appear upon it. There is, perha]».s, some other earlier printed map I have 

 not met with which bears these names. Some of them, together with the 

 ^M Bellin type of the interior, appear also on Capt. Carver's map of Quebec 

 of 1776, also printed by Sayer. This type for the North Shore and interior 

 -•are followed also on Sayer and Bennett's map of 1776 (Fig. 36), but in the 

 Passamaquoddy region there is a great improvement, which is derived 

 from Pownall's map, and that in turn was derived from the survey of 

 John Mitchel of 1764, presently to be spoken of. We lind, also, in this 

 map the name Spey, from Green, transferred to the Madawaska. We 

 may continvie to trace the fate of the old Bellin type of interior 

 topoo-raphy. It persists upon a number of maps until the close of the 

 century, when we tind a struggle taking place between it and the newer 

 and more correct ideas which were arising. Thus, in Solzmann's map of 

 Maine, 17'J7, the Ourangahena is made identical with Timisquata, and the 

 Spey, or river from Lake Medarosta, is identified with the present Green 

 river but there is no improvement in the other rivers. In the Laurie 

 and Whittle map of 1794 (Fig. 40) an ingenious solution of the diffi- 

 •culty is found by identifying the old Lac Medaooasca with the chain 

 emptyino- Lake Temiscouata by the Touladi. but theNepisiguit and Mira- 

 michi still head with it. Finally, the maps of the United States, by 

 Lapie, in 1806, and b}' Tardieu, in 1808. both revert back to the older type, 

 but with them it disappears, for in Ihc meantime far better maps were 

 prepared, even if not published. 



Of more special maps belonging to this period there are several 

 worthy of mention. Morris, of 1749, belongs more properl}- to the next 

 period, and will be considered there. Montresor's, of 1768, is of some value 

 for the villages at the head of the Bay of Fundy, though of little account 

 olsewhere. The important events of 1750 to 1755 in the region about the 

 head of the Bay of Fundy natuî-ally pi'oduced several maps, such as 

 Franquet's of the Missaguash, that in the '■ Mémoires sur le Canada;" 

 Jelïerys's Plan of 1755. the map in xMantc's ■ Late War," and another by 

 Capt. Lewis showing a surve}' of the Bay Verte road, and the French 

 map of 1779, all of great local interest. During the same ])eriod many 

 Acadian maps appeared in the pages of "The London Magazine" and 

 ^' The Gentlemen's Magazine" of London, made up from ditfe rent sources. 

 In addition to these there is a perfect host of maps, many of them brought 

 out by the attention devoted to the troublous times in America from 

 1764 to 1783. They are mostly but copies one from another, and 

 it is only occasionally, as in Pownall's and Kvans's map that anything 

 new appears upon them, and one may say that the Sayer and Bennett 

 map of 177(5 (Fig. 36) represents their ver^- best development, and it 

 may be considered as the closing map of this period, though in the 

 Passamaquodd}^ region it belongs to the ne.\t. The good maps which 

 appeared after it belonged more or less to the next period. It is not
