probably the Shag Rocks, though his map of the haibouralso shows locks 

 near Red Head. 



C. rouge, on bin map, but not in llie naiiativc, was probably Red 

 Head, a conspicuous landmark. 



His Riviere S. lean tstill bears that name, translated to St. John. 

 But Champlain was without doubt in error in stating that the river was 

 called by the Indians Ouygoudi, for this is their name for a village site, as 

 elsewhere explained'. 



Cap St. Jean, of his map, not mentioned in the narrative, is probably 

 Negro Head. 



Isles aux Margos oi' the narrative were, of couree, the Wolves. 



Manthane was Grand Manan. 



ie rivière des Etchemins was the St. Croix. 



L'isle Saincte Croix was the present Dochet Island. 



Fort aux Coquilles of the map was the present Head Harbor. 



Isle gravée of the map was no doubt the present White Head Island. 



Illes imuelles, of the map, applied probably to some of the islands 

 near Letite Passage, though possibly to the Wolves. 



The meanings and further history of these names may be found 

 discussed under their modern equivalents in my " Place-nomenclature." 



The location of the settlement made by DeMonts and Champlain in 

 1G04 will be discussed in the next section. 



III.— THE ACADIAN PERIOD. 



This clearly marked and interesting period of our history began with 

 the settlement of DeAIonts and Champlain at St. Croix Island in 1604^ 

 and closed with the coming of the New England settlers after 17G0. It 

 has been treated fully by Mr. Hannay in his History of Acadia, though 

 not with much attention to it from our present point of view. Striking 

 events in the history of the Forts of La Tour at St. John, of Cumberland 

 and Gaspereau, together with others in Nova Scotia, are sketched by 

 Bourinot in his "Some Old Forts by the Sea," in these Transactions, 

 Vol. I, The many forts built in this period, and the widely scattered 

 settlements, and the interesting and little known seigniorial grants make 

 it rich in historic sites.
