396 THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF CANADA 



Rand here really refers to Bird Islands, some Point of which, it is possible, was formerly 

 locally known as Cloopsky Point. He certainly slips a little in his identification of 

 the bird, for the Awk is very different from the Murre, which seems clearly the bird 

 described by the root KLOOPSKE. 



I am told by the Postmistress at West Quoddy that the Bird Islands are a 

 locally famous hunting ground for sea-ducks, and other ducks, and that sea-birds 

 breed there. 



KLUNQUADIK. (1) The MaHseet Indian name for Hardwood Creek, a 

 small branch of the Saint John River from the east below Grand Falls in New Bruns- 

 wick. Some years ago the late Edward Jack, who knew these Indians so well, wrote 

 me that the name of the Creek is KLUN-QUA-DIC. Later I obtained the same word 

 from them in the form KLUN-QUA-DIC (as in my notes), with the meaning WHERE 

 THEY MADE A TREATY, which was explained as the place "where their last 

 fight with the Mohawks took place and where a lasting peace was made with them" 

 (these Transactions, II, 1896, ii, 196). The correctness of the application of this name 

 to the place is attested by the fine map of the Saint John made by a skilled surveyor 

 specially interested in Indian nomenclature, Dugald Campbell, where the name 

 reads TRANQUADY (copy in New Brunswick Magazine, II, 1899, 233, corrected 

 by comparison with the original), while a plan that I have seen of 1817 by Johnson, 

 one of the Boundary surveyors, has CLONKUHOT, evidently an abbreviated 

 form, the locative termination being lacking. 



(2). Further, the same word is given by the Passamaquoddies for Musquash, a 

 Harbour on the coast west of the Saint John in New Brunswick. I have myself been 

 given TLAN-QUAH-DIK, with the meaning TREATY PLACE, a form and meaning 

 substantially identical with the above (these Transactions, II, 1896, ii, 255). A 

 few years ago, Lewy Mitchell, one of the chief of the Passamaquoddies and long-time 

 their representative in the Maine Legislature, wrote me that the Passamaquoddy 

 name for Musquash Harbour is TLANGOWATIK, meaning "a place of trade, 

 where the treaty of Peace was made between the Passamaquoddy Indians and 

 Micmacs. Tradition is very interesting." This tradition is given in full, upon 

 Lewy Mitchell's authority, in Leland and Prince, Kuloscap the Master, 26. 



Thus there seems no doubt as to the identity of these two words, and the question 

 now arises whether in reality the traditions have some historical basis, or, as is so 

 often the case, the tradition h^ arisen to explain a word which has in reality another 

 origin. As to this, while I have no proof through intermediate forms and the like, 

 it seems to me possible that this word TLUNQUADIK or KLUNQUADIK is 

 fundamentally identical with the Micmac TLAKADIK, now TRACADIE, discussed 

 later in this paper (page 436), the N representing a trace of the nasal sound so common 

 with the Indians just to the westward. In this case, these two places would indicate 

 just such common assembly places as the Tracadies appear to have been for the 

 Micmacs, and therefore trading places and treaty places. Musquash would be a 

 natural meeting place for the Passamaquoddies with the Indians of the River Saint 

 John, while Hardwood Creek would have formed the assembly place for those of the 

 lower with those of the upper Saint John, the latter centering at Madawaska. This 

 at least is the hypothesis which I advance as a guide to further investigation. 



KOOKWEJAQUODDY. The Micmac name for Jareds Point, according to 

 Rand, who gives the word as COOKWËJOOGWÔDÏK, meaning A HAUNTED 

 PLACE: SPECTRE-LAND (First Reading Book, 90). The construction of the 

 word is clear, for the latter part is evidently our familiar combination -(A)-KA'DI- 

 (K), in the AQUODDY form, as earlier explained (page 377) while the former part 

 is as obviously KOOKWËJOO, meaning SPECTRE (Rand, English- Micmac Diction- 

 ary, 247), making the word in full KOOKWËJOO-(Â)-KA'DI-(K), meaning literally
