Place-nomenclature, 



is the region still called Quoddy by the fishermen and other local nav- 

 igators, who call the Bay of Passamaquoddy of our maps St. Andrews 

 Bay. In the Boundary MS. it is said that pollock are not taken in 

 the inner bay though abundant in. the outer, which (if correct) is 

 strong confirmation of this use of the word, since Passamaquoddy un- 

 questionably means the place of pollock. 



Paticake Brook. — As Patticake Creek, in Sproule's Map of 1786. 



Paunchy Lake. — A. small lake near Midgic, Westmorland, probably of Mic- 

 imac Indian origin. Pronounced locally like Pawn-che. (It is shown 

 on a map of the region in the Botanical Gazette, XXXVI, 164). 



Pays Bas. — A name used by the Acadians of Madawaska for the lower part 

 of the St. John, French Village and downwards, as I am informed by 

 M. P. L. Mercure. 



Pekonk Hill. — Just on the New Brunswick-Maine boundary west of Rapide 

 de Femme. It is often mentioned in documents connected with the 

 boundary surveys, and is on some of the boundary maps. 



Pèlerin. — A settlement in Kent, named for a family of Acadians of that 

 name, as I find by local inquiry. The name has been wonderfully 

 corrupted on different maps into Pulrang (Loggie, 1884), Pellering 

 (on Postal Map), etc. 



Peltoma. — A chief named Piere Toma is mentioned in Kidder's Revolution- 

 ary Operations, 105. 



Pemwit Branch (of Green River). — Said locally to be so named for an Indian 



who hunted there. 



Perth. — P. 1833. Named, in all probability, in honour of Sir Archibald 

 Campbell, then Governor of New Brunswick, whose birthplace and 

 home seat were in Perthshire, Scotland, though locally said to have 

 been named by patriotic Scotch residents for the place in Scotland. 



Petitcodiac. — Occurs first on de Meulles map of 1686 as Fetcoucoyek. 



Petit Rocher, not Petite Roche. — It occurs thus in Plessis in 1811 (116). 



Philmonro. — So named for a resident of that name (it is said locally), 

 printed on soine maps as Filomaro. 



Pikwaket. — The best spelling for this variously-spelled name. 



Pirate Brook Lake, York. — On an old plan the lake is called Scooncygomskiktic, 

 no doubt its Passamaquoddy name. 



Pisiguit. — Nothing to do with Cowassaget, which see. 



Piskahegan. — On Sproule's map of 1786, where it is called also Grand Fork, 

 perhaps a translation of its Indian name.
