For the position of the settlement in relation to the modern topography 
of the island, as nearly as they can be harmonized, consult Fig. 14 This 
view, and the plan on the map of the island (Fig. 8), while agreeing in gen- 
eral, do not harmonize in details. 


in chapter IV., he speaks of it as ‘‘a little islet a short distance from the 
island,’ and Lescarbot speaks of it in the same way; hence we may infer 
that, despite the appearance on Champlain’s map, this islet was then partially 
separated from the main island, probably with a ‘‘ saddle” or dip between 
them, extending down a few feet but not to the beach. 
2 It is likely that the black flies rather than the true mosquitoes are meant. 
In the present cleared condition of the island, neither mosquitoes nor black 
flies are ever troublesome, though the tiny midges are somtimes so.
