report of Robert Morse in Canadian Archives, 1884, XXVII., 1881, 30. 

 Another is in the Crown Land Office, Westmorland Book, I., 40, and it is 

 partially upon this that Map No. 44 is based. ^ 

 B. — Fort Gaspereaii. The site of this fort is likewise perfectly known, for the 

 British, after taking and renaming it Fort Monckton in 1755, altered it only 

 in details, and its ruins are plain to-day. Franquet made a most detailed 

 plan of it, of which an outline is given herewith [map No. 29]. In August,

1897, I made an examination and plan of the present condition of it, which 

 is given herewith [map No. 30]. It shows the considerable changes which 

 have occurred in the coast line since 1752, and points to the time when the 

 ruins of this fort will be entirely washed away. A full account of the fort. 

 was given by E. T. P. Shewen about 1892 in a ten-page pamphlet entitled 

 "Notes of Fort Monckton." There is also a plan in the British Museum 

 differing somewhat from Franquet's. 

 C. — The Post at Pont àBuot. The location of this post is made certain by the 

 fine map of Franquet [map No. 27] ; and he also gives a full description of 

 it in his report. Not the slightest trace of this post now remains, but the 

 measurements so accurately given enable one to find the approximate site. 



^ The coinj)ass on 'May No. 28 allows that the Porte was uot where the present main entrance is, 

 but faced the road whicli led along the ridge.
