Waronawanka, Carte Figurative 1614-16--_Warrawannan-koncks,_ Wassenaer, 1621-5; _Warranawankongs,_ De Laet, 1621-5, and _Waranawankcougys,_ 1633; _Waranawankongs,_ Van der Donck, 1656; _Waerinnewongh,_ local, 1677--is located on the Carte Figurative on the west side of the Hudson a few miles north of latitude 42. On Van der Donck's map it is placed on the west side between Pollepel's Island and the Dans Kamer. De Laet wrote in his "New World" (Leyden edition): "This reach [Vischer's, covering Newburgh Bay] extends to another narrow pass, where, on the west side of the river, there is a point of land juts out covered with sand, opposite a bend in the river on which another nation of savages called the _Waoranecks,_ have their abode at a place called Esopus. A little beyond, on the west side of the river, where there is a creek, and the river becomes more shallow, the _Waranawankongs_ reside. Here are several small islands." In his French and Latin edition, 1633-40, the reading is: "A little beyond where projects a sandy point and the river becomes narrower, there is a place called Esopus, where the _Waoranekys_ have their abode. To them succeed, after a short interval, the _Waranawancougys_, on the opposite side of the river." Read together there would seem to be no doubt that the _Waoranecks_ were seated on or around the cove or bay at Low Point and the estuary of Wappingers' Creek, and that the _Waranatwankongs_ were seated at and around the cove or bay at Kingston Point, "Where a creek comes in and the river becomes more shallow." Of the meaning of the name Dr. A. S. Gatschet, of the Bureau of Ethnology, wrote me: "If the _Warana-wan-ka_ lived on a bay or cove of Hudson's River, their name is certainly from _Walina,_ which means 'hollowing, concave site,' and 'cove, bay,' in several eastern languages. A good parallel are the _Wawenocks_ of S. W. Maine, now living at St. Francis, who call themselves _Walinaki,_ or those living on a cove--'cove dwellers'--in referring to their old home on the Atlantic coast near Portland. In the Micmac (N. S.) dialect _Walini_ is 'bay, cove,' and even the large Bay of Fundy is called so. The meaning of _k_ or _ka_ is not clear, but _ong,_ in the later forms, is the locative 'at, on, upon.'"
