[ganong] additions TO MONOGRAPHS 29 



Place-nomenclature. 



Kent.— P. 1S27. Compare also Fisher's Sketches, 41. The " Kent " regi- 

 ment is sai« locally to have been settled here in 1S17,— compare MiJ- 

 ifarii ."Settlements in Settlements Monograph. 



Kent, County.— Established 1826, and, of course, named in honour of H.R.H. 

 the Duke of Kent, father of Queen Victoria. 



Keswick.— As Madame Kesickk on Sproule's map of 1787 (later, Map No. 38). 

 Compare Kedgwic'k. 



Ketepec (formerly button on the C.P.R.).— Recent simplification of the Indian 

 name of Grand Bay (see earlier in these addenda). 



Kewadu Lake. — Appeared first on the geological survey map of 1887, placed 

 there by Dr. Ells, who tells me he obtained it from a guide who had 

 hunted much with the Indians. It is said locally to mean Indian 

 Devil Lake; Dr. Ells' recollection is that he was told it meant Beaver 

 Lake. No doubt it is Micmac, though I cannot trace it farther. 



Kilfoil. — So named by the Post Office Department for a prominent resident. 



Kilmaquac. — This name of the former Indian village of St. Croix, opposite 

 Vanceboro, appears to survive in the Kill-mc-quhlc Rips, at that place. 

 (19th Rep. U. S. Geol. Survey, Vol. 4, page 49). 



Kilmarnock, Cove, C. — Used in Acts of Assembly for 1830. Though not 

 on maps, it is still in use. No doubt it originated with James Boyd, 

 a well-known pre-Loyalist settler, who was connected with the Boyds 

 of Kilmarnock, Scotland. (See Courier Series, XLI). 



Kingsclear. — A local tradition asserts, as Dr. Raymond tells me, that this 

 name originated froin " King's clearings, " applied in pre-Loyalist days 

 to the open space left by the cutting of the King's pine-trees (which 

 there Avere abundant) for the Royal Navy. 



Kingston, Kent. — Changed in 1901 to lieœtnn, which see. Kingston was at 

 one time known simply as "The Yard" (shipyard), but when Messrs. 

 Holderness and Chilton, of Kingston, England, established a business 

 there, the place was so named in compliment to them. 



Kouchibouguac, Kent. — Several other early u.'-es of this name that I have 

 found begin with Pi: thus Pichiboiigiiack, 1803 Land Memorials; Pissa- 

 heguake, 1803 (Winslow Papers, 499); Passibiguac, 1812, Land Memorials; 

 Pichihrjuquacl-, plan of 1815. In one of his lectures on New Brunswick 

 rivers, published in early newspapers, M. H. Perley derives this name 

 from Kofjhairaak, meaning Cariboo plain. 



Labouchere Lake. — It appears on the Land Company's plan of 1834. Labou- 

 chere was, in 1839, Under Secretary for War and the Colonies, and 

 President of the Board of Trade, and very probably held some position 

 in 1834 entitling him to this honour. 



La Coote, Lake and Stream, York. — No doubt named for the Indian La Coote, 

 who lived just above Vanceboro (see Historic Sites, 223, and Aca- 

 diensis, I, 195). On an old plan just at the outlet of this lake is 

 placed Ticket Madeoukai, evidently an Indian word.
