20 ROYAL SOCIETY OF CANADA 



Plare-yujwenclaiure. 



Canterbury. — P. 1855. No doubt named in honour of Hon. Manners-Sutton, 

 in that year Governor of the Province, who himself became Lord 

 Canterbury in 1869. The fact that this parish and Manners-Sutton 

 were named in the same year is very strongly confirmatory of this 

 explanation. 



Car, Pointe au. — Without doubt a corruption of Pointe au Quart, that is, 

 point of the square or right angle, which is precisely descriptive. All 

 stages in the development of the word may be followed through the 

 references under Quart-Point in the Place-nomenclature. 



Caraquet. — Locally pronounced with very strong accent on the first syllable. 

 The plan of Caraquet River, made by Davidson in 1S36, has the fol- 

 lowing names for the brooks forming its branches, reading from 

 above downwards: — Innisliannon, Youngs, Adams, Scrhy, Taiiris, Esk, Ewes, 

 Waughopc, Bcrtrands. Some of these are evidently local, but others 

 V appear to be fanciful, and their origin is not plain. 



Carleton Lake, in York County. — Called in a grant to Francis Allen in 1827 

 Carlton Lake, and said to have been named for Governor Carleton. 



Carleton, Mount. — The highest mountain in New Brunswick (about 2,700 

 feet). It was unnamed until 1899, when it was called in honour of 

 the first Governor of New Brunswick (Bull N. H. S. IV, 251). 



Carleton, St. John. — On this name and proposed alternatives see Raymond, 

 Canadian History Readings, 51. Also on the Carletons, and places 

 named for them in Canada, see Johnson, in Canadian Magazine, XII, 



289. 



Carleton, Fort. — A temporary name of the military post at Presquile. 



Caron Point. — On plan of 1828 as Carron Point. Caron is a French family 

 name, and it is likely it was given for some such person. There is 

 a Caron Brook in Madawaska. There is, however, a Loch Caron in 

 Scotland, and it may possibly be a repetition of that. 



Cassies Point. — For the Acadian family Cassie, originally the Irish Casey, 

 early grantees there. 



Cavanaghlisht. — ^(Of Place-Nomenclature, 224) is a misprint of Cavanagh's 

 Point, which is in the Land Memorials for 1798. 



Caverhill. — So named for Dr. Caverhill, a leader among tjie first settlers. 



Chaloupe, Ruisseau La. — See under St. Simon, later. 



Chamcook. — In the St. Andrews Standard, for Oct. 7, 1837, is advertised for 

 sale "at Beau-Sejour, on the premises, the eastern half of Ministers lot 

 (so called) .... at a short distance from the Chamcook Mills 

 . . . . bounded by the waters of Passamaquoddy Bay, Craig's Land 

 and the property of the Church .... on the lot are two dwell- 

 ing houses, one at Beau-Sejour, the other at Weepemaw .... 

 private road leads through the lot to Tasse d'argent Cove on the bay, 

 which forms a good harbour for small vessels." I have no further 

 information as to these interesting names.
