  Ska-hun-do'-wa, 
  in 
  the 
  plains, 
  for 
  the 
  Delaware 
  according 
  to 
  

   Morgan. 
  Great 
  plain 
  is 
  better. 
  

   • 
  Ska-wagh-es-ten'-ras, 
  now 
  Bennett's 
  creek, 
  is 
  on 
  Sauthier's 
  map. 
  

  

  Ta-co'-ma 
  is 
  a 
  western 
  name 
  introduced. 
  

  

  Te-whe'-ack, 
  a 
  tributary 
  of 
  the 
  Mohawk 
  branch 
  of 
  the 
  Delaware, 
  

   is 
  on 
  Sauthier's 
  map. 
  It 
  may 
  be 
  derived 
  from 
  tauwatawik, 
  a 
  

   Delaware 
  term 
  for 
  uninhabited 
  land. 
  

  

  Ut-sy-ant'-hi-a 
  lake, 
  or 
  Ote-se-ont-e-o, 
  beautiful 
  spring, 
  i. 
  e. 
  

   cold 
  and 
  pure, 
  at 
  the 
  head 
  of 
  Delaware 
  river. 
  It 
  was 
  often 
  men- 
  

   tioned 
  in 
  early 
  documents 
  and 
  was 
  once 
  an 
  angle 
  of 
  Albany 
  county. 
  

   Halsey 
  calls 
  it 
  Summit 
  lake, 
  but 
  French 
  distinguishes 
  the 
  two 
  names, 
  

   making 
  the 
  former 
  a 
  lake 
  1900, 
  and 
  the 
  latter 
  one 
  2150 
  feet 
  above 
  

   tide. 
  Though 
  not 
  in 
  the 
  place 
  indicated, 
  Ut-sy-ant'-hia 
  is 
  probably 
  

   the 
  Sateiyienon 
  of 
  Pouchot's 
  map. 
  

  

  DUTCHESS 
  COUNTY 
  

  

  Ac-qua-sik, 
  the 
  big 
  rock 
  at 
  one 
  corner 
  of 
  the 
  Livingston 
  manor, 
  

   was 
  used 
  as 
  a 
  starting 
  point 
  in 
  the 
  survey 
  of 
  1743, 
  but 
  is 
  a 
  little 
  

   outside 
  of 
  this 
  county. 
  

  

  A-quas-ing 
  hardly 
  differs 
  from 
  the 
  last 
  in 
  form, 
  but 
  refers 
  to 
  

   a 
  stony 
  place 
  or 
  creek 
  in 
  another 
  place. 
  In 
  the 
  survey 
  of 
  the 
  Great 
  

   Nine 
  Partners' 
  tract 
  a 
  spot 
  was 
  mentioned 
  " 
  At 
  the 
  creek 
  called 
  

   Aquasing 
  by 
  the 
  Indians, 
  and 
  by 
  the 
  Christians 
  Fish 
  creek." 
  There 
  

   the 
  line 
  began. 
  

  

  A-po-qua-gue 
  is 
  round 
  lake 
  according 
  to 
  Ruttenber. 
  It 
  is 
  now 
  

   called 
  Silver 
  lake 
  and 
  is 
  in 
  the 
  west 
  part 
  of 
  Beekman 
  township. 
  

  

  Au-sa-te-nog 
  valley, 
  mentioned 
  in 
  these 
  surveys, 
  seems 
  a 
  form 
  of 
  

   Housatonic. 
  

  

  Ca-brick-set 
  was 
  a 
  place 
  in 
  the 
  Little 
  Nine 
  Partners' 
  tract. 
  

  

  Cal-ko-e-whock 
  was 
  over 
  against 
  Metambesem 
  in 
  1722. 
  

  

  Canoe 
  is 
  the 
  inappropriate 
  name 
  of 
  a 
  hill 
  in 
  Washington 
  township. 
  

  

  Che-kom'-i-ko 
  is 
  Shekomeko 
  creek 
  in 
  the 
  towns 
  of 
  Northeast 
  and 
  

   Pine 
  Plains. 
  

  

  Cro'-ton 
  river 
  is 
  partly 
  in 
  this 
  county. 
  

  

  Ea-qua-quan-nes-sinck, 
  the 
  land 
  adjoining 
  the 
  next 
  and 
  on 
  the 
  

   Hudson, 
  is 
  nearly 
  the 
  same 
  in 
  form. 
  

  

  Ea-qua-ry-sink 
  or 
  Equorsingh, 
  a 
  name 
  of 
  Crum 
  Elbow 
  creek, 
  

   may 
  be 
  from 
  ahquae 
  and 
  mean 
  a 
  place 
  at 
  the 
  border. 
  A 
  more 
  

   probable 
  derivation 
  would 
  be 
  Eghquaons, 
  high 
  sandy 
  banks.
