 NOTE. 
 
 The following list of Micmac names of places, rivers, etc., 
 in Nova Hcotia and neighborhood was compiled, at my 
 request, by Miss Elizabeth Frame, of Shubenacadie, for the 
 library of the Massachusetts Historical Society, and was 
 duly presented at the meeting on June 9, 1892. She was 
 aided in her labors by a Micmac Indian, as well as by the 
 published works of Mr. Gesner and Dr. Rand. It is now 
 printed at the expense of a gentleman of Cambridge, who 
 is interested in Indian philology. 
 
 S. A. G. 
 Boston, August 20, 1«92. 
 
TiiK Mi(Mua(! It'ft no sculptured gods, 
 
 No temples iiiadti of stone; 
 In misty caves, in storm-tossed clouds, 
 
 ^lanitou dwelt alone. 
 
 But names remain on hill and plain 
 
 Of this ()n(!e powerful race, 
 And in those lifpiid Micmao words 
 
 Their presence yet we trace 
 
 Where Asjiatogon lifts her brow, 
 
 Unblushing, to the sea; 
 Where crashing ice-cakes dash and break 
 
 On lonely Stiatarie ; 
 
 Where turbid waters seethe and foam 
 liound Glooscap, Chebooktook ; 
 
 On Tusket's Isles .vhere sea-gulls rest, 
 And heron on I'anuke ; 
 
 The rusliing tides in l^esitjuid, 
 
 And Sliubonacadie ; 
 The level meads of Tantramar; 
 
 The falls of Konomee. 
 
 No Micmac now on Cobequid 
 
 Hunts moose or caribou; 
 And alien races change the names 
 
 Which first were named by you. 
 
 E. F. 
 
SOUND OF LETTERS IN MICMAC. 
 
 TiiK consonants are sounded as in English: g i.-- Iways hard, 
 as in yn, ,'</,!, and o exactly like; k ; ch as in ohiir, .. ; h follow- 
 ing a vowel in the same syllable (as in ahk) is a soft guttural, 
 like the German rh in Ich. Tliere is no ./' in Micmac ; when at- 
 tempting to pronounce Frencdi or English words which contain 
 this letter, the Indians give it the sound of /> or />. 
 
 The vowels are sounded thus: a, as '\\\ fatlu-i- ; S, as m fute; 
 a, as in fitf; a, as the second a in nhaff; e, as in me; 6 as in 
 imtt; ei, as i in phu;; I, as i in inu; o, as in no; 6 as in nof; u, as 
 in fiiite, use; tt, as in tub; oo, as in fool, wore; 66 as in 7^)0//, 
 wood; ow, as in mm. When any vowel is doubled, as aa, aa, ee, 
 o, the usual sound is prolonged, and takes the accent, but the 
 place for the accent is the peimlt. 'M or 'N at the beginning of 
 a word with the accent marked, is sounded without a vowel. 
 
 The following are examples of the peculiarity termed "holo- 
 phrastic," where a single word stands for a sentence: — 
 
 Boon, the sitting place, the cross-piece on which the pad- 
 dler sits. 
 
 Bodseugch, let us take a trip by water, let us go in a canoe. 
 
 ijpkwdse, I have a shelter from the rain over my head. 
 
 Kamatk, bushes yonder, beyond a cleared place. 
 
 Ngspe, to be sto])ping in the wigwam to take care of it, 
 while the others are away. 
 
 New6pskitk, the bed of the river is dry, and the rocks are 
 bare. 
 
 W6pk, the morning light, — " the opening of the eye of the 
 morning."
