[ganong] - ADDITIONS TO MONOGRAPHS 27 



Place-nomenclature. 



Hardwood Island.— Called White Wood Island in 1785 in the Land Memorials. 



Hastings. — Named by Hon. A. R. McClelan in honour of Hastings Doyle, 

 then Governor of the Province. 



Hecklars Cove. — West of Jacquet River; mentioned by Cooney, 203; location 

 and origin not known to me. 



Hospital Island.— Fully explained in St. John Sun of Aug. 27, or 28, 1903 

 In 1848 the "Star" immigrant ship arrived with many immigrants 

 to work on the new railway, and among these were many fever pa- 

 tients who died, and to the number of 48 were buried on this island. 



Howard Settlement. — Former name of the present Canterbury Station; named 

 no doubt in honour of Sir Howard Douglas. 



Howardville. — Town laid out at mouth of Cains River in 1826, by order ol 

 Sir Howard Douglas, and, of course, named in honour of him. 



Huskisson. — P. 1S26. In honour of William Huskisson, in that year one ol 

 the plenipotentiaries {Addiiigtoti being the other) to settle the dis- 

 puted boundary question. No doubt it was hoped and expected they 

 would secure a decision favourable to New Brunswick. 



Indian Island. — Called Fish Inland on the Morris map of 1765. Its early 

 name Perlcins Island was, no doubt, from that of the agent of the 

 proprietors in whose grant it was included in 1765, Beamsley Perkins 

 Glasier. (See Coll. N. B. Hist. Soc, II, 357). 



Inglewood. — The origins of the many interesting names in this Manor are 

 discussed fully in Acadiensis, III, 7. 



Irish River. — This river is wrongly located on Loggie's and the Geological 

 Survey maps, but is correct on Wilkinson, 1859. It is said locally, 

 and no doubt correctly, to be so named for a former Irish immigrant 

 settlement on its upper part. 



Iroquois River. — First appears on the Sproule map of 1787 (see later Map 

 No. 39) as Oroquois, which is probably a corruption of Wolumkuas (or 

 Aoulasqua, as M. P. L. Mercure gives it to me) a Maliseet name, 

 applied to it by Moses Greenleaf in 1823 and on maps of the time. 

 The form Iroquoiz occurs in a document in 1836 in the Boundary blue- 

 book of 1851, 13. It i.s locally pronounced not only Irockwaj% but 

 also Rockway, and it appears thus in Loggie's map of 1898, and also 

 in the newspapers. 



Jacquet River. — Appears as Jacket in 1803 (Winslow Papers, 501), and the 

 same in Land Memorials of 1806. I find the q first on Baillie's map 

 of 1832 iJaquct), while Wilkinson, 1859, appears to have introduced the 

 present form. 



Joes Point. — In the Boundary MS. the American agent in 1797, or about 

 that year, speaks of the mouth of the Scoodic being at " the southwest 

 point of Saint Andrews, or Joze's Patent." This suggests that it 

 was for a grantee, and as Joseph Goreham Mas the first grantee ol
