PLATE 9 



Condensed from Morgan's " Map of Ho-de-no-sau-nee-ga, or 

 the Territories of the People of the Long House." 1851 



This gives names of places mostly as known to the Senecas. The location 

 of Indian towns is hardly satisfactory. Many of colonial days are omitted, 

 while a few are retained, and it is hard to say precisely what period it repre- 

 sents. So valuable a contribution to New York ethnology should have recog- 

 nition in any history of the Six Nations; and, while much will be omitted, 

 some additional information will be supplied.
