Little River. — (Kings). In ^laliseet, Kee-wool-a-ta-mo' -kik, the home of Ke-wool- 

 a-ta-mo-kik, the invisible Indians, who did remarl^able things. This is 

 probably the Quoradumkeag of Peachy misplaced {s-ee Tenants Cove). Mr. 

 Chamberlain applies the name to Oak Point Creek; possibly applied to 

 Devils Creek (see Devils Back).

 haps) straight up.

Livertjool- — P- 1826. Perhaps for the hope that it would become a great port. 

 Found inconvenient and changed to Richibucto in 1832. 



Loch Lomond. — Said to have been so named about 1810, no doubt in remem- 

 Ijrance of that place in Scotland, by Lauchlan Donaldson, a Scotchman, 

 afterwards mayor of St. John, who had a grant at its western end. On a plan 

 of 1815 Lough Lomand. lie also named Ben Lomond. A promontory in 

 the lake is Donaldson's Point and a small lake to the westward is still 

 Donaldson's Lake.

 dam : descriptive. On Peachy, 1783, and other, Nigisleau. Also Simonds 

 Creek in pre-loyalist times (Raymond).

 De ^NleuUes, 16SG, as La. Grande hie ; Monckton, 1758, has Long Island; also 

 in grant of 1764 ; hence not named (as sometimes stated), by the loyalist 

 settleis in memory of their home on Long Island, N.Y. 



In Maliseet Kchee-men-eek' = big island, probably a translation of the 

 French name.

 came to the notice of Canadians by his marriage with the Princess Louise.

 years ago, grantee in 1831. Louis formerly sometimes took the form
