documents, and I have quoted this exactly just as printed, whether in 

 English or French, All of those in English are either from Murdoch or 

 from the Legislative document of 1852. All are shown on the accom-

1. The Passamaquoddy District. 



The Seigniories of this region have been described and discussed in 

 the " Courier Series," and in the pamphlet abstract of this, printed but 

 not yet published. 



At Indian Island one LaTreille lived at the time of Church's expedi- 

 tion of 1704, but no grant to him is known. The Hutchinson papers of 

 1688 (Collections Mass. Hist. Soc, 3rd ser., I., 82) mention a grant to one 

 Zorzy [De Sorcis] at St. Croix, but nothing further is known of it. 

 1632 — Saincte Croix. To M. le Commandeur de Razilly, Lieutenant General pour 

 le Roi en la Nouvelle France. (19th of May, from La Compagnie de la Nouvelle 

 France. ) 



"L'étendue des terres & pays que ensuivent, à sçavoir la rivière & 

 baie Saincte-Croix, isles y contenues, & terres adjacentes d'une part & d'autre 

 en la Nouvelle France, de l'étendue de douze lieues de larges, à prendre le 

 point milieu en l'isle Saincte-Croix, ou le Sieur de Mons a hiverné, & vingt 

 lieues de profondeur depuis le port aux coquilles, qui est en l'une des isles 

 de l'entrée de la rivière & baie Saincte-Croix, chaque lieues de quatre mille 

 toises de long." (Mem. 707.) 



The Hmits of this grant are plain (see map No. 39). 

 Port aux Coquilles is known to be Head Harbor, Campobello. 

 1684 — Passamaquoddy. To Jean Sarreau de St. Aubin. (On June 23th.) 



" Five leagues in front, on the sea shore, and five leagues in depth inland at 

 a place called Pascomady, and its environs, with the isles and islets in front of 

 that extent, also an islet of rocks about six leagues off for seal fishery, also- 

 the island called Archimagan, and the islets for two leagues round it." 

 (Murdoch, I., 163.) 



The description is not full enough to locate this seigniory exactly. It is 

 possible that it included Campobello, and the ruined building shown on 

 Windmill Point in DesBarres' picture of Campobello of 1777 may represent 

 his dwelling, which, like those of other seigniors of the time, was probably 

 a " Habitation," i. e., a dwelling surrounded by a stockade. It is much more 

 probable, however, that the "Fort" mentioned at Pleasant Point (see 

 earlier. Settlements) by Morris was the remains of St. Aubin' s Habitation. 

 If, however, the Gourdon mentioned by Church was found on the site of St. 

 Andrews in 1704 and was really St. Aubin, it would perhaps show that his 

 dwelling was there, which would be supported by the fact that Chartier's 

 grant, including without doubt the falls at St. Stephen, is described as bor- 

 dering upon St. Aubin's grant. Archimagan was an island near what is now 

 Edgemoragan Reach, at the mouth of the Penobscot, and St. Aubin's sons 

 resided there. 

 1691 — Magaguadavic. To Jean Meusnier, habitant de I'Acadie. (July 16th.) 

 " Two leagues in front by two leagues in depth, on the small river which 

 the Indians call Maricadéoûy, to wit : one league in front on each side of the
