he described as ga very intelligent
Indian of ST. Francis, P. O." that
"Missisquoi was originally Masseep-
skee, the Land of Arrow Flints, while
the river now bearing that name was
the Backward-run-
ming Stream"
Zsdock Thompson, the Vermont
historian, says that the word, which
he spells "Missisco," giving also
eighteen different spellings of it,
which he had found in print is de-
rived by some from "Mse," meaning
much, and "Mskeco," grass; by
others from "Missi," much, and
''Kiscoo," water fowl.

ORIGIN OF THE INDIAN NAME,
MISSISQUOI.

The Bedford News, published at st.
Johns and Bedford, P. O., prints in
recent issue the following from Mr.. E.
l.. Watson of Durham, P. O.:
Sir.-The desire to meet with the
true origin of the word 'Missisquo"
is now subject of great interest 10
the people and me bers of the Mis-
sisouoi Historical Society. At their
late excursion to Isle aux Noix, Mr..
William Mead Pattison, of Clarence
willie. gave an able treatise upon the
Indian tribes of Canada and northern
New York, making a suggestion that
the word "Missisquoio was with
great probability derived from the
Mississagua tribe, formerly inhabit-
ING northern New York state. l was
much struck with the apparent prob
ability. and drew attention to once
very celebrated work of travels by
Isaac Weld, a man of education,
means. and influence, who made
leisurely excursion under the guild
ance of the Indians from New York
into Canada in 1898, and whose work
went through many editions, and
whose cuts and illus trations have
been copied and recopied in Canada,
until the original source has been lost
sight of. He speaks of the "Mississa
guis'' as frequenting the northern
border, aud the shores of Lake On
tario. The spelling of the word only
differs in the insertion of letter A
from that of the usual one time way
of spelling. He devotes three pages
in his fourth edition, first volume, to
describing their peculiarities, and
their modes of fishing and hunting.
He says that the "Mississaguis" sup
