The name of" Montreal " is however borne by two old towns in Franco, near the Spanish frontier, and 18 to-day the territorial title of a noble French family. May wo not suppose it to have been borrowed from one of these sources, and not made for the colony in theJJew World? although its appositeness as equiv- alent in meaning to "Moiit-Roval" was probably not overlooked, — unless indeed this name for the Wil be not of later date. t "Mountainian," from "Mountainia," — a name here proposed for the tasliionable quarter of Montreal, towaid tiio Mountain (Mount Koyal).
