4 THE PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY OF LABRADOR. 



a special map of Eclipse Harbor surveyed by Lieut.- 

 Commanding A. Murray, United States Navy, and 

 drawn to a scale of ~^, with the soundings indicated. 



About the year 1873 (the date is not given on the 

 copy of the map we have received) appeared a map of 

 that portion of the coast embracing the sites of the 

 principal Moravian stations and lying between N. lat. 

 55° and 59°. It was prepared by L. T. Reichel from 

 the sketches made by himself, and published in the lack 

 of any authentic maps of the coast. For a copy of this 

 and the map of Aivekt6k or Eskimo Bay we are in- 

 debted to the officers of the Society in Herrnhut, Sax- 

 ony. On this map are given the route of the ship-chan- 

 nel from the southward to Hopedale, and thence to the 

 different Moravian stations up to Hebron ; also the 

 overland sledge-routes between Port Manvers and Ok- 

 kak, and the latter station and Hebron. There is also 

 an attempt to give in a general way the elevation of the 

 coast, and the elevation of Kaumajet Mt. and Mt. Kig- 

 lapeit is given as 4,000 feet. Scales of German and of 

 English miles are also given. 



The second special map was also prepared by Rev. L. 

 T. Reichel, and published in 1873. It gives what is 

 probably by far the most authentic map of Hamilton In- 

 let and Aivektdk, or Eskimo Bay, and the coast north- 

 ward, the whole area mapped being comprised between 

 latitudes 53° 20' and 56° 20' ; it is of special value in 

 giving a capital idea of the intricate fiord structure of 

 the coast, and also a census of the white and Eskimo 

 residents. 



We have also been favored by B. Latrobe, Esq., Sec- 

 retary of the Moravian Missions in London, with the
