D. — Fort Folly. Tliis conHÙlerable reservation is on the Petitcodiac, a mile and 

 H half nlxtve Folly Point. It Wiis l's^tabli.siu'd in 1839, and from its very 

 favourable situation is probably an ancient camp site. The Indians removed 

 here from near I)(irclicst<T, whence it is sometimes calU-d tlie Dorchester 

 Reserve. 



At the lu-ad of tin- Memramcook is a branch called on some maps (as 

 Wilkinson's) ImlUin strnini. It was probably s(j named becau.>Je it was part 

 of the old Indian porta},'!- from tliis rixrrto the Scatlouc, and not because 

 of an Indian settlement. 



jj — Just to the northward of thi' moutli of Siicpody River is a small island called 

 on the charts IiifUmi Tslatid, which pt-rhaps marks a resort of theirs. 



F.— Dorchester. Early maps, particularly the line Frencli map of the Isthmus of 

 1755(177!)) places "Indiens" with a number of houses on some stream 

 south of the presi'iit Dorchester, but the topography is too imperfect to allow 

 us to locate this settlement exactly. It may have been on John.ston's Creek 

 flowing into (Jiand Ance, or on Palmer brook ju.st south of Dorchester. A 

 resi»lent, Mr. S. C. W. Chapman, of Dorchester, tells me there was before 

 l.s;34an Indian settlement near Dorchestc^r, where Sackville street crosses 

 Pahner Brook, east of tlie brook and north of the road. He states there was 

 anotlier on the Chapman farm, north of Dorchester, south of the road to 

 Woodhurst. The Indians from both of these settlements afterwards settled 

 on tlie Fort Folly Reserve (.see above, D) often called the Dorchester Reserve. 



Q. — Westcock. I am told by ]Mr. Chapman, of Dorchester, there w;xs formerly an 

 imi)ortant camping ground on Westcock Brook, with a trail between it and 

 tliat on Palmer Brook, near Dorchester. Another was on Allan Brook, near 

 Wood Point. 



H. — ^Midjic. This is said by the Indians to have been formerly one of their most 

 important camping grounds. 



I.— Cape Tormentine. South of tliis point the map marks Indian Point, known 

 to be a fuiiiier camping place. An account of tlie relics found here has been 

 published by \V. L. tioodwin, in Canadian Record of Science, Jan., 1893. 



It is said that important settlements in the last century existed at Tid- 

 nish and Agamore Heads, in \Nova Scotia. Franquet's map, given later in 

 this paper (Map No. 2(3) shows traces of Indian settlement near Baie Yerte, 

 and he mentions the cabins of five or six families of Indians between Fort 

 ( Jaspereau and Bay Verte. 



,i. The Richibucto District. 



On the small island at Shediac, called ImVutn Tsbind, are remains of a small fort to 

 be described lat^-r ; po.«sibly it w:is nota French, but an Indian fort. It is 

 said there were formerly important camping grounds at the mouths of the 

 Shediac and Sca<lonc Rivers. There is a small reserve at Shediac not now 

 occupied. 



A.— Indian Point, Buctouche. A plan of 1794 marks "Indian Village" just 

 west of tiie point, l)etW(HMi it and Mescogones, or Black River. The present 

 Buctouclie Settleiiieiit and lieserve is about two miles west of Buctouche 

 Village. 



B. — Richibucto. .\ lai-ge Indian vilhige and Fort formerly existed on this river. 

 It is (irst distinctly referred to by Denys in 1()72 (p. 170), who says it stood 

 on the bonU-r of the Itasin. " Le Capitaine de Rechibouctoii . . . a sur
