 may have been on the ridge overlooking the lake, if indeed in New 

 York. 



O-yon-wa-yea or O-non-wa-yea is mentioned as a name for John- 

 son's landing place in the treaty of 1789, 4 miles east of Niagara 

 river. In the treaty of 1795 it is called O-yong-wong-yeh, which 

 is the present Onondaga name. A. Cusick thought this might 

 mean something sunk to the bottom, a possible incident of the siege 

 of Niagara in 1759. This is now Fourmile creek, and should not 

 be confounded with Johnson's creek, much farther east. 



Shaw-nee, the south or southern people, once subjected to the 

 Iroquois. A name applied to a hamlet in the town of Wheatfield. 



Ska-no'-da-ri-o, beautiful lake. Morgan gives this as the Mo- 

 hawk word from which Ontario is derived. It varies with the 

 dialect. The next four are from the same writer. 



Ta-ga'-ote is Lockport, and probably means at the spring. 



Ta'-na-wun-da, swift water, is Tonawanda creek. Marshall 

 slightly differs from this, making it Ta-no'-wan-deh, rough stream. 

 It is inappropriately given to several places, unless understood as 

 being at or near this creek. 



Te-car'-na-ga-ge, black creek, is the east branch of Tuscarora 

 creek. 



Te-ka'-on-do-duk, place zuith a signpost. Mid'dleport. 



Tus-ca-ro-ra Reservation is that of the shirt-zuearing people- 

 There is a creek of this name. The Onondagas call this people Tus- 

 ki-e-a, and they term themselves Skau-ro-ra, wearing a shirt. In 

 councils they are sometimes called Tu-hah-te-ehn-yah-wali-kou,
