NATURAL HISTORY AND PHYSIOGRAPHY OF NEW BRUNSWICK. 251 



1686, to place Nictor Lake upon a map. Garden is for the surveyor 

 who, in 1835, was the first to sketch a modern map of the lake, and 

 to apply the name Nictor to it. Berton (lake, not mountain), is for 

 the other surveyor who, in 1837, made the sketch map which has been 

 the original of all published maps of the lake even to the present day. 

 Head is for a governor of the province who was here in 1849 and 

 named Mount Teneriffe. Gordon is for another governor, whose 

 charming book, "Wilderness Journeys," published first in 1864, gives 

 the first published description of the lake. It was he who named 

 Mount Sagamook. Bailey is for the naturalist, Professor in the 

 University of New Brunswick, who gave us, in 1864, the first scientific 

 account of the geology and botany of this region. Carleton, applied 

 to what is much the highest mountain in this part of the province, 

 and possibly in the entire province, is named for Thomas Carleton, 

 governor of New Brunswick from its foundation in 1784 until his 

 death in 1817. Mounts Carleton, Head and Sagamook form a 

 plateau, which, since its peaks are named for two governors, and by 

 another, may well be called The Governors' Plateau. In Nictor Lake 

 lies a little island named from its mode of formation, Moraine Island. 

 South of Carleton lies another high and conspicuous mountain named 

 Winslow, in honor of Edward Winslow, who was so closely associated 

 with the foundation of the Province of New Brunswick, and who is 

 as yet uncommemorated in any place-name. 



As one stands upon the western end of Sagamook, he can see 

 running off to the southwest a fine range of very prominent hills, with 

 several rounded summits. This range begins with Mount Bailey and 

 terminates near Bald Head, south of the Tobique. Since Bailey is 

 one of the range, the other summits may well be named for the other 

 geologists who have worked in this province, Gesner, Robb, Hartt, 

 Matthew, Dawson, Ells, Chalmers, and the range may well be called 

 the Geologists' Range. No maps or figures are here presented, for I 

 hope soon to give it further study. 



We pass next to Nepisiguit waters, of which a map is given 

 herewith (Fig. 13), and we may well commemorate in its numerous 

 grand hills those who have been prominent in the history of the river 

 and the region of the North Shore about its mouth. We come first to 

 a large lake. It first appears on the excellent map of 1685 by the 

 Recollet missionary, Jumeau, as L. aucler, and the name is restored.
