Cartography. 



333. There is a very remarkable resemblance between a part of 

 th( Gastaldi 1556 map (from Angoulesme to C. Breton), and a part of 

 LaCosa, including the interior canals, which are the same in both. 

 This Giastaldi map appears to be a compound of a part of the La Cosa 

 with a part of Mercator, and an addition of some names from Cartier. 



332. The Santa Cruz map given by Nordenskjold in his " Peri- 

 plus " L, is impori:ant, and appears to have influenced later maps. 



338. TJie map Fig. 8 is by a curious error attributed to Harley, 

 who was simply its modem owner; its author was in all probability 

 iJeseeliers. On him and his work there is an important paper by 

 Harrisse " Dieppe World Maps," in " Gottingsche gelehte Anzeigen/' 

 1899. 



348. Miscou was not mentioned by Champlain in the work cited. 

 Compare under Miscou in the dictionary preceding. 



349. Although the earliest published map of Acadia by Cham- 

 plain himself bears the date 1612, the intiuence of his work appears in 

 several of earlier date, including those of Lescarbot, and the James I 

 map of 1610 in Brown's "Genesis of the United States." Of course 

 he made maps of earlier date, as he himself tells us in his narrative of 

 1608, where he says he gave to DeMonts the map and plan of the most 

 remarkable coasts and harbours there. A ^IS. map of his, apparentiy 

 of 1607, is in possession of Harrisse in Paris. 



352. The 1632 map is closely followed by that of Boisseau, 1643, 

 in Vol. XXIII of the Jesuit Relations. 



Another map belonging to this period is that of DuPont, given by 

 Dawson in these transactions, III, ii, 179. 



360, Possibly the map on this page may be connected with the 

 Simon François Daumont, Sieur de Lusson, who, about Sept. 1671, 

 was ordered to make explorations in Acadia, and who returned to 

 France in November of that j-ear. (Jesuit Eelations, LV, 320). 



A map of 1701 of Acadia by De Chavagnac is mentioned in 

 Canadian Archives, 1899, Supplementary A^ol., 350. 



The map by Aubrey, with docimients, is still in existence in the 

 Paris Archives, (Jesuit Eelations, LXVI, 344) a 



I have had the Jumeau map on this page compared Arith 

 the original in Paris. As a result the Ottawa copy is shown to have the 

 following mistakes; as the words are readily recognizable I give only 

 the correct form — memchigan, pakmoucli, tracadi, Pkichemagan, clii- 

 houctouch, liar an. 



364. On the Indian traditions about the Eiver St. Croix, see the 

 full account in St. Valier's " Estât present de l'Eglise " of 1688, 14.
