  De-a-wone'-da-ga-han'-da 
  is 
  Morgan's 
  name 
  for 
  Wolfe 
  island. 
  

  

  Ga-hu'-a-go-je-twa-da-a'-lote, 
  fort 
  at 
  the 
  mouth 
  of 
  the 
  great 
  river, 
  

   is 
  his 
  name 
  for 
  Sacketts 
  Harbor, 
  referring 
  to 
  the 
  military 
  post 
  there. 
  

   The 
  first 
  four 
  syllables 
  refer 
  to 
  the 
  river, 
  which 
  is 
  not 
  expressly 
  

   called 
  great. 
  

  

  Ga-na-wa'-ga, 
  the 
  rapid 
  river, 
  is 
  applied 
  to 
  the 
  St 
  Lawrence 
  by 
  

   Morgan. 
  David 
  Cusick 
  called 
  it 
  Kanawage, 
  and 
  it 
  has 
  other 
  slightly 
  

   differing 
  forms, 
  the 
  name 
  being 
  used 
  in 
  many 
  places. 
  

  

  Ga-nen-tou'-ta, 
  or 
  Assumption 
  river 
  of 
  the 
  French, 
  is 
  on 
  Sauthier's 
  

   map 
  and 
  seems 
  to 
  be 
  Stony 
  creek, 
  south 
  of 
  Traverse 
  bay. 
  Genen- 
  

   tota 
  varies 
  but 
  slightly 
  from 
  this. 
  A. 
  Cusick 
  defines 
  this 
  as 
  pine 
  

   trees 
  standing 
  up, 
  a 
  name 
  closely 
  resembling 
  that 
  of 
  Canastota. 
  

  

  Ka-hen-gouet-ta, 
  mentioned 
  on 
  Gallinee's 
  map 
  of 
  1669, 
  is 
  now 
  

   Chaumont 
  bay. 
  It 
  is 
  sometimes 
  written 
  Kohenguetta. 
  A. 
  Cusick 
  

   translated 
  this 
  where 
  they 
  smoked 
  tobacco, 
  fishing 
  and 
  hunting 
  

   parties 
  often 
  meeting 
  there. 
  

  

  Ka-hu-ah'-go, 
  great 
  or 
  wide 
  river, 
  is 
  Morgan's 
  name 
  for 
  Black 
  

   river 
  and 
  Watertown. 
  In 
  this 
  simple 
  form 
  it 
  is 
  the 
  river, 
  great 
  by 
  

   implication 
  rather 
  than 
  expression. 
  The 
  Onondagas 
  add 
  the 
  

   adjective 
  and 
  make 
  it 
  Ka-hu-wa-go'-na, 
  great 
  river. 
  The 
  Tusca- 
  

   roras 
  call 
  it 
  Ka-sha-ka'-ka. 
  It 
  is 
  probable 
  that 
  Kaghiohage, 
  an 
  

   Oneida 
  fishing 
  place 
  in 
  1700, 
  which 
  was 
  12 
  miles 
  from 
  Lake 
  Omailo 
  

   and 
  one 
  and 
  one-half 
  days' 
  journey 
  from 
  Oneida, 
  may 
  have 
  been 
  

   the 
  same. 
  The 
  name 
  is 
  often 
  used 
  for 
  a 
  large 
  river, 
  as 
  the 
  Cuya- 
  

   hoga 
  in 
  Ohio. 
  Through 
  a 
  misprint 
  in 
  Squier's 
  account 
  of 
  local 
  

   antiquities, 
  it 
  was 
  given 
  as 
  Ka-me-har-go, 
  afterward 
  condensed 
  by 
  

   others 
  into 
  kamargo, 
  thus 
  changing 
  an 
  Iroquois 
  into 
  an 
  Algonquin 
  

   word 
  and 
  utterly 
  destroying 
  the 
  sense. 
  

  

  Ka-wen-i-oun-i-oun 
  is 
  on 
  Gallinee's 
  map, 
  south 
  of 
  and 
  near 
  the 
  

   Thousand 
  islands. 
  

  

  Mus-ca-longe 
  lake 
  and 
  bay 
  are 
  called 
  from 
  that 
  fish, 
  and 
  both 
  an 
  

   Indian 
  and 
  French 
  origin 
  have 
  been 
  claimed 
  for 
  the 
  name. 
  

  

  Ni-a-ou-re 
  bay 
  was 
  so 
  called 
  in 
  1756, 
  but 
  this 
  appears 
  in 
  several 
  

   forms. 
  It 
  is 
  now 
  called 
  Chaumont 
  after 
  Le 
  Ray 
  de 
  Chaumont, 
  who 
  

   was 
  a 
  French 
  gentleman 
  owning 
  large 
  tracts 
  of 
  land. 
  On 
  the 
  

   map 
  of 
  the 
  New 
  Hampshire 
  grants 
  it 
  is 
  Niawerne, 
  while 
  Sauthier 
  

   makes 
  it 
  Niaouenre 
  or 
  Nivernois 
  bay. 
  The 
  last 
  name 
  is 
  supposed
