  Naples, 
  with 
  a 
  tradition 
  that 
  the 
  Senecas 
  originated 
  there. 
  Hence 
  

   the 
  name 
  is 
  translated 
  people 
  of 
  the 
  hill. 
  The 
  location 
  is 
  evidently 
  

   wrong 
  in 
  connection 
  with 
  the 
  story, 
  which 
  clearly 
  belongs 
  to 
  Bare 
  

   Hill, 
  on 
  the 
  east 
  shore 
  of 
  Canandaigua 
  lake. 
  Seaver 
  tells 
  the 
  story 
  

   of 
  the 
  great 
  serpent 
  there 
  in 
  his 
  account 
  of 
  Mary 
  Jemison, 
  but 
  it 
  

   is 
  well 
  known 
  on 
  all 
  the 
  New 
  York 
  reservations. 
  

  

  Ka-shong' 
  creek 
  had 
  many 
  names 
  in 
  the 
  journals 
  of 
  the 
  Sullivan 
  

   campaign, 
  or 
  rather 
  the 
  village 
  destroyed 
  there 
  had. 
  Among 
  these 
  

   were 
  Gaghsonghgwa, 
  Gaghasieanhgwe, 
  Gaghsiungua, 
  Kashanqi 
  ash, 
  

   etc. 
  The 
  present 
  name 
  has 
  been 
  interpreted 
  the 
  limb 
  has 
  fallen. 
  

  

  Ke-u'-ka, 
  boats 
  drawn 
  out, 
  is 
  now 
  commonly 
  applied 
  to 
  Crooked 
  

   lake. 
  The 
  name 
  probably 
  alluded 
  to 
  a 
  portage 
  across 
  Bluff 
  point, 
  

   and 
  differs 
  little 
  from 
  Cayuga 
  in 
  its 
  proper 
  sound. 
  

  

  O-go'-ya-ga, 
  promontory 
  extending 
  into 
  the 
  lake. 
  This 
  also 
  ap- 
  

   proximates 
  Cayuga 
  and 
  Keuka 
  in 
  primitive 
  sound, 
  and 
  may 
  be 
  com- 
  

   pared 
  with 
  D. 
  Cusick's 
  definition 
  of 
  Goiogogh 
  or 
  Cayuga, 
  mountain 
  

   rising 
  from 
  the 
  water. 
  

  

  The 
  common 
  name 
  of 
  Seneca 
  lake 
  has 
  already 
  been 
  considered. 
  

   It 
  had 
  several 
  others. 
  

  

  She-nan-wa'-ga 
  was 
  a 
  name 
  given 
  to 
  Kashong 
  in 
  several 
  journals 
  

   of 
  the 
  Sullivan 
  campaign, 
  and 
  is 
  distinct 
  from 
  those 
  in 
  which 
  the 
  

   present 
  name 
  can 
  be 
  traced. 
  In 
  fact 
  in 
  one 
  it 
  is 
  given 
  as 
  an 
  alter- 
  

   nate 
  name. 
  

  

  GENERAL

  NEW 
  YORK 
  

  

  There 
  are 
  some 
  names 
  of 
  a 
  general 
  character, 
  or 
  which 
  can 
  not 
  

   now 
  be 
  assigned 
  to 
  their 
  proper 
  places. 
  Among 
  these 
  are 
  those 
  

   mentioned 
  as 
  villages 
  of 
  the 
  three 
  principal 
  Iroquois 
  clans 
  in 
  one 
  

   of 
  the 
  condoling 
  songs, 
  which 
  follow 
  as 
  given 
  in 
  my 
  Canadian 
  copy. 
  

   To 
  the 
  Turtle 
  tribe 
  is 
  given 
  Ka-ne-sa-da-keh, 
  on 
  the 
  hillside, 
  which 
  

   was 
  long 
  the 
  name 
  of 
  a 
  village 
  near 
  Montreal, 
  taken 
  there 
  by 
  Mo- 
  

   hawk 
  emigrants. 
  Other 
  early 
  villages 
  of 
  this 
  clan 
  were 
  On-kwe-i- 
  

   ye-de, 
  a 
  person 
  standing 
  there, 
  Wagh-ker-hon, 
  Ka-hen-doh-hon, 
  

   Tho-gwen-yah 
  and 
  Kagh-hi-kwa-ra-ke. 
  

  

  To 
  the 
  Wolf 
  clan 
  are 
  assigned 
  Kar-he-tyon-ni, 
  the 
  broad 
  woods; 
  

   Ogh-ska-wa-se-ron-hon, 
  grown 
  up 
  to 
  bushes 
  again; 
  Gea-ti-yo, 
  beau- 
  

   tiful 
  plain; 
  O-nen-yo-te, 
  protruding 
  stone; 
  Deh-se-ro-kenh, 
  between 
  

   two 
  lines; 
  Degh-ho-hi-jen-ha-ra-kwen, 
  two 
  families 
  in 
  a 
  long 
  house,
