  original 
  of 
  the 
  preceding, 
  and 
  Sylvester 
  applies 
  it 
  to 
  the 
  Batten 
  kill 
  

   near 
  Fort 
  Miller. 
  It 
  was 
  written 
  Dionondehowe 
  in 
  1709, 
  and 
  prop- 
  

   erly 
  belongs 
  to 
  the 
  creek. 
  A. 
  Cnsick 
  defined 
  it, 
  she 
  opens 
  the 
  door 
  

   for 
  them. 
  

  

  Hoo-sick 
  river 
  is 
  partly 
  in 
  this 
  county. 
  

  

  Spafford 
  said 
  of 
  Whitehall 
  : 
  " 
  The 
  Northern 
  Indians 
  named 
  this 
  

   place, 
  Kah-cha-quah-na, 
  the 
  place 
  where 
  dip 
  fish, 
  at 
  the 
  foot 
  of 
  the 
  

   falls, 
  near 
  the 
  Village." 
  This 
  seems 
  an 
  Iroquois 
  word. 
  

  

  Ka-non-do-ro 
  has 
  been 
  applied 
  to 
  the 
  Narrows 
  of 
  Lake 
  Cham- 
  

   plain, 
  but 
  Capt. 
  John 
  Schuyler 
  called 
  a 
  place 
  north 
  of 
  Crown 
  Point 
  

   by 
  this 
  name 
  in 
  1690. 
  

  

  Kin-gi-a-qua-to-nec, 
  a 
  short 
  portage 
  between 
  Fort 
  Edward 
  and 
  

   Wood 
  creeks, 
  in 
  Kingsbury. 
  

  

  Mag-kan-e-we-ick 
  creek 
  was 
  mentioned 
  in 
  1688, 
  some 
  Scaghti- 
  

   coke 
  Indians 
  being 
  there. 
  

  

  Met-to-wee 
  or 
  Pawlet 
  river 
  is 
  in 
  Granville. 
  From 
  meetwe, 
  a 
  

   poplar, 
  or 
  metewis, 
  black 
  earth. 
  

  

  On-da-wa 
  was 
  a 
  name 
  for 
  White 
  creek 
  in 
  the 
  town 
  of 
  the 
  same 
  

   name. 
  A. 
  Cusick 
  defined 
  this 
  coming 
  again. 
  

  

  On-der-i-gue-gon, 
  the 
  drowned 
  lands 
  on 
  Wood 
  creek, 
  near 
  Fort 
  

   Ann. 
  Holden 
  quotes 
  Pownall 
  as 
  defining 
  this 
  conflux 
  of 
  waters, 
  

   but 
  this 
  may 
  be 
  a 
  misquotation. 
  

  

  Pe-to-wah-co, 
  Sabele's 
  name 
  for 
  Lake 
  Champlain, 
  seems 
  to 
  mean 
  

   mountain 
  lake. 
  

  

  Pit-tow-ba-gonk, 
  the 
  name 
  given 
  by 
  Sabattis, 
  seems 
  a 
  corruption 
  

   of 
  the 
  last, 
  but 
  may 
  be 
  another 
  word. 
  Palmer 
  has 
  it 
  Petawa- 
  

   bouque, 
  defined 
  as 
  alternate 
  land 
  and 
  water, 
  and 
  gives 
  another 
  form 
  

   as 
  Petow-pargow 
  or 
  great 
  water. 
  Watson 
  made 
  it 
  Petaonbough, 
  

   lake 
  branching 
  into 
  two. 
  Sabele's 
  name 
  seems 
  from 
  petau, 
  enter- 
  

   ing, 
  and 
  wadchu, 
  mountain, 
  and 
  is 
  to 
  be 
  preferred. 
  

  

  Po-dunk 
  brook 
  is 
  in 
  the 
  town 
  of 
  Fort 
  Ann, 
  and 
  the 
  name 
  is 
  found 
  

   in 
  New 
  England 
  and 
  on 
  Long 
  Island. 
  It 
  may 
  refer 
  to 
  a 
  place 
  

   where 
  something 
  is 
  brought, 
  or 
  be 
  derived 
  from 
  petunk, 
  to 
  put 
  

   anything 
  into 
  a 
  bag. 
  Perhaps 
  a 
  better 
  meaning 
  would 
  be 
  clean 
  

   place. 
  

  

  Pom-pa-nuck, 
  a 
  place 
  for 
  sports, 
  is 
  now 
  Pumpkin 
  Hook 
  creek 
  in 
  

   the 
  town 
  of 
  White 
  Creek. 
  French 
  observes 
  that 
  this 
  is 
  said 
  to 
  be
