As-ke-wa-en has its name from an undefined personal name. 



As-o-qua-tah mountain was in Lewisboro in 1708. 



A^-pe-tong mountain retains its name and is northwest of Bed- 

 ford village. Tooker derives this from aspe, to raise up, while 

 ashpohtag means something that is high. 



As-sum-so-wis was a place in Pelham, and Tooker thought it a 

 personal name. 



Be-tuck-qua-pock or Dumpling pond was originally in New York, 

 and is on Van der Donck's map. It is now in Greenwich, Ct., and 

 is sometimes written Petuquapaen. Tooker thought the proper form 

 was Pituquapaug or round pond. 



Bis-sigh-tick creek was on the north side of some land bought 

 in 1682. Tooker derived this from Pissigh-tuck, muddy creek. 



Ca-no-pus is from the name of a chief. 



Can-ta-to-e or Katonah is sometimes written Cantitoe. It is the 

 name of a chief of 1683, and is applied to the Jay homestead. It 

 is also written Catonah, and may be derived from Ketatonah, great 

 mountain. 



Ca-ra-nas-ses was mentioned by Bolton. 



Cay-way-west or Caquanost was a neck in Mamaroneck, bought 

 in 1661'. The first name may be from koowa, a pine tree, while the 

 last resembles caukoonash, stockings. ^ 



Chap-pa-qua pond, hill, springs and station are in New Castle 

 [see Siiappaqua]. Tooker made it a boundary, but it might be from 

 the Delaware word scaphacki, a zvell watered land, and this seems 

 better. 



Cha-ti-e-mac. In the Indian in his Wigivani, Schoolcraft gives 

 this name to the lower Hudson, defining it stately szvan. Usually 

 he wrote it Shatemuc, pelican river \^see Shatemuc]. 



Cis-qua creek [see Kisco]. Tooker says this does not mean 

 heaver dam, as some have thought. This and a meadow of the same 

 name appear in an Indian deed of 1700. It is from kishke, hy the 

 side of anything. 



Co-bo-mong, written also Comonck and Cobamong, has been 

 applied to Byram river, and is partly derived from amaug, a -fish- 

 ing place. Tooker says that, considered as a boundary, it may rep- 

 resent Chaubun-kong-amaug, boundary fishing place. Scharf says 

 the district about Byram lake is called Cohemong, which James
