[ganong] INDIAN PLACE-NOMENCLATURE 395 



While the roots occur in the Passamaquoddy tongue, they belong also to the 

 Micmac, and in view of the occurrence of the same word, at least twice in Micmac 

 territory, as noted in the two following words it seems likely that this is another of 

 several names of this region having a Micmac origin (compare page 412 later.) 



(2). KADAGADIK. The Micmac name for the Long Marsh Creek just west 

 of Cape Enrage in the southern part of New Brunswick. It was given me by Mark 

 Paul, Micmac chief at Folly Point, in the form KA DA GA DIK' (of my notes), and 

 although I have no meaning it seems evident that the word is identical with the 

 preceding. 



(3). KATAKADDY. The Micmac name for some place, not specified, in 

 Nova Scotia, as given in the form KATA-KADDY, meaning EEL-GROUND on 

 the authority of Rand by Dawson in his Acadian Geology, 2nd edition, 1868, 3. It 

 seems perfectly identical with the two preceding. No doubt the name occurred 

 frequently throughout these Provinces, where the Indians have always used the eels 

 as a favourite food. 



(4). GATWEGATIK. The Micmac name for Eel Cove, according to Rand 

 {Micmac-English Dictioyiary, 182). This place I have not identified, the possibilities 

 being apparently many; but the word seems identical,thoughanother mode of spelling, 

 with the three preceding. 



KITPOOACADIE. The Micmac name for Cape Shubenacadie, called Eagles 

 Nest Point on our modern maps, a prominent headland on the east side of the lower 

 course of the Shubenacadie River. Rand gives it as KITPOOÂKADE, with the 

 meaning EAGLE HAUNT, or KITPOÂKADE (First Reading Book, 85; Micmac- 

 English Dictionary, 183). It occurs also in Gesner's list as KITPOO-AYKADDY, 

 meaning A PLACE OF EAGLES (Murdoch, History of Nova Scotia, I, 534,) this 

 spelling showing the location of the accent, which Rand omits. The construction 

 of the name seems perfectly clear, for the latter part is evidently and typically our 

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

 part is equally plain, for the Micmac KÏTPOO means EAGLE (Rand, First Reading 

 Book, -Al). Thus the word in full would be KITPOO-Â-KA'DI-(K), 

 meaning literally EAGLE-THEIR-OCCURRENCE- (PLACE). As to the appro- 

 priateness of the name, I have been told by Mr. J. H. Waddell,of South Maitland, 

 near the Point, that eagles formerly nested upon the elevated wooded summit, and 

 occasionally do so to this day. 



Practically the same word, in the form GTPOTJOEGATIG, with the meaning 

 YOLTNG EAGLES PLACE has been given me by Father Pacifique as the name of 

 a mountain between Indian House Brook and the Patapedia, on the Restigouche 

 River. 



KLOOPSKEACADIE. The Micmac name for Bird Island, given by Rand 

 in the form CLOOPSKE-AKADE^ meaning MURRE-LAND (First Reading Book, 

 83), and also as KLOOPSKEAAKADE (English- Micmac Dictionary, 37). He gives 

 no further location, but presumably refers to Bird Islands, a small group lying off 

 Beaver Harbour on the southeastern coast of Nova Scotia; for this is the only place 

 of the name that I can find in Rand's territory, while, moreover, he gives a good many 

 names of places in that vicinity. The termination is typically our familiar -A-KA'DI- 

 (K), earlier explained (page 380); and Rand gives the Micmac name KLOOPSKE, 

 for the MURRE, (op. cit. 47), a very prominent sea-bird of this coast. Thus the 

 name in full would be KLOOPSKE-Â-KA'DI-(K), meaning liternlly MURRES- 

 THEIR-OCCURRENCE-(PLACE). 



Precisely the same word, in the form KLOOPSKEÂKADE. with the meaning 

 AWK-LAND, is given by Rand in his Micmac-English Dictionary, 183, for a place 

 named Cloopsky Point. I am unable to find any such place, and I think it likely that
