 . or Cove. 



Kin tore. — S. 1^73. Named at the same time with Kincardine (which see), and 

 for the place in Scotland.

 sis. 



Kouebibouguac. — ( Westmorland). Doubtless same word as that in Kent (which

La Nef.— De Laet, 1640, states that just west of the mouth of the St. John is an 

 island, which the French name from its shape La Nef = the ship (?). This 

 was perhaps Manawoganish Island or Thru m Cap. 



La Nim, Point.— Also Point La Lime. Ungin? Cooney gives it as "Point 

 Ainimpk, which, as its name implies, was formerly a reconnoitering post of 

 tlie Indians." A very old resident has given me Le Nim.

Lepreau, Point. — Origin? Early French. 



Occurs tirst on De MeuUes, 1686, as Pte. aux Napraux, which word has

 Southack, however, 1733, has Point La Pro, followed by many others ; Morris, 

 1749, has l'oint le Prof>, and .Mitchell, 1755, Pros Pt.; Wright, 1772, Little Pro. 

 Boundary map of 1798 has LePreau. Purdy, 1814, has Lepreau; Bonnor, 

 1820, has again Le Proe, but Lockwood, 1826, has Lepreau, which has pre-
