He wrote also several shorter works on art and antiquities, and a number of novels of no great merit. In 1805 appeared the Souvenirs du comte de Caylw (2 vols. 12mo). CAYMAN. See ALLIGATOR. CAYMANS, three small islands of the British West Indies, in the Caribbean sea, forming a dependency of Jamaica. They are low islands of coral formation, and two of them are barren and uninhabited. Grand Cayman, the largest, is 24 m. long by 2-J- broad, is covered with cocoanut trees, and has an anchorage on the S. W. side ; pop. about 1,600. The inhabitants are bold sailors, and much employed as pilots. They also catch large numbers of turtles on their shore, to supply the markets of Jamaica. CAYUGA, a central county of New York, bounded N. by Lake Ontario, W. by Cayuga lake, touching Skaneateles lake on the E., and traversed by the Seneca river and other smaller streams, which furnish abundant water power; area, about 752 sq. m. ; pop. in 1870, 59,550. The surface is undulating, the soil fertile; salt, gypsum, and limestone abound. Owasco lake, 10 m. long, lies in its centre. The South- ern Central, the New York Central, and Au- burn branch railroads traverse it. The chief productions in 1870 were 622,237 bushels of wheat, 703,148 of Indian corn, 916,168 of oats, 732,140 of barley, 397,747 of potatoes, 87,604 tons of hay, 2,392,238 Ibs. of butter, 324,792 of wool, and 96,287 of tobacco. There were 14,- 453 horses, 21,332 milch cows, 14,256 other cattle, 58,915 sheep, and 14,929 swine. There were 13 manufactories of agricultural imple- ments, 5 of boots and shoes, 1 of carpets, 31 of carriages and wagons, 2 of planes, 24 flour mills, 27 saw mills, 6 manufactories of woollen goods, 13 of iron, 10 brick kilns, 2 manufactories of files, 7 of furniture, 2 of hardware, 1 of sad- dlers' tools, 11 of ground plaster, 15 of tin, cop- per, and sheet-iron ware, and 7 of tobacco and cigars. Capital, Auburn. CAYUGA LAKE, in the central part of New York, separates Cayuga from Seneca coun- ty, and extends S. into Tompkins county. It is about 38 m. long, and from 1 to 3 m. wide, and is navigable in all parts, but for about 6 m. from its N. extremity it is compara- tively shallow. On advancing S. it becomes much deeper, and in some places is said to be unfathomable. It is rarely frozen over, except at the shallow portion. Its surface is 146 ft. above Lake Ontario, and 377 ft. above the sea. Its outlet is Seneca river on the north, which connects it with Seneca and Oneida lakes. CAYUGAS, one of the tribes of the Hotinonsi- onni or Iroquois, commonly known as the Six Nations. They called themselves Goiogwen or Gweugwen. They inhabited three or four villages in a pleasant district on Cayuga lake. They numbered when first known to the French about 300 warriors, and comprised the three families common to all, Turtle, Bear, and Wolf, and also the Beaver with the Deer, Snipe, Hawk, and Heron. They gave ten hereditary sachems to the league. As early as 1656 the French, by their missionaries Chaumonot and Menard, attempted to win them over; but though these missions were renewed and con- tinued by Carheil down to 1684, they made little impression on the tribe, which took part in all the wars against the French. In 1667 a part of the tribe, hard pressed by the Susquehannas, crossed over to Quinte bay. Among the great chiefs of the tribe were Sa- onchiogwa, who became a Christian in 1671, and Oureouhare or Tawerahet, who was taken and sent to the galleys in France, but on his return became a firm friend of the French. During the American revolution they joined the Eng- lish, having already been in arms against the colonists at Point Pleasant in 1774. They greatly annoyed Gen. Clinton in his march to cooperate with Sullivan in 1779, and soon saw their villages destroyed. After the war they ceded all their land to the state of New York except a small reservation, which they aban- doned in 1800. Some joined the Senecas, some went to Grand river in Canada, and others to Sandusky, whence they were removed to the Indian territory. They have now dwindled to about 250. CAYX, Remi Jean Baptist* Charles, a Trench historian, born at Cahors in 1795, died in Paris in 1858. He studied in Paris, and became in 1850 rector of the academy of the department of the Seine, after having occupied other im- portant positions as teacher and librarian, and from 1840 to 1845 a seat in the chamber of dep- uties. His Recits d'histoire ancienne (1823) and his Histoire de France pendant le moyen age (1835) passed through many editions; and his other writings include Histoire de I 'empire romain (2 vols., 1828). CAZALLA DE LA SIERRA, a town of Andalu- sia, Spain, in the province and 40 m. N. E. of Seville ; pop. about 6,500. It contains numer- ous religions edifice.?, ruined villas, and Roman and Arabic antiquities. CAZEMBE, a negro state in the interior of S. E. Africa, so called from the title of its sove- reign. It is situated S. of Lake Tanganyika and E. of Muroque, but its boundaries are not precisely known. Kecent travellers estimate the area at 120,000 sq. m., and the population at 500,000. The western part of the country consists of elevated plains. The most important river is the Luapula. The chief articles of trade are slaves, ivory, salt, and copper. The Ca- zembe resides in Lunda or Lucenda, a large town situated upon Lake Moero, lat. 9 30' S., Ion. 29 16' E. The country was visited in 1831 by Gamito de Tete, a Portuguese. An account of his travels was published at Lisbon in 1854. Livingstone visited the country in 1867. CAZENOVIA, a town and village on a small lake of the same name in Madison co., New York; pop. of the town in 1870, 4,265; of the village, 1,718. It is the seat of a Methodist
