/ Cartography, 



365. Several references to explorations in Acadia which may have 

 a bearing upon the cartography of the country are given in the Cana- 

 dian Archives, Supplementary A'^oL, 1899. Thus in 1688 a St. Pasquine, 

 an engineer went to Acadia (page 283), and in 1698 one Sr^ 

 L'Hermite exploTed Acadia (330). There are other references on 

 pages 285, 300, 302, 352. It is very probable that the map dated 

 1708 by J^'ranquelin was really made about 1690, for in 1689 a royal 

 order was given the authorities in Canada to give every possible facility 

 to Franqiielin in making a survey of the northern parts of America. 

 (285; also Quebec Docs. II, 451).' 



367. On the identity of the places shown on the map of Southack 

 consult the Monograph on Boundaries, 268. 



373. In Prowse's Newfoimdland, 279, is a map dated 1720 

 giving some of the names which I supposed were used for the first time 

 by Bellin in 1714:. Either I am mistaken in this, or the date of the 

 Prowse map is an error. 



374. An interesting, but fallacious attempt to explain the carry- 

 ing of the Nepisiguit and Eestigouche so far north was made in a 

 report by the EenAvick Boundary Commission. (Eichardson's j\Iiessages 

 of the Presidents, IV, 149). 



377. The north shore opposite Prince Edward Island remained 

 unexplored and unsurveyed longer than any other part of the New 

 Brunswick coast. Thus Little, in his work of 1748, saysi — " the Bay 

 of Vert, in which, and all the Eastern side of the Province, as far as 

 the mouth of Canada Eiver, lie a grea;t variety of fine rivers and har- 

 bours, very little known to us, as no person has ever been employed by 

 the Government to attempt a particular discovery of them." 



378. The Mitchell map of 1755 here given is the first edition, not 

 the one used by the Commissioners of 1783. On this map consult the 

 Monograph on Boundaries, 302, and see the photographic copy later in 

 the present paper under Boundaries. 



381. The Sayer and Bennet map was made by Holland, Sur\^eyor 

 General of Quebec. 



382. In addition to the map of the Chignecto region here men- 

 tioned, several others exis't as noted in the List of Maps following. 



386. John Mitchell's Field book, with a copy of his map (in part), 

 have Ijcen published by the N.B. Historical Society in their Collections, 

 J I, 175. 



390. I have been able to determine the authorship of this im- 

 portant map. In the Library of Congress there are two copies of 

 it, — one almost identical with the copy here printed, entitled, "Sketch
