B. Analytical list of aboriginal place-names involving the suffix 

 root -ACAD IE, -QUODDY, -KONTE, meaning OCCURRENCE. 



ADOGWASACADIE. The Micmac name for Trout Brook, according to 

 Rand, who gives it as ATOGASWEGATIK {Micmac-English Dictionary, 180). 

 The construction of the name is perfectly clear for the termination is obviously 

 our familiar combination -A-KA'DI-K, earlier explained (page 380), while the first 

 part is clearly ADOGWAASOO, meaning TROUT (Rand, First Reading Book, 52), 

 making the name mean TROUT-THEIR-OCCURRENCE-PLACE. But we have 

 no hint as to which of the innumerable places called Trout Brook the name belongs, 

 and possibly the word is only a translation of an English name into Micmac. The 

 name Adagwaasook Fishing Cluh, an organization with headquarters on the Little 

 Black River in Kent County, New Brunswick, evidently involves the same root, 



AGLASACADIE. The Micmac name, in simplified form, of three widely- 

 separated places in the Eastern Provinces. 



(1). The name for Tusket, near the western extremity of Nova Scotia, according 

 to Rand, who gives the word as AGLASEÂWÀ'KÀDE, meaning AN ENGLISH 

 SETTLEMENT {First Reading Book, 101). The construction of the word, upon 

 this explanation, seems clear. The latter part must represent our familiar roots 

 -WA-KA'DI-(K), already explained (page 380), while the first part would be 

 AGLASEA, meaning ENGLISH (Rand, English- Micmac Dictionary, 99). The 

 actual use of this name seems fully confirmed by an independent statement in Camp- 

 bell's History of Yarmouth County, 20, which reads "Tusket Village, Anglaseawagatty. 

 Place where the English live. This is late Indian." Campbell's spelling of the name 

 by the way, shows that Rand's accent, as one would expect, is displaced, by a typo- 

 graphical error. Gesner uses the word, apparently in a topographical sense, as 

 noted on a later page (page 439). 



(2). Further, this same name, with identical meaning, is given by Rand, in the 

 form AGLASËAWÂKADE, as also the Micmac name for East Bay, Cape Breton 

 {Micmac-English Dictionary, 179). This Bay, however, a branch of Bras d'Or, has 

 also another Indian name, for on Bellin's Map of the Island of 1744, it is, PISCA- 

 BOUECH, which clearly represents PESKAPAC, meaning BRANCH LAKE, 

 a very appropriate name, as will later be shown. 



(3). The same name has been given me by Father Pacifique, in the form 

 AGLASIEOEGATIG, with the meaning ENGLISH SETTLEMENT, for Point 

 Fleurant, at the mouth of the Restigouche River, directly across from Dalhousie, 

 in Quebec. Close alongside is a little brook called Englishman's Brook, evidently 

 connected with this name. Father Pacifique relates that the Indians early com- 

 plained of encroachments upon their rights by the English settlers in 1786. 



It is quite obvious that Campbell must be correct in saying that this word is 

 late Indian, for of course it could not be aboriginal, that is to say, with this meaning 

 and origin. As to this, I think there may be doubt, since the word may represent a 

 Micmac familiarization of some animal or plant name which happened to resemble 

 rather closely their lately-acquired AGLASEA, and which became gradually identified 

 with that increasingly-familiar word. I speak in this way of the word AGLASEA 

 because there seems no doubt that it is simply an adoption from the ¥ rench. Anglaise 

 (Rand, Micmac-English Dictionary 8). There seems no historical reason for the 

 application of the name to Tusket, for while a certain early connection with the 

 English is implied in Denys' mention of early expeditions by the New Englanders to 

 the Tusket Islands for seals {Description, II, 236; Champlain Society's edition, 342), 

 and possibly in the fact that some Englishmen were early set on shore by La Tour
