On the east shore of the island, along this line of the pathway thus described, there were some apparently desirable sites for Indian occupancy, such as at Kips bay, Turtle bay; and doubtless along the bluffs facing Blackwells island could have been found by interested observers in years gone by, the sites of fishing camps. But none of our predecessors in historical investigation seem have been sufficiently to interested in the subject to conduct any exploration or to make any record of such traces, and so the long, sheltered shoreline with its desirable fishing facilities,

from Corlears hook to 105th street, is devoid of definite native associations.

AND MONOGRAPHS

III.-- UPPER MANHATTAN PATHS (Maps IV and V)

A T 105TH street a neck of land extended south of Harlem into East river, kill

known as Rechewanis or Rechewas point (5), owned by the Reckgawawanc, and sold in 1669 by Reckgawack and others to De la Montagne. The native village was known as "Konaande kongh" and was probably situated on the high ground between Madison and Lexington avenues at 98th to 100th streets. Access from the path, which ran in Central Park north of 88th street, was doubtless by a branch leaving the main trail near 95th street and crossing Fifth

avenue somewhere near 96th street. A study of the topography of the locality is presented in Map IV. The name of this native station is recorded in. the deed for the sale of Rechewanis in 1669, though it has been misapplied to Harlem creek. Mr Harrington suggests
