Fawlett, Mount.—'^^^ Mount Pawlett
Pecten Point.—See Mya Point

in that year.   Or possibly in memory of his brother, Sir Robert Peel, English
statesman, who died in 1850.
Peltoma Lake.—Origin uncertain; said locally, and probably correctly, to be for '
an Indian hunter of that name.   Peltoma is Passaiuaquoddy for Pierre Toma,
a common name among them. He was, perhaps, a guide of Mahood's, for the
name occurs first upon a plan of his, of 1836, in its present form.    Also given
to a settlement of 1856 (p. 208).
Pendleton's Island.—For Thomas Pendleton, loyalist, who owned it

In Passamaquoddy TJm-kub-a-hum¥, probably = a bar nearly covered, in?
allusion to the low place between its two high parts. Occurs in a letter of

The island called in Munro, Pietetry, is now Peter's Id.
Penobsquis.—R.R. Sta.   A name manufactured by the R.R. surveyors (p. 209)y
for Stone's Brook, near which it is ; from the Maliseet Penobsq^= a stone,
and sips = a brook.   In its present form it is near the Maliseet Penobsques
= a chub, and is sometimes so translated.
Pere, Point ^'Z^—(Bathurst Harbour).   French = Point of the Father, i.e.. Priest
The tradition is that French priests were once buried there; confirmed by
an old plan which reads, " so called from having a French priest buried
here."   Here possibly stood Denys',Fort; on old plans, also, Allen's Pt, for
a Capt. John Allen, who had a grant here in 1770.

Petersville.—P., 1838.   Said to be in honour of Hon. Harry Peters, of Gagetown,.

then Speaker of the House of Assembly.
Petitcodiac.— From the Micmac Pet-koat-kwee^-ak.   Rand gives Pet-koot-kwe-ak =
the river bends round in a bow.    There can be no doubt that this is the
correct origin.   It is popularly derived from the French words Petit Coude ='
Little Elbow, referring to the bend at Moncton, though it is not explained
how Coude becomes Codiac; nor did the French use> this form in any of their
records, and, without doubt, it represents the effort of the English to restore
a French form to a word supposed to be of French origin (p, 200).
In a document of 1702 as PScoudiak (Rameau, ii., 335).
In Pote's Journal, 1745, as Pettcochack, applied by mistake to the Wash-
ademoac; on Morris, 1749, as Patcotyeak, and in several documents of 1755;
d'Anville map, Patcoutieuk.   A common spelling in French documents is
