[ganong] additions TO MONOGRAPHS 43 



Place-7iomenclature. 



the marine hospital, probably is named from an early Acadian, Jos. 

 Richard, dit des Flattes, though his connection with the place is not 

 known. In the Land Memorials of 1822 I find mention of Marin Island 

 and Niver Ko (near the Forks), both of which seem now unknown. 



Richmond. — Another possible explanation of this name is given by Raymond, 

 in his History of Carleton County, 75th article, when he states that 

 some of the early settlers were from Richmond, N.Y. 



Rivière du Cache. — The preferable form of this name. An additional note 

 of importance on the origin of this name is in the Historic Sites 

 Monograph, 293. 



Rocher, or Rosher. — A form of Roshca, which see. 



Rockwell Stream. — For a grantee, not the stream of that name in Ireland. 



Roilingdam. — It is mentioned in an Act of 1832 (Acts, page 563). The 

 description given in the Place-nomenclature is not exact; it is a dam 

 built on a sandy bottom, and having a slope down as well as up 

 stream in order to prevent it being undermined by the fall. 



Rooskey Lake. — No doubt named by Mahood for one of the five lakes of 

 that name in Ireland. The name is not locally in use; it is called 

 Hurd Lake, for a grantee. 



Roshea. — (Pronounced Ro-zhee). A bay (called on the maps, Salisbury Bay) 

 and a settlement in Albert County. The name is, without doubt, an 

 English corruption of Enrage, the French name of the Cape prominent 

 here, though the name of the cape itself has been from early times 

 Cape Enrage (see Enragé Cape). It occurs as Roshea in the Calhoun 

 Diary of 1771, and in the Land Memorials of 1785 as Cape Rosier and 

 Rosear apparently. In a N. B. Statute of 1875 it is called Roshea Bay. 

 The Post-office name Little Rocher, is, of course a form of this name. 



Rothesay. — In an article in the St. John Globe, of Dec. 14, 1901, it is said: — 

 " On the 4th August, 1860, a deputation of summer residents [at 

 Rothesay] waited on the Prince of Wales on his arrival there to take 

 the steamer for Fredericton, and requested permission to name the 

 young settlement Rothesay, after one of his titles, " Duke of Rothesay." 



Rumbling Mountain. — On the Odell, near Tobique, so called from noises said 

 to be heard there (Bull. N. H. S., V, 237). 



Rusagonis. — The preferable form of this name. 



Sabbies River. — Savoy's River, in Land Memorials of 1818; said locally, and 

 no doubt correctly, to be for a mill owner of that name. 



Sagwa. — Recently named R.R. Station; name from Rand's Micmac Dictionary, 

 meaning tvaist deep tcater (see earlier in these addenda). 



Saint Andrews. — Our knowledge of the origin of this name is fully sum- 

 marized in Acadiensis, II, 184.
