between these lakes is in Passamaquoddy, Tog-van-onk = land-locked 

 salmon place (Tog-wan-on = land-locked salmon). An old undated plan 

 has Sour Gat, where Forest City now is, and another, later, has Slugundij 

 and Tappers C. along the stream. I know nothing of these names. 



Choekpish. — Doubtless Micmac. On plan of 1802 as Chock Pish. The village is 

 now called Ste. Anne.

 land there.

CleoncoTe-—'ë>Qe Eccles Island. 



Cleuristic. — From the Maliseet Kul-loo-sh^-th = an eagle's nest, said by them to 

 have been formerly built on a high rock below its mouth. In their legends 

 kulloo is a giant bird of great powers, somewhat like the roc. On Wyld, 

 1841, ae Cleuristick. On an old plan as Bubair's Brook, no doubt from a 

 settler.

 settlers came.

 a pine when at hand; Co-ak, when it is distant). In Munro.-1783, as 

 Govjac ; on D. Campbell, 1785, as Goack or Pine River. Extended to a group 

 of islands and even to the main river, here called sometimes Coac Reach. 

 Pr. loc. Co-ak. 



Coak Brook. — (Queens). Probably the same as Coac (which see"). 



Coal Creek. — (Queens). In MaWseet Mes-gos^-guelk (see Musquash Harbour). 



Cocagne.^Named by Nicholas Denys before 1()72, for, in his work published in 

 that year, he says (p. 17o) : " J'ay nomme cette riviere la riviere de Cocagne, 

 parce que j'y trouvay tant de quoy y faire bonne chère pendent huit jours 

 que le mauvais temps m'obligea d'y demeurer," " I have named this river 

 the River of Cocagne, because I found there everything with which to make 

 good cheer during the eight days the bad weather compelled me to remain 

 there." Cocagne is, in the French, equivalent to the English Utopia, a land 

 of fabled abundance and comfort. 



In Micmac, Wij-oo-maij-ga-dik. Two miles up the river on the north 

 side is Ruisseau des Malcontents, and higher was Belair, and at Cape 

 Cocagne is a place still called le camp de Boishébert, where he spent the 

 winter of 1755-56 (Gaudet). . 



Colborne.— P. 1839. No doubt in honour of Sir .John Colborne, Governor- 

 General of Canada in that year.

Colehroohe. — (The town at Grand Falls laid out in 1842) ; in honour no doubt 

 of Sir William Colebrooke, Lieut-Governor of N.B. 1841-48.
