(lake of many arms or branches, which well describes it ;*) Gulquac 
(meaning unknown) ; Shut, (fire). Certain other Indian names are 
given in reversed italic upon the map, though none of them are now 
in use : Belchesogamook , Maliseet name for Trowsers Lake ( Belches is 
the Indian pronunciation of breeches, i. e., trowsers, and agamook is 
lake ; evidently this is but a translation of the English name and is 
not aboriginal) ;f Quasquispac, Maliseet name for Long Lake (meaning 
unknown) ; A r alaisk, Maliseet name for the Serpentine (meaning 
unknown) ; Paquopsk Maliseet name for the Right Hand Branch 
(means rough river) ; He-be-se-kel , Maliseet name for Portage Lake 
Stream (meaning unknown). | Seguaque-kesk is from Mr. Mclnnes’ 
manuscript map. The name Britt Brook is in common use by lumber' 
men and Indians, but I cannot find its origin. Lhoks was given by 
Gordon, as he tells us, for the Indian nickname of one of his com- 
panions. Campbell was evidently given by Garden in honor of the then 
governor of the province, but it is only a map name not in use locally y 
Don was also given by Garden (perhaps with the English river of that 
name in mind). Four names of lakes on the map are new, and have been 
given by me ; two fine lakes with no special names, but known to the 
guides simply as the second and third Adder Lakes, have been named 
Hind and Mclnnes for the two geologists who have visited and described 
or mapped the region ( Garden is already commemorated in a mountain 
beside Nictor Lake). An hitherto nameless pretty pond at the very 
head of the chain of lakes emptying into Trowsers, is named Furbish 
for Mr. M. I. Furbish of Attleboro Falls, Mass., my companion in the 
mapping of Island Lake and other explorations in the region. Another 
little nameless lake on the inlet of Long Lake is named Tangent Lake 
because of the remarkable way in which the stream just touches it on 
one side. 
Description. — The Negoot region is remarkably uniform in its 
character. Everywhere one is impressed by the innumerable smoothly- 
rounded hills and ridges of moderate height, by the splendid living 
forest which completely covers them, by the number and beauty of the 
lakes, by the swiftness of the streams, by the abundance of big animals 
* Hind says the name does not well describe it, but he could not have seen tl e whole 
lake, for it is an extremely appropriate name. See map. 
t The name Pechayzo given to Gordon by Indians and taken by him for Long Lake, is- 
evidently a form of this name. 
t Mamozekel is a corruption of Hebesekelsis. the Little Hebezekel.
