 on the Kennebecasis.

 this name, see Monograph on Boundaries, 407. 



Monash Cove. — Presumably Micmac, but origin not known to me.

 Indian, Naraguisls (see Select Committee Report of 1861, 17, 70). Pos- 

 sibly connected with Islaraguagus (Naleguagus, which see). 



Naieguagus. — Name, still used, of a rapid on Salmon River, Queens County
