Cartography. 



me, for a sun^ey extending to opposite Oromocto Lake (but not to its. 

 source) is shown on the Sproule Map |of 1786. This purvey 'comtinuied 

 the original down to 1798 when the very detailed surveys of the river, 

 the originals of all of our present maps, were made under the authority 

 of the Boundary Commission. 



As to the 1785 map of the Scoodic (St Croix), it appears there 

 were two of them made. Thus a letter written byl Governor Carleton 

 (in his letter-book at Fredericton), reads (July 15, 1785), "Having 

 (employed two persons of skill and experience to make separate survey^ 

 of the River Scoodic, the first of which was performed in winter upon 

 the ice and the second after the opening of the river." ( Compare also 

 the Eeport on Archives, 1895, N. B., 4). The latter map is without 

 doubt the one ii^ the Public Record Office, mentioned at the foot of 

 page 417 of the Cartognaphy. It was that followed by Sproule in his 

 map of 1786, and very likely it was made by Sproule himself. The 

 fermer is unknown to me, Init as a note in the boundary MS. speaks of 

 a survey of the Scoodic made by John Jones for the British Govern- 

 ment, I assume this is the map and surveyor referred to. 



398. The map by Wright is given in my Dochet (St. Croix) 

 Island Monograph. 



402. In 1845-1846 the Rivers Madawaska and St. John werte sur- 

 veyed by Quebec, and alsjo by New Brunswick, (Blue-Book on the 

 Quebec-New Brunswick boundary, 21, 62). There were thus four sets 

 of surveys, and all of much accuracy, made of the upper St. John within 

 a few years of each other. They were, (1) those of the Graham Com- 

 mission, (2) those of the Quebec Government, (3) those of the New 

 Brunswick Government, and (4) those of the International Commis- 

 sion, on all of which there is further information in the Monograph on 

 Boundaries,' and the maps resulting from which are mostly in the list 

 following. The present New Brunswick maps of the upper St. John 

 appear to rest upon the New Brunswick surveys, which were made ini 

 great detail by Andrew Inches, and of which there is a good set in the 

 Crown Land Office. These are the maps erroneously stated in my 

 Monogi^aph on Boundaries, 347, to be a set of the maps of the Inter- 

 national commission. 



408. Classified List of Maps. Since the publication of the Mono- 

 graph I havei gathered a great number of additions to this list, of all 

 grades of importance, but I shall here note only those of marked 

 historical value.
