an Indian, viz : The loss of a finger, which the word signifies." On 

 Lodge's map is " Haunyauga Lake. Eng-'^'^ the open hand." Han-

In his account of the Iroquois migrations David Cusick said: 

 " The fifth family was directed to make their residence near a high 

 mountain, or rather nole, situated south of the Canandaigua lake, 

 which was named Jenneatowake, and the family was named Te- 

 how-nea-nyo-hent, i. e. possessing a door, now Seneca." , This is 

 usually located at Fort hill, Naples, while others place it elsewhere. 

 To this name and that of To-na'-kah is given the meaning of people 

 of the great hill. 



Ka-na-de'-sa-ga is Ga-nun'-da-sa-ga, neiv settlement village in 

 Morgan's list. It was a little northwest of Geneva, and the name 

 was often given to Seneca lake. It seems to have been mentioned 

 as Canayichagy in 1753. Of course it has many forms in the jour- 

 nals of Sullivan's campaign. Among these are Cunnusedago, Ken- 

 nesdago, Kanadasago, Kannadasegea, etc. In Tuscarora the place 

 is called O-ta-na-sa'-ga. 



Ka-shong', the limb has fallen, is the name of a creek and former 

 Indian village, a few miles south of Geneva and on the west shore 

 of Seneca lake. Many names of this place are found in the journals 

 of 1779, some hardly suggesting the present form, but one is Ca- 

 shong. Among others are Gaghcoughwa, Gahgsonghwa, Gagha- 

 sieanhgwe, Gothsinguea., Gaghsiungua, etc. 



Ko-ho-se-ragh'-e and Ka-he-sa-ra-he'-ra are names for the town 

 on Boughton hill, and are defined by A. Crsick as light on a hill. 

 They may be corruptions of a name already given. 



Nun'-da-wa-o, great hill, is Morgan's name for Naples, on Canan- 

 daigua lake. 



Nah'-daeh is Marshall's name for Hemlock lake, from o-na'-dah, 

 hemlock, and ga-ah', it is upon. These trees abound there. 



"Negateca fontaine" appears on a map of 1680, and seems the 

 burning spring of La Salle. It excited early attention, and in 

 Colonel Romer's instructions he was told : " You are to go and 

 view a well or spring which is eight miles beyond the Sineks farth- 

 est Castle, which they have told me blazes up in a flame when a 

 light coale or fire brand is put into it ; yo will do well to taste the 

 gaid water, and giv^ me your opinion thereof, and brin^ with you
