Hayti, struck with its great size, called it Quisqueia, which in 
their language signifies exceedingly great; but afterwards gave 
it the name of Hayti, from the craggy mountains that were in 
it.” Martinique was one of the chain of smaller islands inhab- 
ited by the Carribees, but which, as has been observed, they 
conquered from the Arrowacks. It was perhaps the invasion 
of them by the Carribees that produced the strifes and seditions 
im Martinique mentioned in the tradition as having caused the 
Arrowacks inhabiting it to remove to Hayti.
