Saguenay country @&e. 61 
The climate at Chicoutimi, aud lower down the Saguenay 
seems to be very mueh like that at Quebec, whilst it would 
ppear that the climate of the country about Lake St. John, 
is as mild as that of Montreal, perhaps milder, 
The survey made by the Commissioners was but a partial 
one, the funds at their disposal not admitting of any other. 
To complete our kiowledge of this Territory, it would be 
requisite 
~ Ist. To explore in every direction the country lying in the 
tear of Murray Bay and St. Paul’s Bay upon the St. Law- 
rence on the one side, and Ha Ha Bay and the Saguenay on 
the other. 
2d. To explore the country lying between Chicotimy and 
Lake St. John upon the western side of the River Chicotimy, 
Lake Tsinogomi, &c. 
_ 3d. To explore the old route from Charlesbourg to the Sa- 
guenay, striking the Saguenay half way between ‘T'adousae 
and Chicotimy, as laid down by Charlevoix. (doublful) 
4th. To explore the country most likely to afford a 
direct commuuication by land from Quebec to the old esta- 
blishment of the Jesuits upon Lake St. John, a distance of 
about 100 miles ; through which country the Jesuits are said 
to have been in the habit of causing cattle to be driven from 
Charlesbourg. 
Much as thus still remains to do, it is nevertheless true 
that enough has been done to establish, that there is a vast 
extent of Territory about Lake St. John, the Saguenay, 
and their tributary waters which it is desirable should be set- 
ted,
