Weg-wa-gonck, a place at the end of the hills, is a name given 

 by Tooker. 



Wick-a-pogue, head of the pond, is in Southampton. Eud of the 

 pond is better. 



Wick-a-pos-sett was the east part of Fisher's island, according to 

 Thompson. 



Wi-gam swamp was sold by the town of Huntington in 1699. 

 Wiquam, and thence wigwam, is the name of a house. 



Win-gan-hep-poge or Winganhoppogue was in Smithtown, and a 

 note has already been quoted from the records of that town, ex- 

 plaining the meaning of Happauge. Elsewhere Mr Tooker says 

 that in 1703 Andrew Gibb gave a mortgage for the neck " called 

 by the name of Winganhoppogue, or ye pleasant springs." The 

 full word means this, Happauge lacking the adjective. At the 

 time of the mortgage the entire name was also given to a creek on 

 the east side. In 1692 it was written Winganhappauge and placed 

 on the south side of Long Island. Thompson called it Wingatt- 

 happagh or Vail's brook. 



Win-ne-co-mack patent appears in the Smithtown records for 

 1702 and 1789, the Indian deed having been given in 1698. Mrs 

 Flint made this beautiful place. Comack, however, implies a 

 boundary or inclosure, and it is on the line of Huntington and Smith- 

 town. The adjective has been dropped, and it is now simply 

 Comae. 



Wop-o-wog wa*s an Indian settlement on Stony brook in Brook- 

 haven, according to Thompson. There are large shell banks there, 

 and the name may be from wompi, zvhitc, with locative, in allusion 

 to these. 



Wy-an-dance is now a hamlet in Babylon, called after a great 

 Montauk chief who died in 1659. He was a warm and influential 

 friend of the colonists. 



Yam-ke is Thompson's name for a stream in Brookhaven, and 

 may mean on the other side. 



Yamp-hank seems the same name as the next, but has been ap- 

 plied to the vicinity of South Haven on the Connecticut river. 



Yap-hank was a tributary of that river, and is also the name of a 

 village in Brookhaven. It may be derived from appehhanog, traps. 



Ya-ta-mun-ti-ta-hege river was west of Copiag Neck.
