[ganong] additions TO MONOGRAPHS 31 



Place-nomenclature. 



Long Lookum. — Name of long straight stretches of river on the St. Croix, 

 Nepisiguit and Upsalquitch, no doubt a hybrid Indian-English expres- 

 sion. 



Louison. — I have found several references to the use of this name for In- 

 dians. Thus the Journal of the Survey of the North line in 1818 

 shows an Indian helper named Louison. 



Ludlow. — P. 1814. NamecP no doubt in memory of the brothers, Gabriel G. 

 Ludlow, Administrator of the Province in 1803, and George D., Chief 

 Justice of the Province, both of whom died in 1808. 



Lumsden, in Albert. — Named, as I am told by Hon. A. R. McClelan, in honour 

 of a man with whom negotiations were carried on to bring out set- 

 tlers to the Province. 



Lynnfield. — Said locallj^ to be so named from the hymn-tune of that name, 

 a great favourite of one of the earliest settlers. 



Maces Bay. — On Sproule, 1786, as 'Mac^'R Bay. The origin of this name 

 still eludes me, though I am inclined to believe it is from the Indian 

 Mechescor. It is barely possible it was given by DesBarres. He 

 named many places for contemporary British officers, and there was 

 a Benj. Mace, a surgeon In the 22nd Regiment, serving about that 

 time in America. 



Mactaquac. — Mactaguach on Sproule's map of 1786, and as Mactuquac in the 

 Land Memorials of 1786. 



Magaguadavic. — This is the standard spelling of this word, though its pro- 

 nunciation is invariably " Macadavy." The retention of the longer 

 spelling is no doubt connected with the constant official use of the 

 longer form through the many documents and maps of the Boundary 

 disputes, as shown in the Monograph on Boundaries, 277. 



Magundy. — I think, without doubt, of Maliseet Indian origin. Apparently 

 an early Indian portage to the Magaguadavic Lakes passed by way 

 of this stream (see later in these Addenda under "portages"). Very 

 likely it is the same word as appears in Magundicook and possibly 

 Mooselemeguntic in Maine, and. perhaps, related to Slugundy, which 

 see. This origin is confirmed by the form Magundic Ridge, 1823, in 

 the Land Memorials, and by the local tradition, which also makes it 

 of Indian origin. 



Mainor Lake. — On Loggie's and Geological Survey maps for a branch of 

 the Little Southwest Miramichi. An interesting example of the errors 

 that can arise simply mechanically through misprints, etc., for locally 

 the stream is called. Mains, or the Lake, Branch. 



Mahood Lakes. — A name introduced in 1898 for a group of lakes in Charlotte 

 County, in honour of William Mahood, a prominent early surveyor of 

 the County, and first surveyor of that group. The name, with those 

 of other lakes of the group are explained in the Bull. N. H. S., IV, 57.
