None of these names appear in Encyclopedia of Newfoundland and Labrador as a separate entry; those that appear in Gazetteer of Canada - Newfoundland and Labrador (GNL) have their map coordinates in column 2. Bay names are included where it appears obvious from the latitude and longitude. Some may be "trick" names to further test the applicants' knowledge. A number appearing in brackets (4) indicates there are 4 places with the same name in Gazetteer of Canada - Newfoundland and Labrador.

Communities in this list that also appear in an 1892 Post Office list of Island communities are marked there, showing they were extant from 1892 until 1955, at least. Many, not abandoned, were swallowed up by municipal reorganizations (eg. Aaron Arm is part of Burgeo); others, abandoned, were part of communities listed as abandoned in the Gazetteer (eg. Gallows Harbour, Placentia Bay was an alternate name for the abandoned community of St. Josephs or Great St. Josephs).
