[ganong] place-nomenclature OF NEW BRUNSWICK 217 



have Larcadia (Gastaldi, 1548; Zaitieri, 1566, and others; see the Krets- 

 chmer atlas), and it occurs upon them in its proper position ; thus, 

 Zaitieri has it between " R. Fondo" (Bay of Fundy) and " R. S. Lorenzo "^ 

 (St. Lawrence), while a map of 1560, in Marcel's atlas, places it on a 

 peninsula about in its proper place. So much seems certain. Still earlier, 

 however, on the N. Deslien's map of 1541, appears E. of Rio de Fundo, 

 les coudicrs, which may be this, while Ribero, 1529, has Idrrales. Upon 

 all of these maps it is associated with a series of names, along the 

 Atlantic coast, which are altogether European, never native, and indeed the 

 presence of the r, which does not occur in the Micmac dialect, is further evi- 

 dence against a native origin. It occurs, usually covering a considerable 

 territory, along with such names as Florida, Norumbega and Labrador, 

 suggesting that it may have an origin analogous to theirs. 



Though unfortunately extinct as a place-name, it is still used at times, 

 especially in scientific writings, as a convenient term to include the three 

 maritime provinces. 



The obvious but groundless theory that it is from Arcadia, in Greece, i& 

 given in " A Genuine Account of Nova Scotia," London, 1750, repeated in 

 Williamson, Maine, I., 188.
