Historic Sites. 



Indian fort at Madawaska given by Cadillac in 1693 is in Raymond's 

 " St John River, " 110. 



There is near Edmundston an Isle des Sauvages, according to M. 

 Mercure, and there are two others called Savage Islands just below 

 the St Francis, marked on the best maps, showing some former resi- 

 dence there or other connection with the Indians. 



225. Becaguimec. It is said locally there was an Indian camp site of some 

 importance at the mouth of this river, on the site of Hartland, where 

 there was a good salmon fishery. 



227. L. Ekpahak is used earlier than 1733; see Aucpac in Place- Nomenclature 

 of this Addenda. 



227. L. Oromocto. The Indian Burial-ground here is also mentioned by Gesner 



in his Fourth Geological Report, (page 26) and is well-known locally. 

 On the shore of French lake, (around which many Indian relics 

 are said to have been found) in a position shown on a later map 

 (Map No. 18) is a stone cut by curious marks, locally reputed to be 

 Indian carvings. This has been fully described and pictured in the 

 Bulletin of the Natural History Society of New Brunswick, No. XXII, 

 175, where also the reputed Indian carving from higher up the river 

 (mentioned on page 228) is shown to be unauthentic. There is an 

 Indian Point in Oromocto Lake (North West Branch), explained in 

 Bulletin of Nat. Hist. Soc. N. B. Vol V, 193. 



228. N. Indian Point. The principal sites in this vicinity are approximately 



located on the sketch map (Map No. 19) given later under the 

 Acadian Period. 



228. Maquapit, French and Indian Lakes. These Lakes were, because of 

 their abundant game supply (waterfowl^ muskrats, fish,) favourite 

 resorts of the Indians, and their camping grounds have been studied, 

 and numerous relics collected therefrom, by Mr. Duncan London, of 

 Lakeville Corner, Sunbury County, who has been so kind as to send 

 me a sketch map of the region, (given later, Map No. 19) and some 

 information as to the sites. He tells me there were two Indian Camp- 

 ing grounds at the upper end of French Lake one on French Island, 

 and the other on the present Sand (on an old plan called Indian) 

 Point, and a very extensive one at the lower end, with another on 

 Apple Island, at the places marked on the map. There are also others 

 known to him on Maquapit lake (marked by burnt stones, flint chips, 

 letc, and other relics he has collected), including Londonsand Simons 

 Points; others occurred on Rings Island; and on the point near the 

 latter, Mr. London found the aboriginal pot described by Matthew 

 and Kain in Bulletin of the Natural History Society of N. B., XXIII, 

 345. There were also two of importance at the outlet of the lake. 

 The upper part of the lake called on the maps French Lake is locally 

 called Indian Lake, of course indicating the former presence of Indians 

 there.
