Lindstrom's Naratic-on, on the lower Delaware, was probably Cape May, and an equivalent substantially of the New England Nayantiikq-iit, "A point on a tidal river," and Raritan was the point of the peninsulla which the clan occupied terminating on Raritan Bay, where, probably, the name was first met by Dutch navigators. The dialectic exchange o'f N and R, and of the surd tmutes k and t are clear in comparing Nanakan on. the Hudson, Naratic-on on the Delaware, and Raritan on the Raritan. Van der Donck's map locates the clan bearing the name in four villages at and above the junction of a branch of the stream at New Brunswick, N. J., where there is a certain point as well as on Raritan Bay. The clan was conspicuous in the early days of Dutch New Netherland. Van Tienhoven wrote that it had been compelled to remove further inland on account of freshets, but mainly from its inability to resist the raids of the southern Indians ; that the lands whidh they left unoccupied was between "two high moimtains far distant from one to the other ;" that it was "the handsomest and pleasantest country that man can bdhold." The great southern trunk-line Indian path led throug'h this valley, and was then, as it is now, the great route of travel between the northern and the southern coast. (See Nanakan, Nyack-on-the-Hudson, and Orange.) Orange, a familiar name in eastern New Jersey and supposed to refer to the two mountains that bound the Raritan Valley, may have been from the name of a sachem or place or both. In Breeden Raedt it is written : "The delegates from all the savage tribes, such as the Raritans, w'hose chiefs called themselves Oringkes from Orange." Oringkes seems to be a form of Oivinickes, from Owini, N.
