Historic Si(€s. 



262. St. Croix Island. This very important locality has been fully treated 

 in the Monograph entitled " Dochet (St Croix) Island, — A Monograph " 

 in these Transactions, VIII, 1902, ii, 127. Some addenda et cor- 

 rigenda should here be recorded. The page references following relate 

 to the special Monograph. 



(128) This map, owing to misinterpreted local information, places 

 Johnsons Cove too far north; it really belongs to the cove next 

 south of it, while the one here called by that name seems to have 

 no local name (129). I find on a subsequent visit that my map is 

 not exact in outline of the reefs, though there is only one material 

 error; I have made them broad just ^outh of Wrights Nubble, 

 whereas they are there somewhat constricted, expanding again east 

 of the constriction, to form the part on which the Cannon Nubble ol 

 Champlain's time stood. 



(142). At the Ter-centenary Celebration at the Island on June 

 24, 1904, a resolution was proposed and adopted to call the Island 

 henceforth by its original and historic name, St Croix Island. Cer- 

 tainly this is most desirable, and I for one, will do what I can to 

 aid it. But whether local usage can be changed is, I think, some- 

 what doubtful; those who celebrate the four hundredth anniversary 

 will be able to tell! 



(152) To the less important literature here cited may be added 

 the account of the settlement in the " Stories of New France, " by 

 Miss A. M. Machar, though the author apparently supposed that Navy 

 Island near St Andrews was St Croix Island. Also I have seen 

 another poem, inspired by the story of the island, published some 

 years ago in a newspaper (identity and date not known to me) and 

 signed C. H. A. which is really excellent. Literature of another kind 

 was called into existence by the celebration of the Ter-Centenary of 

 the Island's Discovery on June 25, 1904. A full account of the Cele- 

 bration is given in the St. Croix Courier for June 30, and an official 

 account, with the various addresses and appropriate illustrations, was 

 published in July 1905 by the Maine Historical Society, (Ter-Centenary 

 of De Monts' Settlement at St. Croix Island, June 25, 1904. Portland, 

 Maine Historical Society, 1905, 78 pp). There is also valuable matter 

 in Acfidirnsis for July 1904 (special Champlain number) for Oct. 1904, 

 and in a little Souvenir Programme issued at the time, at St. Stephen. 



(154) As pointed out in a review of this work in the " Review of 

 Historical Publications relating to Canada " for 1904, page 19, the 

 boat in which the party explored the Bay of Fundy and discovered 

 the Island should be called in English a " long-boat " and not a 

 barque. It is shown, without doubt, in the picture on the map on 

 page 157. 



(168) On the site of these gardens, especially on the Canadian 

 shore, see under page 266 later. 



(169) The negro mentioned in the footnote is said locally to have 

 been a smallpox victim, hence his burial here. 



(173) The "seventeenth" of March should read the seventh. 



(174) Lescarbot was in Acadia only one year, — 1606-1607, not two.
