1535, 0n his second voyage, was informed by his two Indians who 
were with him that red copper came from Saguenay, meaning the 
Lake Superior region. He says, “ The savages that we had with 
us told us that here was the beginning of Saguenay, and that the 
country was inhabited, and that from thence came the red copper 
which they called caignetdaze.” Other references to this same 
caignetdaze are given from Cartier, and an extract from Champlain 
on copper implements. Prof. Abbe asks whether this word 
caigneétdaze may have any connection with the origin of the word 
Canada. We have been under the impression that the Iroquois 
Kanata gave rise to the word Canada ; flag perhaps some of the 
readers of the NATURALIST can shed some light upon the subject. 
umbers 2, 3 and 4 of IPER A tly contain a few 
papers of general interest. In number 2 we have a communica- 
tion by Dr. von Christ before the Anthropological Society of 
Munich, upon Schliemann’s excavations at Mycene, and a pros- 
pectus of the T bigs eae ta exhibition at Moscow. 
In number 3, Prof. H. er, of Freiburg, gives some further 
information upon the diffusion of hatchets of nephrite, jadeite and 
chloromelanite, especially in Europe. Dr. Korbin, of Berlin, 
contributes to number 4 a paper on new anthropological meas- — 
uring apparatus and methods. In the same number Mr. In agy vald 
numbers 10-12 of 1878, and 1-3 of 1879, also furnish original 
papers of general interest. It will be impossible to give more 
than the titles of the articles: Prahistorische Eisenschmeltz und
