270 ROYAL SOCIETY OF CANADA 



Saint Louis. — A stream near Quaco, named bj' Champlain as shown on his 

 1612 map, but not mentioned in liis text ; followed on other maps ; no doubt 

 for St. Louis de Gonzague, on whose day» June 21st, he probably arrived there. 



Saint Louis. — P-, 1866. Formerly Palmerston (which see). 



Saint Lunario, Baie c?e.— (Properly Saint Lunaire.) The name given by 

 Cartier to the bay forming the head of Northumberland Strait ; he entered 

 it on .luly 1st, 1534, the day of St. Lunarius (see Trans. Royal Soc. Canada, 

 v., ii., loi). He supposed it to be a closed bay and so describes it; hence 

 many later maps confound it with Miramichi. DeLaet speaks of it as a 

 strait, " Detroit," but shows it as a bay on his map. 



St. Mary.— P., 1867. Probably for a church (p. 205). 



Saint Marys. — P., 1786. Probably suggested by the settlement here of the Mary- 

 land loyalists. A part of it was earlier called Moncton (see). 



Saint Nicholas River. — Origin ? ; possibly for some Indian resident (p. 189). 

 On a plan of 1802 as NicJiolas River ; in a grant of 1811 , St. Nicholas; Statute, 

 1822, and Lockwood, 1826, have it Nicholas ; Cooney, 1832, and all later, *S'^ 

 Xicltolas. 



Saint Patrick. — P., 1786. Suggested, no doubt, by the names of the other saints 

 in the vicinity (see p. 204). 



Saint Paul.— P., 1888. 



*S'^ J'aii/. — Seigniory, 1697. In Botsford. 



Saint Simons Inlet. — Origin ? ; Cooney states it is " said to have derived its 

 name from that of a French corvette sunk there after the conquest of 

 Canada-" On Bonnor, 1820, as B. St. Simon; on plan of 1820, in present 

 form; a plan of 1829 has Captain St. Simon's Point, on the inlet, indicating 

 an origin other than that given by Cooney. In Micmac Winamkeak =^ a 

 rough, sandy bank (Rand). 



Saint Stephen. — P., 1 786. Suggested, no doubt, by the other names of saints in 

 the vicinity (p. 204), and not, as has been said (Courier, cxxi.), for some 

 surveyor of the name. 



Saint Stephen. — Town. At one time, and so appears on some deeds in 1784 and 

 1785, it was called Morristoum, no doubt in compliment to Charles Morris, 

 jr., member of the N. S. Legislature for Sunbury Co., then including all of 

 western New Brunswick. 



Salisbury Bay.— On Des Barres' chart of 1781, as Salisbury Cove, probably given 

 by him (p. 203).

 it nearly extended. 



Salkelds Islands. — For Thomas Salkeld, a Pennsylvania (Quaker, to whom 

 tiiey were granted in isi:; ; he is buried on one of them. On some maps cor- 

 rupted to Salt Hills Ids. On Wright, 1772, as The Brothers, perhaps, because 

 two of them, much alike; while a plan of 1810 and others have Fothergills. 

 Locally pronounced Sul-kells Islands. 



Salmon Point.— (Above Woodmans. Long Reach). Perhaps descriptive. On D. 

 Campbell, 1785. On Monckton, 1758, Point aux Tourtres = Figoon Point; 

 no doubt its Acadian name.

 On De ^Meulles, 1686, as R. Chimmpy ; on Bellin, 1744, corrupted to Chimanisti, 

 which j)ersist8 with many misspellings through the French maps and records.
