  ently 
  between 
  Hurricane 
  mountain 
  and 
  White 
  Face. 
  It 
  may 
  have 
  

   its 
  name 
  from 
  nashin, 
  it 
  makes 
  an 
  angle. 
  

  

  Nu-shi-o'-na 
  was 
  a 
  valley 
  mentioned 
  by 
  Hoffman 
  between 
  Long 
  

   lake 
  and 
  the 
  head 
  waters 
  of 
  the 
  Sacondaga. 
  Nehsoha 
  is 
  Gallatin's 
  

   word 
  for 
  night. 
  

  

  Pi-se'-co 
  lake 
  is 
  said 
  to 
  have 
  been 
  thus 
  called 
  from 
  an 
  Indian 
  

   named 
  Pezeeko, 
  from 
  pisco, 
  a 
  fish. 
  If 
  so 
  the 
  word 
  is 
  seldom 
  found 
  

   with 
  this 
  meaning, 
  but 
  agrees 
  better 
  with 
  a 
  word 
  referring 
  to 
  miry 
  

   places. 
  Spafford 
  said 
  : 
  " 
  Peezeko 
  lake 
  bears 
  the 
  name 
  of 
  a 
  singu- 
  

   lar 
  and 
  venerable 
  old 
  Indian, 
  who 
  lived 
  alone, 
  for 
  a 
  long 
  time, 
  on 
  

   its 
  shores, 
  a 
  sort 
  of 
  hermit 
  from 
  the 
  ranks 
  of 
  savage 
  life, 
  for 
  some 
  

   cause 
  unknown 
  to 
  the 
  few 
  white 
  people 
  who 
  knew 
  him." 
  French 
  

   said 
  it 
  was 
  named 
  by 
  Joshua 
  Brown, 
  a 
  surveyor, 
  from 
  an 
  Indian 
  

   chief 
  of 
  his 
  acquaintance. 
  The 
  name 
  is 
  Algonquin, 
  and 
  the 
  O 
  jib- 
  

   was 
  call 
  the 
  buffalo 
  Pe-zhe-ke. 
  

  

  Pi-wa-ket 
  or 
  Pickwacket 
  lake, 
  from 
  pewe, 
  little, 
  and 
  ohkit, 
  place. 
  

  

  Sabattis 
  mountain 
  has 
  its 
  name 
  from 
  an 
  Indian 
  guide, 
  but 
  is 
  not 
  

   an 
  Indian 
  word, 
  being 
  abbreviated 
  from 
  St 
  Baptist. 
  

  

  Sa-con-da'-ga, 
  the 
  drowned 
  or 
  swampy 
  land, 
  has 
  been 
  mentioned, 
  

   and 
  the 
  river 
  had 
  its 
  name 
  from 
  this. 
  

  

  Ta-co-la'-go 
  lake 
  has 
  an 
  introduced 
  name. 
  

  

  Tes-su'-ya 
  is 
  described 
  by 
  Hoffman 
  as 
  having 
  cedar 
  islands, 
  and 
  

   the 
  name 
  is 
  contracted 
  from 
  that 
  for 
  white 
  cedar, 
  termed 
  by 
  the 
  

   Onondagas 
  feather 
  leaf. 
  

  

  Ti-o-ra-tie, 
  the 
  sky 
  or 
  skylike, 
  as 
  defined 
  by 
  Hoffman, 
  who 
  calls 
  

   it 
  a 
  Mohawk 
  word 
  and 
  refers 
  it 
  to 
  a 
  lake. 
  The 
  word 
  for 
  sky 
  is 
  

   quite 
  different, 
  but 
  the 
  Cayuga 
  word 
  teyohate, 
  or 
  light, 
  is 
  probably 
  

   the 
  one 
  intended, 
  differing 
  from 
  the 
  equivalent 
  Mohawk 
  word 
  

   teyoswathe. 
  Zeisberger 
  defines 
  the 
  Onondaga 
  word 
  tiorate 
  as 
  a 
  

   small 
  wind. 
  

  

  To-war-loon'-dah, 
  hill 
  of 
  storms, 
  Hoffman 
  said 
  was 
  supposed 
  to 
  

   be 
  Mt 
  Emmons, 
  and 
  to 
  this 
  the 
  name 
  is 
  now 
  usually 
  assigned, 
  

   though 
  Sylvester 
  applies 
  it 
  to 
  Blue 
  mountain. 
  Towaloondeh 
  is 
  

   simply 
  storm 
  in 
  Gallatin's 
  list. 
  

  

  Tu-ne-sa'-sah, 
  place 
  of 
  pebbles, 
  is 
  one 
  of 
  Hoffman's 
  names 
  which 
  

   occurs 
  elsewhere; 
  Twe-nun-gas-ko, 
  double 
  voice, 
  is 
  another 
  of 
  Hoff- 
  

   man's 
  referring 
  to 
  the 
  echo 
  in 
  a 
  glen.
