the English Little Falls. The block house, now in ruins, was built in 1841, 

 at the time of the "Aroostook war" ; name unknown. 

 Eelground. — Descriptive. In Micmac, Rand gives Nenadoookun ^^ where eels 

 are speared in the mud. Also Na-doo-aan. Near here the survey map, 

 1755, has Pactquema. 

 Eel River. — (Carleton-York). Descriptive. On Morris, 1784, in the present 

 form. In Maliseet Mad-a-wam^lff'-tool: = with rapids at its mouth ; 

 descriptive. (It is not navigable below Benton.) Sometimes also Caut-a- 

 vxe-sce-hoo-ol, translation of the English into Indian. In Munro as Madou- 

 anlato, though of uncertain application. Also perhaps Sus-ko-wul-ko (Cham- 

 berlain), the Siscaralligoh of the Peachy map. On French maps of the last 

 century and in other records, called Meductic (which see). The portage 

 from Eel Lake to North Lake is in Allen, 1777, Metagmoughschesh (Kidder). 

 Eel River.— (Restigouche.) Descriptive and doubtless from the French, UAn- 

 fjuilb . In Micmac, Oak-pee-gunch^-Uc, which Rand makes =^ discoloured 

 foam on the water. 



Of Moll, 1713, and others, this seems to be the II. Sauveur. On the 

 survey map and on d'Anville, 1755, R. a Loup-marin = Seal River, thus 

 translated on Jeffreys, 1757, and others. In an English document of 1783 

 (Dom. Archives, 1891, 22), it is Louguil River, no doubt a corruption of 

 l'Anguille = Eel River. It is l'Anguille in Plessis, 1811. 

 Egg Island. — In IMicmac perhaps Tes-ga-wa-goo-ivum-chick. 

 Eldo/t . — P- l''^2(). (Restigouche.) Abandoned ls7(i, re-established 1896. No doubt 



in honour of the first Earl of Eldon, then Lord Chancellor of England. 

 Elgin. — P. 1847. No doubt in honour of the Earl of Elgin, in that year appointed 



Governor-General of Canada. 

 Elgin. — (Westmorland.) See Elgin Parish. 



Elm Tree River. — Probably descriptive. On Baillie, I., 1832, as Elm Tree River, 

 also (do II.), as R. aux Ormes =^ elm trees, showing that it may have come 

 by translation from the French. 



In ]\Iicmac perhaps Me-de-aa-me-gnk = poplars at mouth, or Nee-beech, or 

 possibly liand means this in giving Wohabooolcliuk = white waters. 

 Emigrant Settlement.— Descriptive. 



English Settlement. — Descriptive. Formed by English immi^frants about 1824. 



Enragé, Cape. — From the French =3= Cape of rage, and perhaps descriptive of a 



stormy character. On De MeuUes, 168(), as C. mage ; French maps of the last 



century have C. Enragé; Southack, 1733, and other English maps have 



C. race or C rage. Pro. loc. by the English, C. rozhee. 



In Micmac, according to Rand, Tejeegoochk = sail shaped. ^ 

 Erina, Lake. — Said to have been made up by Thomas Baillie, Surveyor-General, 

 an Irishman, to recall Erin. He had a grant at its eastern end. On Lock- 

 wood, 1826 ; earlier, Yoho Lake (see Yoho). 

 Eseuminac, Point. — In Micmac, Rand gives Eskumunaak = watcliing place or 

 look-out place. As Scaumenac, etc., it occurs several times in Micmac 

 territory. On .Tumeau, 1685, as Pte. echkoumenak ; Coronelli, 1()89, has 

 Ouycomanet. Upon early maps, which give the name St. Lunario to 

 Miramichi Bay, it is called C. des Sauvages, but this belongs on P. E. I. 

 Possibly the I. Tenescou of early maps is connected with it. Pro. loc, 

 Skimnack. 

 Eskedelloc. — In Micmac said to be Wos-ka-day-lok. Cooney, 1832, has Escu- 

 dillaghU
