The survey map of 1786 gives many Indian names, all of which are 

 identified, except Mogobachs and Psedow, above Gounamitz. Many of tlie 

 smaller streams along it are called locally " gulches.*' Many of the minor 

 names fixed, no doubt, by the survey of 1800. The main river has, by con- 

 fusion with the Miramichi, been called also Chacodi, (see Miramichi). 

 Gesner (I., 5th) gives Awanjeet for the main river above Kedgewick. 



Restigouche. — C, 1837. Of course from the river. It and Madawaska are the 

 only counties with Indian names. 



Richibucto River. — From the Micmac, but aboriginal form not known to me ; 

 Father (iuay gives LicJdbouktorick = t'wbt which enters the woods; Vet- 

 romile \\a,s Elagibucto = the prayer-fire, but he cannot be trusted; Cooney 

 and others following him have derived it from Booktaoo, fire. In the Jesuit 

 Relation of 1046 as la Baye de Regibouctou ; Denys. 1672, has Rechibouclou ; 

 Moll, 17in, has Riche Chedahouktou ; on Jefi"reys, 1755, the harbour is called 

 Forth Bay, a persistence from Alexander's map of 1624, where it applies to 

 the Miramichi. On Sayer, 1775, and others, just S. of this river is a Wis- 

 pouminac, origin unknown. 



Richibucto.— P., 1832, earlier Liverpool, which see. Of course from the river. 



Richmond. — S. 1817, P. 1853. Doubtless in honour of the Duke of Richmond, 

 made Governor-General of Canada in 1818. Mentioned in .Tournais House 

 of Assembly of 1817 as a new settlement. 



Rivière des Chutes. — See Chutes. 



Rivière du Cache. — See Cache. 



Robertville.— S. 1S79 (p. 208). In honour of Hon. Robert Young. 



Rochette Point. — Origin uncertain. Doubtless Acadian. 



Rocky Island.— (Kings). Descriptive. On De MeuUes, 1686, named 1. de trent 

 sols = Island of thirty sous; also the same on Monckton, 1758; ^lorris, 

 plan of 1765, has 30-Penny Island; no doubt records some incident of 

 Acadian times. 



Rogerville.— S. 1876 (p. 208), P. 1881. In honour of Bishop Rogers, of Chatham. 



Rolling Dam.— Descriptive. A special dam formerly here to protect lumber 

 . from the rocks. 



Rothesay.— P. 1870. Said to have been suggested by one of the titles of the 

 Prince of Wales (Duke of Cornwall and Rothesay), who embarked here for 

 Fredericton in IsiiO. 



Rushagonis.— From the Maliseet Tea-e-gwan' -ik = (perhaps) meeting with the 

 main stream (.Jack). In a grant of 1784 as Rushogounnas, and in a letter 

 Rushigonis, 1784 (Coll. N. B. Hist. Soc. I., 185). Campbell, 1788, has Rushe- 

 guana. For Tes-e-gwan-ik-sis, see Waasis. 



Loo. pro. Roosh-a-gaw'-nish, but more commonly Gaw-nish. 



Sabbies River. -On Baillie, 1832, Savoys. Perhaps Micmac. 



Sackville.— T. 1772, P. 1786. In honour, no doubt, of Lord Sackville, who was 

 made Commander of the British forces in 1758. 



Saint Andrews.— Origin uncertain. The tradition of an Indian in 1796 (Kilby, 

 p. 114) was " That two or three hundred years ago the French 

 erected a cross upon St. Andrews Point, on St. Andrews day celebrated mass 

 there and gave it the name of St. Andrews." Another Ms., now in the 

 possession of Mr. Kilby, gives an Indian tradition that a cross was erected
