mark the fort on the North side of the Shediac River near its mouth, 

 but nothing is known locally of such a site. 



From the head of the tide on the Shediac River through to Petit- 

 codiac there was a " chemin," or road, five leagues long, which he 

 describes as extremely bad. This was no doubt cut by the French 

 for a horse and waggon road, in order to keep open a communication 

 between Quebec and the posts on the Petitcodiac. A Memoir of 1749 

 by Father Germain, however, speaks of this road as very good. 



The site of the first modern French settlement at Shediac is 

 shown, as near the present Shediac Cape, on Des Barres map of 1781

 told by a resident, about a mile above the present bridge on the north 

 side. It was no doubt at the place marked upon the accompanying 

 map (Map No. 28 from one in the Crown Land Office, apparently a 

 tracing from DesBarres Chart of 1781) " Cleared Land and Orchards; " 

 ■while the sites of several houses are also shown. 



On this same map two other settlements are marked. One, (on 

 the portion in the upper left hand corner, of the map) was just 

 north of the present Dixon Point. The other was in the present 

 Robin Creek, and marked with the name, Mons. d'Yierville, of which 

 I know nothing further.
