After many generations of chiefs, continues the fourth song, during which time they were continually engaged in wars with "_Snakes_" (enemies), they wander from the fir land to the south and east, pass over a hollow mountain _Oligonunk_ (Oregon, according to Rafinesque), and at last "find food" at "_Shililaking_, the plains of the Buffalo Land." Here they tarry and build towns and raise corn on the great meadows of the _Wisawana_ (Yellow River). But after many wars with "_Snakes_," "northern enemies," and "father snakes," of which we can see a suggestion in the eel-like form (_p_) on the stone, they again resume their migration towards the "sun-rising," and finally reach the shores of the Messussipu,[K] or Great River, "which divides the land." The accompanying pictograph for verse 49, descriptive of the Great River, quite unlike the figure upon the stone, is here given from the original drawing by Rafinesque, kindly furnished the writer by Dr. Brinton (fig. 17). The narrative, of which we give the English translation by Rafinesque, omitting the Delaware version, continues in the original as follows: 49. The Great River (_Messussipu_) divided the land, and being tired, they tarried there. 50. _Yagawanend_ (Hut-maker) was next _sakima_, and then the _Tallegwi_ were found possessing the east. [Illustration: FIG. 17.] 51. Followed _Chitanitis_ (Strong-friend), who longed for the rich east-land. 52. Some went to the east, but the _Tallegwi_ killed a portion. 53. Then all of one mind exclaimed: War, war! 54. The _Talamatan_ (not of themselves) and the _Nitilowan_ all go united (to the war). 55. _Kinehepend_ (Sharp-looking) was their leader, and they went over the river. 56. And they took all that was there, and despoiled and slew the _Tallegwi_. 57. _Piniokhasuwi_ (Stirring-about) was next chief, and then the Tallegwi were much too strong. 58. _Teuchekensit_ (Open-path) followed, and many towns were given up to him. 59. _Paganchihilla_ was chief, and the _Tallegwi_ all went southward. 60. _Hattanwulaton_ (the Possessor) was _sakima_, and all the people were pleased. 61. South of the lakes they settled their council-fire, and north of the lakes were their friends the _Talamatan_ (Hurons?). Nothing could be more interesting to the lover of American archæology than a study of this song--with the single exception perhaps of the Lenape stone, the most remarkable Indian document in existence. The latter part of the story here given, is even less suggestive than the preceding portions, which we have been obliged to omit. The generations of chiefs, which it recites in order, seem to include thousands of years, and as we read its account of a creation and a deluge, of the passage of a great water upon the ice, and an arrival at a "Land of Firs," we almost pardon the extravagant speculations of Rafinesque, to which it gave rise.
