[ganong] additions TO MONOGRAPHS 2 S 



Pin ce-nomenclature. 



Germantown Lake. — The name Germantown (located on Map No. 25 later) 

 was used for the settlement of Shepody in 1768 (Canadian Archives, 

 1886, 488, 492). No doubt it was so named for Germantown, Pennsyl- 

 vania, from which some of the first settlers came. A fine plan of 1801 

 has " German, or Sheppotee Lake." 



Gilmour Brook, Nepisiguit. — Of course for the William Gilmore, the angling 

 schoolmaster, an interesting character described by Lanman in his 

 "Adventures," II, 31-33. 



Glenelg. — P. 1814. So named for the native place in Scotland of Major 

 McDonald of the 7Sth Highlanders, a prominent resident, who settled 

 here about 1790, as I am told by a well-informed local authority, Mr. 

 D. Lewis, of Escum.inac. 



Gloucester, County. — Named in all probability for Mary, fourth daughter of 

 King George III, who married the Duke of Gloucester in 1816 and was 

 devoted to good works. 



Golden Mountain, Albert. — A common corruption of Gowland Mountain, so 

 named for the leading family there. 



Gondola Point. — In this form in the Land Memorials of 1786. 



Gooldsborough, at mouth of the Oromocto. — Explained by Raj'mond in Coll. 

 N. B. Hist. Soc, II, 50. 



Gordon Falls. — Named for Governor Gordon, who visited them while in New 

 Brunswick (local statements and St. John Hun, Aug. 29, 1888). 



Grande Anse, Bay, Dune, Falls, Lake, Point, River, Ruisseau. — The Grand is, 

 of course, a persistence of French nomenclature. As applied to all 

 features, except river and brook, its meaning of big is perfectly appro- 

 priate, since those features are pre-eminently conspicuous in their 

 localities. AVe have, however, also Grand River in Madawaska County, 

 and a Grand Ruisseau in Shippegan (north end), while Eel River at 

 Bay du Vin is also locally so called. These are all compara- 

 tively insignificant streams and the reason for the application to 

 them of the term grand is not obvious. I believe, however, that the 

 word is here used precisely as in the common French phrase grand 

 chemin, which means a " highway." The two great rivers above men- 

 tioned were parts of important early portage-routes, and very likely 

 Grand Ruisseau was part of a route to the interior lakes of Shippegan, 

 though also it may have meant simply the largest brook of the vicinity 



Grande Dune. — Preferable to Grand Dune, because correct French. 



Grandigue. — Presumably so called for the great dike or bar which makes 

 out to the southward from the point. 



Grand John Brook. — Said to be named for an Indian of that name who used 

 to hunt there.
