Sources of   Information.

In the preparation of this work I have had assistance in many points
from several friends and correspondents, to whom it is here my pleasant
duty to tender my acknowledgments and sincere thanks. On the Indian
names, the late Edward Jack, who knew New Brunswick better perhaps
than any one else, gave me much information. Mr. Michael Flinne,
teacher of the Indian school at Eelground, Miramichi, gathered for me
many names from the Micmacs, and I have been accustomed to call him
my model correspondent. Mr. M. Chamberlain, of Cambridge, most
kindly sent me a list of Indian place-names from his unpublished Maliseet
vocabulary, and Mrs. Wallace Brown has given me many Passamaquoddy
names. That the help given by these students is not mentioned more often
, in the Dictionary is due to the fact that most of the names supplied by
them I have, either before or after receiving their lists, obtained for
myself from thfe Indians, and I have preferred to give my own form ; but
their lists have been valuable for comparison and control of my own.
Rev. W. O. Raymond has given me much aid, especially upon the 'New
England period. From M. Placide Gaudet, by far our best authority
upon the history of the Acadians, I have received many more facts than
I have used in this paper upon the history of the Acadian settlements.
On the naming of the Madawaska parishes, Rev. Father L. N. Dugal has
given me full and perfectly reliable information based upon the records
of the churches there. Mr. S.W. Kain, whose sympathy with such work
as this is an inspiration to its accomplishment, has aided ^at several points.
Mr. Andrew Inches and Mr. Thos. G-. Loggie, of the Crown Land office
at Fredericton, have been particularly patient and obliging under my
persistent questioning. Of others, I wish particularly to mention Father
Guay, of Mission Point, Quebec ; the late W. F. Bunting, of St. John;
Mr. Wm. Mclnnes, of Ottawa ; Mr. John Anderson, of the Barony ; Mr. L.
Alhson, of Sussex; Mr. Louis Mitchell, former Indian member of the
