A llttle higher is the Bay of St. John : a good harbour 
against all winds, . 
Higher up is the Bay du Rude ; a very good harbour. 
Opposite La Trinité is tne Bay a ’Aviron ; a good harbour. 
La descente des femmes ; a good harbour for ships. 
La Grande Pointe ; a good harbour. 
Ha Ha Bay an excellent harbour. 
The foregoing notes upon the harbours of the Saguenay, 
are extracted from the report of Mr. Gauvreau. 
Upon the north eastern shore of the Saguenay, from 
Tadousac, to within one or two leagues of Chicotimy, there 
seems to be but little land susceptible of culture. 
What extent of ground susceptible of culture, there may 
be between the old settlements in the rear of Murray Bay 
and St. Paul’s Bay, upon the St. Lawrence on the one side, 
and Ha Ha Bay, and the Saguenay, and Tadousac, on the 
other is not known, 
Between Chicotimy and the country immediately in its 
rear on the one side, and Ha Ha Bay and the waters which 
empty intoit on the other will be found 300,000 acres of 
cultivable land. 
Proceeding from Chicotimy to Lake St. John by the Chi- 
cotimy River, Lake Tsinogomi, &c., itseems probable that 
the country from Chicotimy to the foot of Lake Tsinogomi, 
on the western side of these waters is not susceptible of cul- 
ture. 
From Lake Tsinogomi to Lake St. John, there is accord- 
ing to the report of the Traders and Indians, a deep tract of 
level and fertile country, extending to the westward and 
southward, 
Nothing, however, is known with certainty upon this point, 
as the Surveyor charged with exploring this portion of the 
country, was prevented by accidental circumstances from do- 
ing so. 
From Chicotimy to Lake St. John, the distance by ad- 
measurement is 67 miles, 68 chains.
