names have a Latin form, and several are new, as 7. 2J6rdi('û (Partridge T.)- 

 Nepegequitius pagus, (land of Nepisiguit), and pipechiguiatius, (probably 

 Belledune Point). The name Pr. Fodinarû (Cape of Mines) is interesting 

 from its suggestion of Fundy. But this map of Creuxius seems not to 

 have influenced any others. Closely following Charaplain is the map of 

 Van Loon of 1661, and the Tabula Novje Franciœ of 1663. 



In " The English Pilot " of 1702 occurs a map of considerable impor-

 water passage to the St. Lawrence it shows a connection with Dudley's-

 Coquilles of Champlain ?) Ascrion, Belle, Labor or Oyster B, JVaporo 

 (perhaps the Napraux of Franquelin of 1(586). On the North Shore- 

 appear the new names Sauveur, Platta, Randlngo, Bursel/e, Ligene, Bas- 

 tues (compare bestus of Homem, probably only a coincidence). These names- 

 are ncAV, while older ones are mispelled. Caraqui is, no doubt, Caraquet^ 

 and occurs on Denys, 1672, and Sauveur suggests Denys' Saumon. I 

 think there must have been some other m!i)i which is now lost, from which 

 these names are taken, for it can hardly be supposed that so elaborate
