time, it thus really becomes a sub-type. On D'Anville, the head of the 

 Bay of Fundy is now laid clown with some accuracy, and probably from 

 plans sent home by Franquet. who in 1754 made a most careful survey 

 of this region, of which the account is preserved, accompanied by a 

 detailed map of the Missaguash, though no general map of his of that 

 region is known to me '. The Ba}^ of Fundy is very like Bellin until 

 Passamaquoddy is reached, which is much better than on Bellin, and 

 seems to me to have been made up from the two maps of Champlain.'^ 

 The Pas-camadi seems to be a branch of theCobscook,and it is of interest 

 to note that running off from it to the north is a stream ending in a 

 lake near the St. Croix, precisely as Denj-s Eiver and Meddybemps Lake 

 do lie. Possiblj^ for this there is some missionary map unknown to us. 

 It is in the interior that this map is most like Bellin, and the differences 

 are slight. The Madawaska River is here called Grande R. S. François ; 

 it had been called S. François by St. Valier when he descended it before 

 1688. Narantsouak (Nashwack) is added, and Vieux Fort, which is 

 known to have stood at the mouth of the Nerepis. The double lake below 

 Medoctec is here intensified. 



The year 1755 was prohfic in good maps, for, in addition to smaller 

 ones by Huske, Bellin (smaller) and others, which present to us nothing 

 new, there are very important ones by Bellin himself, by Green and by 

 Mitchell. Benin's larger 1755 map in its upper part does not differ from 

 that of 1744, but on the St. John, Ste. Anne (at Fredericton), Ramatou 

 (Oromocto) and Fort la I'oiir are added, while there is much improve- 

 ment at the head of the bay, though this part is not so well given as by 

 D'Anville ; and he adds a Porta</e a beau Soleil between what is clearly 

 the Petitcodiac and Salmon Eiver, though it should be to the Washade- 

 raoak, which is here omitted.-' John Mitchell* was an American of much 

 learning, and his map (Fig. 34) is very famous in connection with the 

 bovindary controversies, for it was the one used in their deliberations by 

 the negotiators of the Treaty of Paris in 1783. It is based almost entirely 

 upon Bellin of 1744. The entire north shore follows that original very 

 closely, there l)eing upon it but a single name. Minage, not on Bellin, and 

 that was obtained possibly from D'Anville. The head of the Bay of 

 Fundy seems to be taken from Morris of 1749 ; the remainder of the bay 

 is from Bellin, except the Passamaquoddy region, which is plainly taken
