_Derivation of "Martinique"_ (Vol. v., p. 11.).--M. de Magnard, in the opening chapter of his novel of _Outre-mer_, says the name of "Martinique" is derived from that which the island had received from the Caribs: "Ce nom de 'Martinique' dérive par corruption de l'ancien nom sauvage et indigène, _Matinina_."
