corning historical matters ; and it shows an unexpectedly wide-spread in- 

 terest in such matters and as widely-spread courtesy. I have also had 

 assistance at many points from Mr. Thos. G. Loggie, of the Crown Land 

 OflSce, from Rev. W. O. Raymond, Mr. James Vroom, Mr. W. C. Milner, 

 Mr. Victor M Paltsits, and from others too many to mention, to all of 

 whom I wish to exj)ress my best thanks. 



In the introduction to this paper I pointed out the necessity for 

 personal investigation of localiiics in such a subject as this. Nearly every 

 site of importance described in this work I have visited and examined. The 

 only important part of New Brunswick I have not visited is Miscou and 

 Shippegan ; and, happily, for that region I have had the assistance of one 

 of the most valued of ni}' correspondents, Rev. J. R. Doucet. There are, 

 of course, many sites of great local interest which are hardly important 

 enough to come within the scope of this paper ; and there is attractive 

 opi^ortunity in many parts of New Brunswick for the construction of 

 archaeological maps much more detailed than those in this work. This 

 is particularly a tield workable by local students, and it is commended 

 to teachers and others in New Brunswick who have opportunity and 

 taste for historical pursuits. 



The sources of all of the maps in this work are acknowledged in the 

 explanations except in the case of the historical maps. Of these, the four 

 large maps of the periods (i.e., Nos. 12, 39, 45 and 46) were all drawn 

 from, and of the size of, Wilkinson's map, and are reduced in engraving to 

 less than one-fourth. Since they were drawn some slight corrections 

 have been found needful, as follows : In No. 45, Township of Newton 

 should read Newtown. The Seigniory assigned to Martignon north of 

 Grand Lake on No. 39, and also on page 309, is doubtless a mistake ; I 

 find the expression " Gouverneur et propriétaire de la Rivière St. Jean 

 depuis la Rivière de Maquo jusqu' aux mines aux dit païs de l'Acadio 

 . . . plus de 50 lieues de front,"' applies not to Martignon, but to 

 La Tour himself, and refers to his great grant of 1656. Hence the 

 " mines " would be at the head of the Bay of Fundy, and the River 

 Maquo would be some river in ^Maine. In No. 46, a part of the lands 

 around St. John should be dotted to show persistent pre-Loyalist grants, 

 whoso extent may bo determined from Mr. Raymond's articles and maps 

 referred to earlier on pago 3.i3. On map No. 46, the number 97 is 

 accidentally duplicated, as explained on page 343. As to the other 

 historical maps, the sources are as follows. Most of the older maps 

 mentioned are fully described in the preceding monograph.
