Shippa (Map VII, B). Now Davenports neck. A large station of the Siwanoy. 27. Echo bay (Map VII, B). New Rochelle. At Echo bay and in Hudson Park remains indicate Indian occupancy. 50. Shanscomacocke (Map VIII, D). A large Indian village and burying-ground on the shore of the Strome kill, Gerritsen basin, or Ryders Pond, Flatlands. Explored by D. B. Austin. Many objects plowed up in the course of cultivation in the vicinity are in possession of Mr. Ryder, resident nearby. 51. Canarsee (Map VIII, D). The principal station of the chieftaincy known by that name. This is supposed to have been situated at or near the present locality known as Canarsie; but there being no natural water supply, it is evident that the name was that of a locality, probably including the whole neck, on which were extensive plantinggrounds. The station, as indicated by native objects discovered, was in the vicinity of Canarsie Beach Park, east of the line of Avenue M. The tract to the north and west is marked on old city maps as the "Canarsee planting land." The real headquarters of the tribe appears to have been Keskaechquerem (104). 52. Winippague (Map VIII, D). The modern Bergen beach. Some native objects,

Austin states that these beds cover the area of the center of the island, and that they were probably debris from the manufacture of wampum. 53. Flushing (Map I) Site of a large village .
