[ganong] additions TO MONOGRAPHS 15 



Place -nomenclature. 



at Alva, in Scotland, are Johnstons. It seems to me possible that 

 Hon. Hugh Johnston was connected in some way with them, and 

 that where he or Donaldson, both Scotchmen and prominent residents 

 of St. John, named a Loch near his property for his native land, the 

 other followed suit. In this case Perley did not give the name, but 

 simply adopted it. 



Andover. — P. 1S33. Said locally to have been so named by Mr. Sisson, an 

 early resident, who came from that place in England. 



Antinouri Lake. — This curious name is used locally, but its origin is un- 

 known to residents in the vicinity. It seems to make its first appear- 

 ance on the Geological Survey map of 1881, but Dr. R. W. Ells, autiior 

 of that map, tells us he does not know its origin, though he obtained 

 it from his guides in 1880. Recently, however, Mr. D. McMillan, who 

 has long known that region well as Surveyor, has given me an origin 

 which I believe to be correct, namely, that in former days the lake 

 was called by the old residents Anthony Ree's, or Antony Ree's lake, 

 after an old hunter of that name. He adds that one Anthony Ree 

 was not long since a resident of Bathurst. This, pronounced by Dr. 

 Ells' French guides, and taken down phonetically, would very natur- 

 ally give Antinouri. Locally, it is said to be pronounced an-tin-oo-re, 

 with accent on the third syllable. 



Aroostook. — On D. Campbell's map of 1785 as Restook, followed by others. 

 I think it very probable that Woolastook, Aroostook, Restigouche, and the 

 Micmac name Lustagoochccch of the Miramichi are all fundamentally 

 the same word, all signifying something akin to our phrase " The 

 Main River." Campbell also calls it Jacquo's River. In a return of 

 Indians living at Tobique in 1841 the names Jacques and Jacquo both 

 occur. I have no doubt that the name was given it by the French 

 for some chief whose especial hunting ground it was, a method of 

 origin characteristic of many of our river names (compare Place- 

 nomenclature, 189). 



Arthuret. — Historically and in every other way a better form than the recent 

 Arthurette. 



Atherton. — Supposed by Raymond (Coll. N.B. Hist. Soc. I, 331) to have 

 been applied at one time to Fredericton, but he writes me this is 

 entirely a mistake, due to a misreading of an early letter. 



Aucpac. — A collection of the remarkably-diverse spellings of this word has 

 been made by Raymond in his "St John River" (page 142). Earlier 

 uses are found in the census of 1733, having Ecoupay, in a document 

 of 1735 in the Nova Scotia Archives (II, 98), naming Oepagne (mis- 

 print no doubt for Ocpaque), and in a treaty of 1721 given in Baxter's 

 " Pioneers of France in New England " (page 118) as Kouupahag. 



Aulac. — Occurs first in a document of 1746-1747, mentioned by Parkman. 

 Called " Number 1 " in early times by the English because including 

 No 1 " body " of marsh (viz., a mass of marsh enclosed by a single 

 dike).
