Jamaica, now applied to a town, a village and a bay, was primarily given to the latter by the English colonists. "Near unto ye beaver pond called Jamaica," and "the beaver path," are of record, the latter presumably correct. The name is a pronunciation of _Tomaque,_ or _K'tamaque,_ Del., _Amique,_ Moh., "beaver." "_Amique,_ when aspirated, is written _Jamaique,_ hence Yameco, Jamico, and modern Jamaica." (O'Callaghan.) The bay has no claim to the name as a beaver resort, but beavers were abundant in the stream flowing into it. Kestateuw, "the westernmost," _Castuteeuw,_ "the middlemost," and _Casteteuw,_ "the eastermost," names of "three flats on the island Sewanhackey, between the bay of North river and the East river." The tracts came to be known as Flatlands; "the easternmost," as "the Bay," or Amesfort. Sacut, now known as Success Pond, lying on a high ridge in Flushing, is a corruption of _Sakûwit_ (_Sáquik_), "Mouth of a river" (Zeisb.), or "where the water flows out." The pond has an outlet, but it rarely overflows. It is a very deep and a very clear body of water. Canarsie, now so written and applied to a hamlet in the town of Flatlands, Kings County, is of record _Canari See, Canarisse, Canarise, Canorise_ (treaty of 1655), _Kanarisingh_ (Dutch), and in other forms, as the name of a place or feature from which it was extended to an Indian sub-tribe or family occupying the southwest coast of Long Island, and to their village, primarily called _Keshaechquereren_ (1636). On the Lower Potomac and Chesapeake Bay the name is written _Canais, Conoys, Ganawese,_ etc. (Heck, xlii), and applied to a sub-tribe of Naniticokes residing there who were known as "The tide-water people," or "Sea-shore settlers." On Delaware Bay it is written _Canaresse_ (1651, not 1656 as stated by Dr. Tooker), and applied to a specific place, described in exact terms: "To the mouth of the bay or river called Bomptjes Hoeck, in the Indian language _Canaresse._" (Col. Hist. N. Y. xii, 166.) "Bomptjes Hoeck" is Dutch and in that language describes a low island, neck or point of land covered with small trees, lying at the mouth of a bay or stream, and is met in several connections. The point or place described on the Delaware (now Bombay Hook) was the end of the island, known on old maps as "Deep Point," and the "Hook" was the bend in the currents around it forming the marshy inlet-bay on the southwest connecting with a marshy channel or stream, and the latter on the north with a small stream by which the island was constituted. Considered from the standpoint of an Algonquian generic term, the rule is undisputed that the name must have described a feature which existed in common at the time of its application, on the Delaware and on Long Island, and it only remains to determine what that feature was. Obviously the name itself solves the problem. In whatever form it is met it is the East Indian _Canarese_ (English _Can'a-resé_) pure and simple, and obviously employed
