  Ga-nun-ta-sko'-na, 
  large 
  bark, 
  and 
  applied 
  it 
  to 
  Salmon 
  creek. 
  He 
  

   should 
  have 
  written 
  it 
  Gasuntaskona, 
  as 
  it 
  appears 
  on 
  his 
  map. 
  It 
  

   has 
  also 
  been 
  given 
  as 
  Gassonta 
  Chegonar. 
  On 
  the 
  map 
  of 
  Charle- 
  

   voix 
  Salmon 
  creek 
  is 
  R. 
  de 
  la 
  Grosse 
  Ecorce. 
  

  

  Ca-ta-ra'-qui 
  or 
  Cadaraqui 
  lake, 
  is 
  Ga-dai-o'-que, 
  fort 
  in 
  the 
  

   water, 
  in 
  Morgan's 
  list 
  and 
  is 
  applied 
  to 
  Kingston. 
  This 
  was 
  the 
  

   Onondaga 
  name 
  for 
  Fort 
  Frontenac, 
  and 
  thence 
  for 
  Lake 
  Ontario. 
  

   At 
  one 
  time 
  the 
  English 
  used 
  this 
  name 
  exclusively. 
  

  

  Caugh-de-noy', 
  eel 
  lying 
  down, 
  is 
  Quaquendena 
  on 
  Sauthier's 
  

   map, 
  and 
  has 
  been 
  already 
  noticed. 
  

  

  De-non-ta'-che 
  is 
  either 
  Oswego 
  or 
  Salmon 
  river 
  on 
  an 
  early 
  map, 
  

   probably 
  the 
  former. 
  D. 
  Cusick 
  applied 
  nearly 
  the 
  same 
  name 
  to 
  

   the 
  Mohawk, 
  calling 
  it 
  " 
  Yenonanatche, 
  i. 
  e., 
  going 
  round 
  a 
  moun- 
  

   tain." 
  It 
  is 
  probable 
  that 
  the 
  first 
  letter 
  in 
  this 
  should 
  be 
  T. 
  

  

  En-tou-ho-no'-rons 
  or 
  Antouhonorons 
  was 
  Champlain's 
  name 
  for 
  

   Lake 
  Ontario, 
  as 
  he 
  entered 
  Oswego 
  county 
  in 
  1615. 
  It 
  is 
  from 
  

   the 
  name 
  of 
  the 
  Seneca 
  nation, 
  with 
  whom 
  the 
  Onondagas 
  were 
  

   sometimes 
  classed. 
  

  

  Ga-hen-wa'-ga, 
  a 
  creek, 
  is 
  Morgan's 
  name 
  for 
  Salmon 
  river 
  and 
  

   Pulaski, 
  being 
  a 
  variant 
  of 
  a 
  name 
  already 
  given 
  and 
  like 
  the 
  next. 
  

  

  Ga-in-hou-a'-gue 
  was 
  a 
  French 
  form 
  of 
  the 
  same 
  name 
  in 
  1687, 
  

   applied 
  to 
  the 
  mouth 
  of 
  the 
  river. 
  In 
  1684 
  it 
  was 
  also 
  called 
  

   " 
  Kaionhouague, 
  where 
  the 
  council 
  was 
  held 
  " 
  between 
  De 
  la 
  Barre 
  

   and 
  the 
  Onondagas. 
  Some 
  have 
  erroneously 
  placed 
  this 
  farther 
  

   north. 
  

  

  Gal-kon-thi-a'-ge 
  was 
  one 
  form 
  of 
  the 
  name 
  of 
  Oswego 
  Falls 
  in 
  

   1686, 
  but 
  is 
  slightly 
  erroneous 
  in 
  spelling. 
  

  

  A 
  French 
  journal 
  of 
  1708 
  said: 
  "At 
  the 
  lower 
  end 
  of 
  the 
  river 
  

   of 
  Onnontagu6, 
  5 
  leagues 
  from 
  its 
  mouth, 
  is 
  a 
  place 
  called 
  Gascon- 
  

   chiage," 
  now 
  known 
  as 
  Oswego 
  Falls. 
  In 
  1726 
  the 
  French 
  again 
  

   mentioned 
  the 
  " 
  Fall 
  of 
  Gaston 
  chiague, 
  6 
  leagues 
  from 
  the 
  lake," 
  

   and 
  on 
  Oswego 
  river. 
  The 
  resemblance 
  to 
  the 
  name 
  of 
  Genesee 
  

   Falls 
  has 
  occasioned 
  some 
  confusion. 
  Thus 
  when 
  Gaskonchagon 
  

   was 
  in 
  question 
  in 
  1741, 
  O'Callaghan's 
  note 
  refers 
  the 
  name 
  to 
  

   Genesee 
  river, 
  whereas 
  it 
  was 
  the 
  Onondagas 
  in 
  this 
  case 
  who 
  

   thought 
  of 
  selling, 
  not 
  the 
  Senecas. 
  Gasquochsage 
  was 
  the 
  Mora- 
  

   vian 
  form 
  of 
  the 
  name. 
  Bruyas 
  has 
  Gaskonsage, 
  at 
  the 
  sault, 
  

   among 
  his 
  Mohawk 
  words, 
  and 
  said 
  it 
  was 
  thus 
  called 
  from 
  gas-
