This paper is identical in aim and method with its predecessor, 
which was published in the preceding volume of these Transactions. 
In brief, | aim to apply the principles of exact scientific analysis to a 
subject which is at one and the same time unusually interesting and 
remarkably encumbered with doubt and error. This comparative - 
method, of which the details were explained in the introduction to the 
preceding paper, is elucidating remarkably the problems of the subject, 
as the present contribution will further illustrate. 
For convenience of reference I may add that the former paper 
thus treated the names Oromocto, Magaguadavic, Upsalquitch, and 
Manan, and some related words involving the same roots. In the present — 
paper I have carried out more fully the discussion of the different 
names having identical roots, especially in the case of Kouchibouguae, . 
Anagance and Wagan, thus giving greater prominence to the extinct 
names, which can be restored to great advantage for literary or other - 
purposes. 
It only remains to add that in the matter of pronunciation, I | 
have myself made use only of the ordinary English sounds of the 
letters. Rand in his Reader and two Dictionaries uses exactly the same : 
sounds and signs which are employed in English Dictionaries for ex- 
plaining the pronunciation, excepting that in his Miemac-English Dic- 
tionary his editor uses the letters te to express the soft sound of ch (as 
in church). Gatschet and M. Chamberlain both use the standard 
alphabet of philologists, in which the vowels are sounded for the most. 
part in the continental manner.
