[ganong] place-nomenclature OF NEW BRUNSWICK 237 



The portage at the falls is marked on many early maps, and on Sotz- 

 mann, 1798, it is translated into German as Trageplatz. 



Parish established 1852. 

 Grand Lake. — (Queens)- Descriptive; probably derived from the French. On 

 Morris, 1775, as Grand Lake ; also on a plan of 1774 ; translated Great Lake 

 on D. Campbell, 1785, but the earlier form has prevailed. 



In Maliseet it is Kchee-cjuis^-pem, which is simply a translation of Big 

 Lake, probably not aboriginal. I have asked many Indians for another 

 name, but they can give none. On De Meulles, 1686, however, it is called 

 Lac de Paguisgke, which perhaps represents the aboriginal name. Upon old 

 French maps it is called Lac Freneuse (on some the St. John flows through 

 it), no doubt for Mathieu d'Amours, Sieur de Freneuse, who was granted a 

 seigneurie covering a part of it in 1684. 

 Grand Lake.— (York). Descriptive ; probably not directly from the French, 

 but applied by the English from analogy with other Grand Lakes. On a 

 survey map of 1785 in British Museum. In Titcomb's survey, 1798 (Maine 

 Hist. Mag. vii. 154, viii. 164) Long Pond. 



In Passamaquoddy called Kee-ok-qu'-sak^ , or Kwee-ok-qu-sak^-ik ^^ where 

 gulls raise young on rocks ? (Kee-ok =^ a gull). It was first used on Bellin, 

 1744, in the form Kaouakousaki, and persists variously 'spelled on maps 

 down to the present century. The recognition of the identity of this name 

 disposes of the contention of some writers that the river flowing from it 

 called St. Croix on Mitchell's map was Magaguadavic (see Magazine of 

 American History, xxvi., 261-265, also xxvii., 72). 



By Springer called Modongamook, but a mistake ; the latter is the name 

 of Grand Lake on the Penobscot (see Hubbard, p. 200). 

 Grand Manan. — From the Passamaquoddy (or Micmac?) Mim-aa-nook' = the 

 island (locative of Munaan, an island), with the French prefix Grand, to 

 distinguish it from Petit Manan on the Maine coast. 



In Lescarbot, 1609, as Menane ; Biard, 1611, has Manano ; Champlain, 

 1613, Manthane, Menane. Earliest use of the prefix grand is on De Meulles, 

 1686, as le grand Menant. The James I. 1610 map has J. Feree ; upon 

 Blaeu's, 1642 (Kohl 315, 317), becomes I. Esperee, origin unknown. The 

 Great Mary Id. of McDonald's 1806 report is probably only a mistranslation. 

 It was erected into a parish in 1816. 



Many of its names are pre-loyalist, used by Wright in 1772. Such are: 

 North Head. Green Islands. 



. Whale Cove. Three Islands. 



Long Island. Wood Island. 



White Head. Murr Rock. 



He names Ross Id. as Great Duck Id. ; Cheney Id. as Little Duck Id. 

 Grand Harbour is used by Owen in 1770. 



In Passamaquoddy Bishop Point is Boo-de-bay-oo-hee-gen = death trap 

 of whales (alt. Gatschet). Eel Brook is Katakadik = where eels are plenty 

 (Gatschet). 

 Grand Point.— (Queens.) Descriptive; no doubt from the French. On Camp- 

 bell, 1788. In Maliseet, Nem-kesk or Nem-kess-ook. On De Meulles, 1686, it is 

 nempkeiou ; with the i an s it is the same word. 

 Grand River. — From the French, Grand Rivière =^ big river. Why given? On 

 a map and grant of 1794 as Grand Rivière. 



In Maliseet it is Qaet-atch^ -quek (also We-dach-quek). On a plan of 

 Restigouche of 1786 as Guadazquash. On Peachy, 1783, Widisquack. Bou-
