form WÔSOGWËSOOGWÔDE {English- Micmac Dictionary, 195). This Petite 

 must of course represent Petite Riviere, now called on our maps Walton River, 

 emptying into Minas Basin about one-third of the way from the Avon to the Shuben- 

 acadie, and is not to be confused with Petite Riviere in Lunenburg County west of 

 La Have, a place having a very different 'Indian name. The latter part of the word 

 clearly involves our famihar combination -(A)-KWA'DI, already fully explained 

 (page 377), but the first part, WÔSOGWËSOO, which is presumably the name of 

 some prominent kind of animal or plant, I have not yet been able to interpret, 

 excepting that it bears a certain resemblance to WÏSKÛMAGWAÂSOO, meaning 

 FISH-HAWK (Rand, First Reading Book, 50. WÔSOGOWEECH, meaning THE 

 LIGHTNING-BUG {op. cit. 71), must be excluded because not ending in 00 as 

 this form of termination requires. The obliging Postmaster at Walton River has 

 endeavoured, but thus far in vain, to ascertain whether any special animal or plant 

 was considered characteristic of the place in early times; but I have no doubt that 

 local studies will settle this question. 



C. A list of words containing the termination -ACADIE, which are 



topographical terms, and accordingly may have been elevated to 



place-names, though nowhere thus used, so far as known. 



ALMAWACADIE. ALMAWAKADE, an obvious misprint for ALMAW- 

 AKADE meaning A GERMAN SETTLEMENT (Rand, Micmac-English Dictionary, 

 13), a combination of ALMA, A GERMAN {op. cit.) adopted from the French ALLE- 

 MAND, with -A-KA'DI- meaning THEIR-OCCURRENCE (page 380)^. _ 



KULUMUECHWOPSKWACADIE. KÛLÛMOOÈCHWÔPSKWAAKÀDE, 

 meaning a COAL MINE (Rand, op. cit. 170), a combination of KÛLÙMOOËCH- 

 WÔTSKW meaning COAL {op. cit. 61) with -A-KA'DI, meaning ITS-OCCUR- 

 RENCE, (page 380). This is obviously the GALAMOETJOAPSOEGATIG, 

 meaning COAL MINES IN COUNTY of Father Pacifique's Micmac Almanac, 25. 



KUSAWOGWACADIE. KÛSAWOGWAAKÀDE, meaning MINE OF IRON 

 (Rand, op. cit. 170), a combination of KÛSAWOK, meaning IRON {op. cit. 147)

MADAWESWACADIE. MÀDOOËSWAkADE, meaning A GOOD PLACE

NUMACHWACADIE. NUMACHWA'KADE, meaning PLACE OF FISH, 

 WHERE FISH ABOUND (Rand, English- Micmac Dictionary, 111), a combination 

 of NÛMAACH meaning FISH {op. cit.) with -A-KA'DI meaning THEIR-OCCUR- 

 RENCE (page 380). It is possible that this is the full form of 'MCHAGADICHK, 

 the Micmac name for St. Anns (page 400). 



SEGUNUMACADIE, SEGOONUMA-KADDY, meaning GASPEREAUX 

 PLACE (Rand, in Dawson's Acadian Geology, second edition, 3), a combination of
