  east 
  side 
  of 
  Canada, 
  or 
  St 
  Lawrence 
  river, 
  bounded 
  eastward 
  by 
  

   Saragtoga 
  and 
  the 
  drowned 
  lands; 
  northward 
  by 
  a 
  line 
  from 
  

   Regiochne 
  point 
  (on 
  Lake 
  Champlain, 
  or, 
  as 
  the 
  Indians 
  call 
  it, 
  

   Caniaderiguarunte, 
  the 
  lake 
  that 
  is 
  the 
  gate 
  of 
  the 
  country) 
  through 
  

   the 
  Cloven 
  Rock, 
  on 
  the 
  same 
  lake, 
  to 
  Oswegatchie, 
  or 
  la 
  Galette 
  ; 
  

   southwestward 
  by 
  the 
  dwelling 
  lands 
  of 
  the 
  Mohawks, 
  Oneidas 
  and 
  

   Tuscaroras." 
  The 
  second 
  hunting 
  ground 
  was 
  the 
  Ohio 
  country- 
  

   "Thirdly, 
  Tieucksouckrondtie, 
  all 
  that 
  tract 
  of 
  country 
  lying 
  be- 
  

   tween 
  the 
  Lakes 
  Erie 
  and 
  Q'illinois,. 
  Fourthly, 
  ' 
  Scaniaderiada, 
  or 
  

   the 
  country 
  beyond 
  the 
  lake 
  ; 
  all 
  that 
  tract 
  of 
  country 
  lying 
  on 
  the 
  

   north 
  of 
  Lake 
  Erie, 
  and 
  northwest 
  of 
  Lake 
  Ontario, 
  and 
  between 
  

   the 
  lakes 
  Ontario 
  and 
  Huron." 
  

  

  " 
  Inca-pah'-co 
  (anglice, 
  Lindermere) 
  is 
  so 
  called 
  by 
  the 
  Indians 
  

   from 
  its 
  forests 
  of 
  basswood, 
  or 
  American 
  linden. 
  It 
  is 
  better 
  

   known, 
  perhaps, 
  by 
  the 
  insipid 
  name 
  of 
  Long 
  lake." 
  Thus 
  Hoff- 
  

   man 
  commented 
  on 
  the 
  scene 
  of 
  his 
  story. 
  I 
  do 
  not 
  elsewhere 
  find 
  

   this 
  name 
  for 
  the 
  tree. 
  

  

  Ju-to-west'-hah, 
  hunting 
  place, 
  is 
  the 
  present 
  Onondaga 
  name 
  for 
  

   the 
  whole 
  wilderness. 
  

  

  Kag-ga-is 
  is 
  now 
  the 
  name 
  for 
  a 
  small 
  lake. 
  

   Kil'-lo-quaw. 
  Hoffman 
  gave 
  this 
  as 
  a 
  Mohawk 
  name, 
  meaning 
  

   rayed 
  like 
  the 
  sun, 
  and 
  called 
  it 
  Ragged 
  lake, 
  but 
  from 
  his 
  account 
  

   it 
  was 
  evidently 
  Racket 
  or 
  Raquette 
  lake. 
  This 
  is 
  corrupted 
  from 
  

   Karaghqua, 
  the 
  sun, 
  and 
  the 
  guidebooks 
  translate 
  it 
  lake 
  of 
  the 
  great 
  

   star- 
  Kelau-quaw 
  is 
  Gallatin's 
  word 
  for 
  the 
  sun, 
  and 
  Hoffman 
  

   followed 
  him. 
  

  

  Mi-a'-mi 
  creek. 
  A 
  western 
  name 
  has 
  been 
  applied 
  to 
  this 
  stream, 
  

   which 
  is 
  said 
  to 
  mean 
  mother 
  in 
  the 
  Ottawa 
  dialect. 
  This 
  seems 
  

   doubtful. 
  

  

  Mo-ha'-gan 
  pond, 
  near 
  Raquette 
  lake 
  has 
  a 
  name 
  corrupted 
  from 
  

   Mohegan. 
  

  

  Ne-ha-sa'-ne 
  lake 
  and 
  park, 
  crossing 
  on 
  a 
  stick 
  of 
  timber. 
  This 
  

   name 
  has 
  been 
  introduced 
  from 
  Lewis 
  county, 
  where 
  Morgan 
  

   assigns 
  it 
  to 
  Beaver 
  river. 
  It 
  'is 
  singularly 
  inappropriate 
  here, 
  but 
  

   there 
  are 
  many 
  such 
  names 
  for 
  hotels, 
  camps 
  and 
  lodges, 
  as 
  Neodak, 
  

   Neoskaleeta, 
  etc, 
  

  

  Nes'-singh, 
  a 
  sluggish 
  stream 
  mentioned

  Hoffman, 
  and 
  appar-
