Maine Legislatiuv ; and there are yet others, too many to name, but not 

 without their share in this work. 



In gathering data for these studies I have visited nearly all of the 

 Indian settlements in New Brunswick and interviewed their chiefs and 

 other Indians. What always impresses me at such times is the clear- 

 headedness and philosophical spirit (commonl}' and patronizingl}' spoken 

 of as intelligence) of the best of the Indians ; how much they are really 

 like ourselves in essentials, and how largely the diflFerences between us are 

 matters simply of education. Of these Indians I have had most valuable 

 help from Newell Paul, chief at Woodstock ; Gabe Acquin, chief at Fred- 

 ericton ; Tom Barnabj', chief at Eelground ; Polycarp Martin, chief at 

 Mission Point, Quebec ; Frank Francis, chief at Tobique ; Mark Paul, chief 

 at Folly Point ; Joe Presque, temporary chief at Bathui-st ; and from 

 Frank and Susan Perlc}' and Mitchel LaPorte at Tobique ; Andrew and 

 Jim Paul at Fredericton ; Gabriel Tomah at Calais. Me., and from others 

 nt Gagetown, Apohaqui and elsewhere. 



Of general works uj^on place-nomenclature there are many, but I 

 luive been al>le to consult but few, of which the following I have found 

 most useful : 



Taylor, Eev. Isaac, "Words and Places. 2nd éd., London. 1865. 

 Fay, C. E. Our Geographical Nomenclature. Appalachia, III., 1-13. 

 Harris, C. II. Geographical Nomenclature of Scuith Australia, in Proc. 



Aust. Assoc. Ad. Sci., 1893. 

 Chittenden, H. N. On Place-names in the Yellowstone National Park. 



In his " National Park." Cincinnati, 1805. 

 Trench, Pt. C. On the Study of Words, London, 18th éd., 1882. 

 Peile, J. Philolog3\ In Literature Primers, 1877. 

 Century Book of Names. 

 Dictionary of National Biography. 



Cassell's .Gazetteer of Great Britain and Ireland. Vols. I. -III. 

 Matthews, Brander. On the Poetiy of Place-Names. Scribner's Maga- 

 zine. Jvil}', 1896. 



Of works upon Indian philology I have used only the following : 

 Trumbull. J. II. Indian Names of Places in Connecticut, Hartford, 1881. 

 On the Composition of Indian Geographical Names, Coll. Conn. 

 Hist. Soc, IL, 1870. 



And, of course, the vocabularies of Eand, mentioned below, and the 

 following : 



Eand, Silas. Lecture on the Micmac Indians, Halifax JTcndd, July 8th, 

 1886. 



There are said to be monographs of the character of this upon the 

 place-nomenclature of European countries, but I have seen none of them. 

 I am not acquainted with any of this character in America, though many 

 lists of greater or less fullness have been published, especially for older 

 names.
