PHILOLOGY OF THE OTJANANICHE 47 



which is to be found both in The Practical Angler 

 and in Where the Trout Hide, as well as in the many 

 charming contributions of their author to the leading 

 American magazines of sport. It occurs also in some 

 of the writings of Mr. Charles Hallock, as also do the 

 forms " ouininnish" and " wananishe." " Ouininnish " 

 appears in Hallock's Sportsman's Gazetteer, and " wa- 

 nanishe" in his paper on the salmon in Shields' s Amer- 

 ican Game Fishes. In the folders of some of the 

 American railways the name is spelled " ouinaniche," 

 and so it is incidentally, as a synonym, by Mr. J. G-. 

 Aylwin Creighton, of Ottawa. The same orthog- 

 raphy was employed no later than March, 1894, in a 

 review of a new book in the columns of EEvenement 

 newspaper of Quebec, and Eev. Duncan Anderson 

 uses it in A Dominion Day Idyll. It is one of the 

 many forms of the name employed by Mr. J. M. Le 

 Moine, F.K.S.C., who at page 263 of his Chasse et 

 peche au Canada uses also the plural " ouinaniches." 

 At page 242 of the same work Mr. Le Moine uses 

 " ouinnaniche," for which spelling I know of no other 

 authority, and in the appendix he writes it "winno- 

 niche," employing still another form in a later work, 

 as will be seen further on. Mr. William C. Harris, 

 in the 1885 edition of his Angler's Guide, also writes 

 " winnoniche." Mr. J. Edmond Eoy, F.K.S.C., in his 

 Voyage au pays de Tadoussac, gives us "ouananish." 

 " Winninisch " is written by C. M. Palmer, of Minne- 

 apolis, at page 71 of Favorite Flies, by Mary Orvis 

 Marbury, and " winnonish " is the spelling found on 

 a board nailed to a tree on the shore of Lake Tscho- 

 tagama, some fifty miles up the Grand Peribonca, and
