of having been made iudependeutly of No. 1. Its author is unkuowu, but he must have 

 had an actual knowledge of the St. Johu Eiver, for both Preneuse and Jemseg, the only- 

 other places marked on the river, are in their proper positions ; just where we know from 

 other evidence they really were. "We can hardly conceive that only thirty-five years after 

 its fall, and when its position could not have been confounded with that of any later 

 built fort (Villebon's after 1696 being the earliest of which we have any record), that a 

 map-maker, whose knowledge of the river enabled him to correctly place the only other 

 places marked on it, could have erred as to the site of Fort La Tour. 



Map No. 3. — The map of 1689, made by Coronelli and Tillemon, published in Paris,

 not accessible to DuVal, as witness a number of very different names upon the north

A Chart of Nein France, Newfoinidland, New Scot/and and jiarl of Neir England. Bi/ Jer. 

 Seller and Cha. Price, of which a sketch is herewith given. There is every reason to believe 

 that this crude map was in large part made by Cyprian Southack, an English captain who 

 coasted much on the shores of Acadia and who made several maps of this region. His 

 name appears frequently upon this map, and its whole appearance corresponds closely
