Ka-na-pau-ka kills are now the Dutch kills. From kenuppe, 



swiftly, and locative, where the water runs swiftly. 



Lu-snm was considered an Indian name by Thompson, but Tooker 

 thinks it a corruption of Lewisham. It is now called Jericho. 



Mad-nan's Neck of 1665 is Great Neck. 



Man-et-to is described by Ruttenber as a hill 30 miles from Brook- 

 lyn, and midway in the breadth of the island. He called it the hill 

 of the Great Spirit, deriving it from Manitou. Thompson also said 

 it was a hill between Jericho and Bethphage, saCred to the Great 

 Spirit. Manitou, however, is applied to lesser divinities when with- 

 out the adjective, and often to anything unusual. Thus Roger 

 Williams said : " They cry out Manittoo, that is, It is a god, at the 

 apprehension of any excellency in men, women, birds," etc. Thus 

 here, if correctly applied, it might be only a hill of remarkable 

 appearance. 



Man-has-set was a place sometimes called Sint Sink by the Indians 

 and Cow Neck by the English. This name was applied to Schout's 

 bay in 1640, and Tooker makes it the same, as does a note in New 

 York Colonial Documents, volume 2, page 145, where it is said of 

 Schout's bay that it is "Now Manhasset (North Hempstead), at 

 the head of Cow bay, afterward called Howe's bay, from Lieutenant 

 Daniel Howe, and sometimes Schout's from the circumstance of the 

 Dutch official having landed there." It is now applied to the bay 

 and necks as well. • 



Ma-ros-se-pinck may be the same as the next. The chief of this 

 place some sold land in 1639. 



Mar-sa-peague or Marseping Indians had their name from their 

 home. The sachem of Marsapege was mentioned in 1656, 1661 and 

 1664. In 1655 it was written Marsepain. 



Mar-tin-ne-houck was mentioned as an Indian village at Mattinne- 

 konck or Martin Gerritsen's bay in 1650. When Indian names re- 

 sembled Dutch words, as in Algonquin dialects they often did, there 

 was sometimes confusion. 



Ma-tin-i-cock point suggests the last. It was mentioned in 1644. 

 and 1661, and the name is still preserved in the town of Oyster Bay. 

 Mattanauke suggests this, but is a name for " a fine sort of mats to 

 sleep on."
