We conic now to the )uaps of Delisle. In 1700 he 

 published one of small scale, but mostly of the old type, 

 with no interior topograpliy, and the Eestigouche and 

 Nepisiguit marked, but transposed. Passing noAv to 

 the type-map of Delisle (Fig. 24) we note that the 

 Bay of Fundy is poor, for there had been no new 

 survey since Champlain, and copies grow worse, not 

 better. But in 1711 and 1712 a survey of the baj^ 

 was made by Nat. Blackmore, the New Bruns- 

 wick portion of whose chart is given herewith. 

 (Fig. 27.) The portion west of Pt. Little Pro 

 is so erroneous that it must be supj)osed the 

 surveyor passed directly from Grand Manan to 

 Point Lepreau ; the remainder of the coast to C. 

 Race (Enrage) is laid down better than in any 

 preceding map, and E, of Lepreau it establishes 

 a new tjqje for the Bay of Fundy region, 

 which is hardly superseded until the excellent 

 surveys of Wright and DesBarres, sixty 

 years later. The Passamaquoddy region 

 was improved somewhat in later charts 

 notabh' those of Southack (Fig. 28), and 

 probably by him, and this improved Black- 

 more-Southack is the type of the Bay of 

 Fundy in the English maps of the next 

 pei'iod. This map of Delisle is followed 

 by De Per, 1705; John Senex. 1710, and 



'S. 



In 1715 appeared the remarkable 



of '^toll (Fig. 29), Avhich is con- 



uous for its attempt to combine 



to])ography of several earlier 



nted maps, and shows but little 



ference to Delisle. The entire 



orth Shore shows no sign of De- 



sle, Franquelin or Jume. u, but 



goes back to a much earlier and 



still unknoAvn type, of which 



1 have already spoken (See 



Fig. 20), as witness the old 



names, Sauceur, Plata, Ean- 



flitif/o, Biirselle. Ligene. The 



Hay of Funily is taken fron\
