IV. ADDITIONS AND COEKECTIONS TO THE MONOGEAPH 

 ON HISTOEIC SITES. 



215. While the sites of most of the important historic localities in 

 New Brunswick are identified, and to f»ome extent described and mapped 

 in the " Historic Sites " Monograph and in the following supplement 

 ^thereto,^ I ha.ve not by any means exhausted this interesting subject. 

 For the future student there is yet ample opportunity for service in this 

 /field. The localities having been identified, the next siteps/ should be 

 (1) to photograph them and their suifroundings as they now are, and 

 before they are further changed, the photographs being, of course, pre- 

 served by publication, (2) to excavate all places promising remains or re- 

 lics, beneath the surface, giving accurate descriptions of the finds and 

 their mode of occurrence, the relics themselves being deposited in some 

 central museum in the Province and (3) to mark the places by solid but 

 plain stone monuments bearing appropriate inscriptions. I cannot at 

 this moment recall a solitary historic spot within the bounds of all New 

 Brunswick marked by any memorial, a brass plate on the first Parlia- 

 ment building at Fredericton alone excepted. Here is enough for the 

 local antiquarian for a long time to come ! 



219. Places named from the former presence of Indians! (espe- 

 cially " Indian Point") are much more numerous than the present list 

 implies ; for many such names are used locally, but are not on any map. 



222 C, — St. Croix. This Indian village is also mentioned in the Harris Field- 

 book of the Boundary Survey of the St Croix in 1797 (now in posses- 

 sion of W. O. Raymond). Harris mentions the Indian village, Houses 

 and Eel-Works. 



222. There is an Indian Island in the St. Croix below Spragues Falls. 



223. There is an Indian Pond near Baillie in Charlotte. 



223. There are traditions of an Indian structure, an altar or temple formerly 



existing near the Canal at Uake Utopia, given in Scribner's Monthly, 

 Vol. 15, 449; but there is no real evidence of its existence. 



224. At the Falls, St George, was a favourite camping place of the Indians, 



according to a MS. note left by the late Edward Jack. 



224. There is an Indian camp site, known locally, at the Narrows of Letang 

 River. 



224. The location of the Indian village at Madawaska, with other inform- 

 ation about it, is given on the Sproule map of 1787 reproduced later 

 ((Map No. 39) in this Addenda. Also an interesting reference to an
