APPENDIX. 



Sources of Information. 



In the preparation of this work 1 have had assistance in many points 

 from several friends and correspondents, to whom it is here my pleasant 

 duty to tender nw acknowledgments and sincere thanks. On the Indian 

 names, the late Edward Jack, who knew New Brunswick better perhaps 

 than an}' one else, gave me much information. Mr. Michael Flinne, 

 teacher of the Indian school at Eelground, Miramichi, gathered for me 

 man}- names from the Micmacs, and I have been accustomed to call him 

 my model correspondent. Mr. M. Chamberlain, of Caml>ridge, most 

 kindly sent me a list of Indian place-names from his unpublished Maliseet 

 vocabular}'. and Mrs. AYallace Brown has given me many Passamaquoddy 

 names. That the help given by these students is not mentioned more often 

 in the Dictionary is due to the fact that most of the names supplied by 

 them I have, either before or after receiving their lists, obtained for 

 myself from the Indians, and I have preferred to give my own form ; but 

 their lists have been valuable for comparison and control of my own. 

 Rev. W. O. Raymond has given me much aid, especially upon the New 

 England period. From M. Placide Gaudet, by far our best authority 

 upon the history of the Acadians, I have received many more facts than 

 I have used in tliis paper upon the history of the Acadian settlements. 

 On the naming of the Madawaska parishes. Rev. Father L. N. Dugal has 

 given me full and perfectl}^ reliable inforination based upon the records 

 of the churches there. Mr. S. W. Kain, whose sympathy with such work 

 as this is an insjiii-ation to its accomplishment, has aided at several points. 

 Mr. Andrew Inches and Mr. Thos. G. Loggie, of the Crown Land office 

 at Fredericton, have been particularly patient and obliging under mj' 

 persistent questioning. Of others, 1 wish particularly to mention Father 

 Guay, of Mission Point, Quebec ; the late W. F. Bunting, of St. John : 

 Mr, Wm. Mclnnes, of Ottawa ; Mr. John Anderson, of the Barony ; Mr. L. 

 Allison, of Sussex ; Mr. Louis Mitchell, former Indian member of the
