Arackook, Kachawaweek, and Oghgotacton are record but unlocated names of places on the east side of the Wallkill, by some presumed to have been in the vicinity of Walden, Orange County, from the description : "Beginning at a fall called Arackook and running thence northwesterly on the east side of Paltz Creek until it comes to Kachawaweek." The petitioner for the tract was Robert Sanders, a noted interpreter, who renewed his peitition in 1702, calling the tract Oghgotacton, and presented a claim to title from a chief called Corporwin, as the representative of his brother Pungiianis, "Who had been ten years gone to the Ottowawas." He again gave the description, "Beginning at the fall called Arackook," but there is no trace of the location of the patent in the vicinity of Walden.

I40 INDIAN GEOGRAPHICAL NAMES.

Hashdisch was quoted by the late John W. Hasbrouck, of Kingston, as the name of what has long been known as "The High Falls of the Wallkill" at Wakien. Authority not stated, but presumably met by Mr. Hasbrouck in local records. It may be from Asbp. Hesp, etc., "High," and -ish, derogative. The falls descend in cascades and rapids about eighty feet at an angle of forty-five degrees. Though their primary appearance has been marred by dams and mills, they' are still impressive in freshet seasons. Twischsawkin is quoted as the name of the Wallkill at some place in New Jerse3^ On Sauthier's miap it stands wihere two small ponds are represented and seems to have reference to the outlet. Twisch may be an equivalent of TiscJi, "Strong," and Sawkin may be an equivalent of Heckewelder's Sancon, "Outle't," or mouth of a river, pond, etc. Wallkill, the name of the stream as now written, is an anglicism of Dutch Waal, "Haven, gulf, depth,"' etc., and Kil, "Ohannel" or water-course.
