** the 22d day of July.” ‘The rest of this voyage is wanting, 
(Pinkerton, vol. XII. p. 677. 8.) 
There are two maps in Charlevoix which throw much light 
upon the Topography of this country ; the smaller of them is 
to be found in his third volume, p. 64, and embraces the 
whele river from ‘Tadousac to some short distance above 
Chicoutimy. There is delineated upon it a land road, between 
two chains of mountains, which leads from Lake St. Charles 
to a point on the Saguenay, as neariy as may be equi-dis- 
tant from ‘Tadousac aud Ha Ha bay. 
He here speaks of the harbour of ‘Tadousac as a good one 
capable of containing a fleet of twenty-five ships of war, 
and says that the country is filled with marble but altogether 
unsusceptible of culture :—in both of which particulars he 
was mistaken. 
His general map (vol. 1. p, 438), is compiled from manu. 
scripts in the Depét of the French marine, and from memoirs 
of the Jesuit priests. 
It is astonishingly minute and accurate, and what would 
at first sight seem to be extraordinary, it would appear from 
it that the interior of the Saguenay country was better known 
at that time than the interior of the country lying between 
Quebec and Montreal. 
The rivers Batiscan, St. Anne, and Jacques Cartier, are 
very inaccurately laid down in this general map ; as is also 
the St. Maurice, 
It is worthy of remark that a water communication is laid 
down in this map from the Ottawa to the St. Lawrence by the 
Maskinongé river. This is probably correct, but there is 
reason to believe that the route is in a higher latitude than 
that given by Charlevoix. 
The public documents to which Charlevoix had access, and 
which served to enable him to give so accurate a map of the 
Saguenay country, were (independently of the memoirs of
