[&ANoNG] BOUNDARIES OF NEW BRUNSWICK 215 
before 1700 which extends the name Nova Scotia or New Scotland to 
the peninsula. After 1713 however, the English maps naturally begin 
to extend the name to the peninsula, while of course the French did 
not. 
The English and French commissioners cite a number of maps in 
support of their respective claims ; some of these are here cited, but 
others, notably those by Berry, Morden and Thornton are unknown 
to me. 
We consider next the maps showing actual boundary lines. The 
earliest that I have found is that of 1640-1650 given by Winsor, (Am- 
erica IV., 202), on which a dotted line is drawn from a river apparently

ing into the St. Lawrence, when it swings to the northeast giving the 
basin of the St. Lawrence to the French. This is apparently the ear- 
liest attempt to place the bounds of Nova Scotia upon a map, and 
represents the earliest map known to me on which any New Bruns- 
wick boundary line is drawn, and it is the more interesting in that it 
is French (Map No. 9). I cannot explain the aberrent features of 
this rather remarkable map. The next to show a boundary is that of 
Sanson of 1656 (Map No. 10) in which a boundary between New 
England and the French possessions is drawn from just east of the 
Kennebec to the watershed, which it follows southeast, a view entirely 
in accordance with the views and desires of the French at that time, 
but one in which the English by no means acquiesced, as our preced- 
ing narrative shows. This boundary was repeated upon a map of 1663 
given by Winsor (America, IV., 148), upon Duval of 1677 and no
