Naples, with a tradition that the Senecas originated there. Hence 

 the name is translated people of the hill. The location is evidently 

 wrong in connection with the story, which clearly belongs to Bare 

 Hill, on the east shore of Canandaigua lake. Seaver tells the story 

 of the great serpent there in his account of Mary Jemison, but it 

 is well known on all the New York reservations. 



Ka-shong' creek had many names in the journals of the Sullivan 

 campaign, or rather the village destroyed there had. Among these 

 were Gaghsonghgwa, Gaghasieanhgwe, Gaghsiungua, Kashanqiash, 

 etc. The present name has been interpreted the limb has fallen. 



Ke-u'-ka, boats drawn out, is now commonly applied to Crooked 

 lake. The name probably alluded to a portage across Bluff point, 

 and differs little from Cayuga in its proper sound. 



O-go'-ya-ga, promontory extending into the lake. This also ap- 

 proximates Cayuga and Keuka in primitive sound, and may be com- 

 pared with D. Cusick's definition of Goiogogh or Cayuga, mountain 

 rising from the water. 



The common name of Seneca lake has already been considered. 

 It had several others. 



She-nan-wa'-ga was a name given to Kashong in several journals 

 of the Sullivan campaign, and is distinct from those in which the 

 present name can be traced. In fact in one it is given as an alter- 

 nate name. 



GENERAL NAMES 



NEW YORK 



There are some names of a general character, or which can not 

 now be assigned to their proper places. Among these are those 

 mentioned as villages of the three principal Iroquois clans in one 

 of the condoling songs, which follow as given in my Canadian copy. 

 To the Turtle tribe is given Ka-ne-sa-da-keh, on the hillside, which 

 was long the name of a village near Montreal, taken there by Mo- 

 hawk emigrants. Other early villages of this clan were On-kwe-i- 

 ye-de, a person standing there, Wagh-ker-hon, Ka-hen-doh-hon, 

 Tho-gwen-yah and Kagh-hi-kwa-ra-ke. 



To the Wolf clan are assigned Kar-he-tyon-ni, the broad woods; 

 Ogh-ska-wa-se-ron-hon, grown tip to bushes again; Gea-ti-yo, beau- 

 tiful plain; O-nen-yo-te, protruding stone; Deh-se-ro-kenh, between 

 two lines; Degh-ho-hi-jen-ha-ra-kwen, two families in a long house,
