Hog's Island, so called by the early settlers, now known as Center Island, has the record description: "A piece of land on Martin Garretson's Bay, in the Indian tongue called Matinnecong, alias Hog's Neck, or Hog's Island, being an island at high tide." (Col. Hist. N. Y., xiv, 435.) "Matinneckock, a neck on the Sound east of Muchito Cove." (See Muchito.) The island is connected with the main land by a neck or beach which was overflowed at high tide. Caumsett is recorded as the name of "The neck of land which makes the west side of Cow Harbor and the east side of Oyster Bay" (Ind. Deed of 1654), known later as Horse Neck and Loyd's Neck. Apparently a corruption of _Ketumpset,_ "Near the great standing rock." The reference may have been to what was known as Bluff Point. Muchito, the name of what is now Glen Cove, near Hempstead Harbor, is otherwise written Muschedo, Mosquito and Muscota. It was primarily written as the name of Muchito Neck. It means "Meadow"--_Moskehtu_ (Eliot), "grass;" _Muskuta,_ "A grassy plain or meadow." (See Muscota.) Katawomoke, "or, as called by the English, Huntington," is written in the Indian deed of 1653, _Ketauomoke_; in deed of 1646, _Ketauomocke,_ and assigned to a neck of land "Bounded upon the west side with a river commonly called by the Indians Nachaquetuck, and on the east by a river called Opcutkontycke," the latter now known as Northfield-Harbor Brook. The name is preserved in several orthographies. In deed to Lion Gardiner (1638), _Ar-hata-amunt_; in deed to Richard Smith (1664), _Catawaunuck_ and _Catawamuck_, and in another entry "Cattawamnuck land," _i. e._ land about Catawamuck; in Huntington Records, _Ketewomoke_; in Cal. N. Y. Land Papers, p. 60: "To the eastward of the town of Huntington and to the westward of Nesaquack, commonly called by the Indians _Katawamake_ and in English by the name of Crope Meadow;" in another entry, "Crab Meadow," by which last name the particular tract was known for many years. "Crope" and "Crab" are English equivalents for a species of grass called "finger-grass or wire-grass," and were obviously employed by the English to describe the kind of grass that distinguished the meadow--certainly not as an equivalent of the Indian name, which was clearly that of a place at or near the head of Huntington Harbor, from which it was extended to the lands as a general locative. The several forms of the name may probably be correctly read from _Kehti,_ or its equivalent. _Kehchi_, "Chief, principal, greatest," and _-amaug,_ "Fishing-place" (_-amuck,_ L. I.), literally "The greatest fishing-place." The orthography of 1638 is especially corrupt, and _Ketawamuck_, apparently the most nearly correct, the rule holding good in this, as in other cases, that the very early forms are especially imperfect.
