ERRATA.

Through an oversight in revising manuscript written several years ago, _Narratschoan_ (page 121) was assigned to the Verdrietig Hoek Mountain. It should have been assigned to Butter Hill, and _Klinkersberg_ should have been assigned to the Donderberg. _Klinkers_ is from Dutch _Klinken,_ "To sound, to resound." It describes, with the suffix _-berg,_ a hard stone mountain or hill that resounds or echoes--Echo Hill. _Narratschoan,_ the name of Butter Hill, is from _Nâï,_ "It is angular, it corners"--"having corners or angles." (Trumbull.) The letters _-atscho_ stand for _-achtschu,_ Zeisb., _-adchu,_ Natick, "Hill or mountain," and _-an_ is the formative. The combination may be read, "A hill that forms an angle or corner." To recover the Indian name of Butter Hill compensates in some degree for oversight referred to.

Brodhead (Hist. N. Y., i, 757, note), it will be seen by those who will examine, made the same mistake in locating _Klinkersberg_ that is referred to above. The "Vischer's Rack" or "Fisherman's Bend" was clearly the bend around West Point. The Donderberg, or Klinkersberg is the elevation immediately north of Stony Point.
