[s. E. DAWhON] THE VOYAGES OF THE CABOTS 267 



5. From the map of 1544. The three small islands on the north and Alezay) Dead- 



man's island) on the west identify it as the Magdalen. The Prince Edward 

 Island names are away on the main land. 



6. From the Vallard map of 1513. This map is Portuguese. The Magdalen is shown 



by Alezay on the west and Bryon on the north. The concavity is reversed, 

 as in No. 3. 



7. From Rotz's Globe, 1543. The author was French and embodied Cartiers dis- 



coveries on his maps. The Magdalen is indicated by its shape, concave in 

 the right'direction, as in the other French map. No. 2, 



8. From ^Hakluyt's map ; the scarce map of 1000. Here the shape marks out the 



Magdalen and Deadman's island (Alezay), and Bryon island further identify 

 it. 

 Various as the above are in shape, it will be seen that their axes are all in the 

 same direction and are at right angles to the direction of the axis of Prince Edward 

 Island, and their positions on their respective maps are the same— that is, in the 

 fairway to the St. Lawrence river. The sequence may be continued by referring to 

 Champlain's map of 1613, (see ante p. 254) where the Island of St. John (Prince 

 Edward Island) begins to separate from the main land. At p. 256 will be found 

 Champlain's map of 1632, where the island appears in its correct shape and posit-ion 

 for the first time.
