Aquebauke was also called Piaconnock river. Ruttenber mentions 

 Accopogue as an Indian village on a creek entering Little Peconic 

 bay on the north, and adds that Occopogue, now Riverhead, is much 

 the same and derived from accup, a creek, which may be the case. 

 Upper Aquebogne now appears on maps north of the village of 

 Riverhead, and Old Aquebogne at the east end of the town, on 

 Great Peconic bay. Pog is used in compound words for water. 



A-ra-ca Neck was mentioned in 1694, and Arace or West Neck 

 of 1682 may be the same. It may be a derivation from auwassu, 

 he zvarms himself. R was rarely used by the Indians of Long 

 Island, and such a change has good authority. 



A-ra-se Co-se-ag-ge, or East Neck, was sold in 1697. 



Ar-ha-ta-munk or Actamunk was on the east line of a deed of 

 1659, in Smithtown. It varied much in form, being written Arhata- 

 munt in 1659, and Catawamac in 1685. Acatamunk and Catawa- 

 muck are other forms. Tooker derived it from arhata, crab ; primar- 

 ily meaning they run to and fro, and amuk, fishing place. 



Ar-sha-ma-maque, zvild Hax, is a place near Southold, and was 

 also called Hashamomuk. It seems quite as likely to refer to a fish- 

 ing place. 



A-sha-mau-muk seems the same word, but in the Smithtown rec- 

 ords it is a fresh-water pond at the parting of the bounds, and would 

 thus be a name for Lake Ronconcoma. Here it would probably be 

 a fishing place of ^ome kind. 



As-pa-tuck creek is in Southampton, tuk referring to a stream. 



A-wix-a or Kakaijongh brook was also called Owixa. 



Canoe Place is now called from an Indian word for boat, but the 

 old name is Merosuck. It is near Southampton, and an aboriginal 

 canal united Shinnecock and Peconic bays. This canal was made 

 by Mongotucksee or Long Knife, a Montauk chief. 



Can-tas-gun-tah creek, in Islip, is west of Connetquot river. 



The Cat-a-wau-nuck or Cattawamnuck land was given to Gar- 

 diner by Wy-an-dance. It was also written Catawamac and Cata- 

 wamuck, which would indicate a fishing place. 



Cats-ja-jock was at the east end of Long Island in 1647, when 

 its chief was hostile to the Dutch. It was called Catsjeyick in 1645. 



Cau-sa-wa-sho-wy was a swamp in Southold, mentioned in 1680. 



Caus Cung Quaram, a part of East Neck in Huntington, was sold
