  literally, 
  barks 
  in 
  the 
  water 
  or 
  a 
  place 
  where 
  barks 
  are 
  placed 
  after 
  

   being 
  peeled 
  in 
  spring, 
  that 
  they 
  may 
  not 
  curl 
  in 
  summer, 
  and 
  

   thereby 
  become 
  unfit 
  for 
  covering 
  their 
  cabins 
  for 
  winter, 
  or 
  that 
  

   they 
  may 
  always 
  be 
  in 
  readiness 
  for 
  use." 
  I 
  had 
  precisely 
  the 
  

   same 
  account 
  from 
  the 
  Indians. 
  The 
  town 
  of 
  Onondaga, 
  burned 
  

   in 
  1696, 
  was 
  on 
  the 
  east 
  side 
  of 
  the 
  creek, 
  near 
  the 
  present 
  reservoir. 
  

  

  Gis'-twe-ah-na, 
  little 
  man, 
  an 
  Indian 
  village 
  near 
  the 
  present 
  

   village 
  of 
  Onondaga 
  Valley, 
  according 
  to 
  Morgan. 
  This 
  location 
  

   of 
  a 
  village 
  seems 
  an 
  error, 
  the 
  nearest 
  town 
  being 
  on 
  Webster's 
  

   Mile 
  Square, 
  quite 
  a 
  distance 
  south. 
  The 
  allusion, 
  however, 
  is 
  to 
  

   the 
  ravines 
  west 
  of 
  Onondaga 
  Valley, 
  where 
  the 
  Indians 
  say 
  the 
  

   friendly 
  but 
  unseen 
  pigmies, 
  or 
  little 
  men, 
  lived 
  and 
  frolicked. 
  

  

  Goi-en-ho, 
  a 
  crossing 
  place, 
  was 
  a 
  name 
  for 
  Oneida 
  lake 
  in 
  1655. 
  

   It 
  has 
  been 
  mentioned 
  and 
  probably 
  belonged 
  to 
  Brewerton. 
  

  

  Ha-nan'-to, 
  small 
  hemlock 
  limbs 
  in 
  the 
  water, 
  is 
  Morgan's 
  name 
  

   for 
  Skaneateles 
  creek 
  and 
  Jordan. 
  An 
  old 
  map 
  has 
  the 
  same 
  name. 
  

   Clark 
  said 
  : 
  "It 
  is 
  called 
  Hanauttoo 
  — 
  water 
  running 
  through 
  thick 
  

   hemlocks, 
  or 
  hemlock 
  creek"; 
  an 
  appropriate 
  name. 
  Elias 
  Johnson 
  

   said 
  the 
  Tuscaroras 
  had 
  a 
  settlement 
  there, 
  called 
  Kan-ha-to, 
  limbs 
  

   in 
  the 
  water, 
  but 
  there 
  was 
  no 
  such 
  village. 
  

  

  Kach-na-wa-ra'-ge, 
  red 
  or 
  bloody 
  place, 
  was 
  a 
  ledge 
  on 
  Chit- 
  

   tenango 
  creek, 
  below 
  Butternut 
  in 
  1700. 
  Kaquewagrage 
  and 
  

   Kachnawaacharege 
  were 
  the 
  same. 
  Clark 
  erroneously 
  placed 
  the 
  

   name 
  at 
  Oswego 
  Falls 
  and 
  ascribed 
  it 
  to 
  Le 
  Mercier. 
  It 
  will 
  be 
  

   found 
  on 
  Romer's 
  map 
  and 
  in 
  the 
  account 
  of 
  his 
  journey. 
  

  

  Kah-che'-qua-ne-ung'-ta 
  is 
  Clark's 
  name 
  for 
  Onondaga 
  West 
  Hill, 
  

   and 
  he 
  added 
  : 
  "On 
  Mitchell's 
  map 
  of 
  the 
  British 
  and 
  French 
  do- 
  

   minions 
  in 
  America, 
  this 
  range 
  of 
  hills 
  is 
  called 
  ' 
  Tegerhunkserode 
  

   mountains,' 
  and 
  in 
  an 
  ancient 
  Dutch 
  map 
  they 
  are 
  called 
  the 
  ' 
  Table 
  

   mountains.' 
  ' 
  According 
  to 
  the 
  trust 
  deed 
  of 
  1726, 
  however, 
  

   Tegerhunckseroda 
  was 
  a 
  hill 
  of 
  the 
  Cayugas. 
  On 
  a 
  map 
  of 
  1839 
  

   Onondaga 
  Hill 
  appears 
  as 
  West 
  Hills. 
  Morgan 
  gives 
  the 
  full 
  prefix 
  

   to 
  the 
  name 
  first 
  mentioned, 
  making 
  it 
  Te-ga-che'-qua-ne-on-ta, 
  

   hammer 
  hanging. 
  The 
  allusion 
  is 
  now 
  forgotten. 
  

  

  Kah-ya-hoo'-neh. 
  where 
  the 
  ditch 
  full 
  of 
  water 
  goes 
  through, 
  is 
  

   one 
  of 
  Clark's 
  names 
  for 
  Syracuse. 
  

  

  Kah-yah-tak-ne-t'ke-tah'-keh, 
  where 
  the 
  mosquito 
  lies, 
  is 
  A. 
  

   Cusick's 
  name 
  for 
  Cicero 
  swamp 
  near 
  Centerville. 
  I 
  received 
  a
