Another map, supposed to be the' work of the engineer F'ran- 
quelin (1681) calls Wisconsin “Miskous.” So does Joliet in 
his Carte* Generate, where he defines the Riviere de Messissipi. 
Joliet’s smaller map (in the Archives Marine' Paris) bears the 
same nomenclature. Another anonymous map in the Parkman 
collection designates Lake Mitchiganong ou des Illinois. Lake 
Winnebago is designated as Lake Kitchigamenque, ou Lac St. 
P rancois. 
Joliet’s map of 1673-74, which is the earliest that includes 
the Mississippi from actual knowledge!, bears these terms : Lac 
Superieur. Baye des Puans. Lac des Illinois ou Missihi- 
ganin. Riviere Miskonsing. Riviere de Buade. (Lake Win¬ 
nebago is not designated.) 
Marquette’s map: R. de la Conception. Lac des Illinois. 
Lac Superieur ou DeTracy. (Ho name is given the Wiscon¬ 
sin and none Lake Winnebago.) There is a map given in 
Thevenot as Marquettes’s, but it is spurious.

The first time the name Mississippi appeared in print was 
in a Jesuit Relation. Claude Allouez had heard from Indians 
sojourning at his Chequamegon chapel of bark of a great stream 
which they termed Me-sipi. The Irocuois Indians, whose 
habitations were in what is now Hew York, called this river 
Gastacha. In Priar Hennepin’s narrative, this river is called
