Canapaukah, which seems to indicate a shut-in water place, was later known as Dutch kills. This inlet extended in to the heart of Long Island City, its source being near the approach to the Queensboro bridge at Rapelye and Freeman avenues. Armbruster considers the name to indicate a bears' water place, and thinks that this was indication of Canarsee ownership. The southwest extension of the creek was known as Quandoequareous. Its tortuous course extends inland as far as Tohn-

City and its environs to Corona, a great tract of forest land extended to Flushing bay. This was known to the natives as Wandowenock, which Armbruster defines as "the fine land between the long streams" of East river and Flushing bay. The only known station within this broad region is at Ravenswood Park (111), on the bank of the east channel of East river, where a shellheap indicates native residence, and some native objects were discovered by W. L. Calver. It is not possible to suggest any particular line of trail connecting this place with Mispat. The path, if such there was, wound its way through the timber, which in later years was all cut off, through the narrow neck of dry land between the heads of the Sunwick and Canapaukah creeks, near the present entrance to the approach of the Queensboro bridge. The name of the "creek, called Sunwick," means "a stone house," according to Tooker, and is another illustration of the Indian practice of applying to contiguous waters the designation of abutting territory.
