others. The only new names which it has in New Brunswick are Cara- 

 quet and Cocanne (Cocagne). The map is of considerable local interest, 

 but, with the exception mentioned in speaking of the English Pilot map, 

 it appears to have produced no effect upon any others. 



From early in this century, missionaries of the Recollect and Jesuit 

 orders were working in this region, and many traders were visiting it. 

 The effects of these visits are seen in a beautiful " Carte de l'Amérique 

 septentrionale et partie de la méridionale," of about 1682, called by Mar-

 the map by Coronelli, of 1681», which show several new names. All of those, 

 however, except Fort La Tour, are contained upon a MS. map (Fig. 23), 

 which, since it is more correct than Coronelli, is probably of earlier date. 

 Havre a L'etang, Pointe Ouyconwumet (Kscuminac), Arimosquit (identity 

 unknown), and Epegediac (ShedUir), are new and doubtless come from 

 missionary sources. Le Caraquet suggests Denys, as does the separation 

 ofi?. ,SV. C/"o/.r and R. des Etechemins, There is, however, no improve- 

 ment in the interior. No advance in published "maps was made over 

 Coronelli until the new tj'^pe of Delisle, of 1703, but in the interval were 

 the most important maps by DeMeulles, Jumeau, and other missionaries» 

 the consideration of which, however, belongs to the next period, even 

 though chronologically they belong to this.
