allels of 40 and 46°, which as shown on an earlier page’ was supposed 
to include a natural geographical region, namely, that coast believed 
to run nearly east and west between Cape Breton and Massachusetts 
Bay. 
Although boundaries were often marked by flags in early maps, no 
boundary lines were drawn upon any map of this period that I have 
seen, with the single exception of the Molyneux Globe of 1592, recently 
published by Miller-Christy in his “Silver Map of the World.” That 
map shows a dotted line starting from the Atlantic coast of the present 
Nova Scotia running north to about 49°, then swinging to the west 
and somewhat southward. I suspected that this line was not a boundary

quiries, the librarian has had the great kindness to write me that this 
line is a true boundary, for the country is coloured red on the north of 
it, and green on the south. The line runs westward along about the 
46th parallel to disappear behind an inscription, while a similar line 
runs northward, apparently to join it, from the northwest angle of the 
Gulf of Mexico. The significance of this boundary is however un- 
known to me.
