A more satisfactory definition of the name applied to this hilltop station than has been heretofore suggested, is found in the Delaware mbinishkeu, or as it appears in its Natick form, nip-nishkeneunque, signifying muddy or dirty water. This could be • very reasonably applied to the rain-water pond which in certain seasons filled the hollow space back of the site of the old -- Tippett dwelling. M. R. Harrington. 16. Bolton, R.

17. Raxachqua. The Ranach qua tract, which formed the apex of the great peninsula covered by Westchester county, was significantly described by its native name, evidently derived from the Delaware wunaXkwaloye, "the extreme end." M. R. Harrington. 18. Jenkins, Stephen, Story of the Bronx, p. 214.
