  Ka-hi'-agh-a-ge 
  and 
  Ke-yon-an-oua-gue 
  are 
  Pouchot's

  Kah-skungh-sa'-ka, 
  many 
  falls 
  following, 
  is 
  the 
  present 
  Onondaga 
  

   name 
  of 
  Oswego 
  Falls, 
  and 
  may 
  be 
  compared 
  with 
  some 
  already 
  

   given. 
  A 
  variant 
  occurs 
  in 
  David 
  Cusick's 
  history 
  : 
  " 
  By 
  some 
  in- 
  

   ducement 
  a 
  body 
  of 
  people 
  was 
  concealed 
  in 
  the 
  mountain 
  at 
  the 
  

   falls 
  named 
  Kr.skehsawkich, 
  (now 
  Oswego). 
  When 
  the 
  people 
  

   were 
  released 
  from 
  the 
  mountain 
  they 
  were 
  visitd 
  by 
  Tarenya 
  wagon, 
  

   i. 
  e., 
  the 
  holder 
  of 
  the 
  heavens." 
  

  

  Ka-na-ta-gi-rcn 
  was 
  defined 
  for 
  me 
  as 
  the 
  creek 
  is 
  already 
  there. 
  

   It 
  was 
  applied 
  to 
  a 
  small 
  creek 
  between 
  Sandy 
  creek 
  in 
  Jefferson 
  

   county 
  and 
  Salmon 
  river. 
  

  

  Ka-so-ag, 
  the 
  naive 
  of 
  a 
  postoffice 
  in 
  Williamstown, 
  may 
  be 
  from 
  

   Kesuk 
  or 
  Kayshaik, 
  the 
  sky, 
  an 
  Algonquin 
  word. 
  The 
  only 
  

   Iroquois 
  words 
  suggesting 
  this 
  to 
  me 
  are 
  kasah, 
  a 
  burden 
  strap, 
  

   to 
  which 
  might 
  be 
  added 
  the 
  locative 
  aug 
  or 
  aga 
  ; 
  and 
  soak, 
  a 
  duck, 
  

   which 
  is 
  less 
  probable. 
  

  

  Kuh-na-ta'-ha, 
  where 
  pine 
  trees 
  grow, 
  is 
  the 
  presert 
  Indian 
  name 
  

   of 
  Phoenix, 
  there 
  being 
  a 
  fine 
  native 
  grove 
  of 
  these 
  on 
  the 
  river 
  

   bank. 
  

  

  Mr 
  J. 
  V. 
  H. 
  Clark 
  made 
  an 
  error 
  in 
  applying 
  the 
  names 
  of 
  

   Quiehook 
  and 
  Ka^newagrage 
  to 
  places 
  on 
  Oswego 
  river. 
  They 
  

   belong 
  to 
  Chittenango 
  creek. 
  

  

  Ly-com-ing 
  is 
  a 
  name 
  introduced 
  from 
  Pennsylvania, 
  and 
  is 
  said 
  

   to 
  mean 
  sandy 
  creek 
  by 
  Heckewelder, 
  who 
  derives 
  it 
  from 
  leganiton. 
  

   The 
  resemblance 
  is 
  not 
  very 
  clear 
  and 
  a 
  derivation 
  from 
  lekau, 
  

   gravel, 
  with 
  locative, 
  seems 
  better. 
  

  

  Mexico 
  is 
  an 
  introduced 
  name, 
  from 
  Mexitli, 
  the 
  Mexican 
  god 
  of 
  

   war. 
  

  

  Ne-at-a-want'-ha 
  is 
  defined 
  by 
  A. 
  Cusick 
  as 
  lake 
  hiding 
  from 
  

   river. 
  This 
  is 
  a 
  small 
  lake 
  a 
  little 
  west 
  of 
  Oswego 
  Falls.
