    FROM THE TRANSACTIONS OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF CANADA THIRD SERIES—1914 VOLUME vin An Organization of the Scientific Investigation of the Indian Place«nomenclatiire of the Maritime Provinces of Canada by W. F. GANONG. M.AHBb.E OTTAWA PRINTED FOR THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF CANADA 19 14 Transactions of The Royal Society of Canada SECTION II SERIES III DECEMBER 1914 VOL. VIII An Organization of the Scientific Investigation of the Indian Place- nomenclature of the Maritime Provinces of Canada, (Fourth Paper). By W. F. GANONG, M.A., Ph.D. (Read by Title May 27, 1914.) This paper is identical in aim and method with its three pre­ decessors, which were published in the immediately foregoing volumes of these Transactions. In a word, I am trying to apply the principles of scientific analysis to a very interesting subject especially prone to doubt and error. The comparative method which I use, explained in the introduction to the first paper, is proving wonderfully successful in solving the problems, as this paper will further illustrate. For convenience of reference I may add that the former papers made analysis of the names Oromocto, Magaguadavic, Upsalquitch, Manan, Nepisiguit, Kouchibouguac, Anagance, Wagan, Pokiok, Penniac, Bocabec, Pentagoet-Penobscot, Pohenegamook, and Cobs- cook, and used the roots thus made available in the analysis of a good many other words, both existent and extinct, of lesser importance. Of these extinct Indian names,—indigenous to the country, ap­ propriate to the places, and often reducible to a highly pleasing form, —the greater number may be revived to obvious advantage when additional place-names become needed in future; and I have tried to suggest simplified and softened forms for such purpose.

The 150 Books of Influence Project Committee recognizes the support of the Province of Nova Scotia. We are pleased to work in partnership with the Department of Communities, Culture and Heritage to develop and promote our cultural resources for all Nova Scotians. Final publication date November 2017. Books are our finest calling card to the world. The stories they share travel far and wide, and contribute greatly to our global presence. Books have the power to profoundly express the complex and rich cultural life that makes Nova Scotia a place people want to visit, live, work and play. This year, the 150th Anniversary of Confederation provided Public Libraries across the province with a unique opportunity to involve Nova Scotians in a celebration of our literary heritage. The value of public engagement in the 150 Books of Influence project is demonstrated by the astonishing breadth and quality of titles listed within. The booklist showcases the diversity and creativity of authors, both past and present, who have called Nova Scotia home.

Distribution is restricted to institutions or individuals located in particular regions of Canada. However, no restriction is placed on subject matter, and the series reflects the broad interests and policies of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, namely, fisheries and aquatic sciences. Manuscript reports may be cited as full publications. The correct citation appears above the abstract of each report. Each report is abstracted in Aquatic Sciences and Fisheries Abstracts and indexed in the Department’s annual index to scientific and technical publications. Numbers 1–900 in this series were issued as Manuscript Reports (Biological Series) of the Biological Board of Canada, and subsequent to 1937 when the name of the Board was changed by Act of Parliament, as Manuscript Reports (Biological Series) of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada. Numbers 901–1425 were issued as Manuscript Reports of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada. Numbers 1426–1550 were issued as Department of Fisheries and the Environment, Fisheries and Marine Service Manuscript Reports. The current series name was changed with report number 1551. Manuscript reports are produced regionally but are numbered nationally.

This may be done in partnership with other agencies and through agreements with non-government organizations. In 1998, 31 areas were designated under the Wilderness Areas Protection Act (1998, c.27, amended 2005, c.56, s.18) (the Act). Two additional areas, Gully Lake and Eigg Mountain-James River WAs, were designated in 2005. In total, the 33 WAs protect approximately 295,400 hectares (ha), which represents approximately 5.3% of the land area of Nova Scotia. When all categories of legally protected land are considered, approximately 8.2% of Nova Scotia is protected. The Environmental Goals and Sustainability Act (2007, c.7) focuses on the health of the environment, economy, and people of Nova Scotia. The legislation’s major objective is for Nova Scotia to have one of the cleanest, most sustainable environments while achieving economic prosperity equal to or greater than the national average (Government of Nova Scotia 2008).
