rkrononsy and the Andafiogueronons y liv'd upon the 

 Confines of this Lake, but they were extirpated by 

 the Iroquefe 9 as well as the other Nations mark'd ia 

 the Map. 



Upon the North fide of the Lake we defcry a 

 point of Land, that fhoots fifteen Leagues into the 

 Main ; and about thirty Leagues beyond that to 

 the Eaflward, we meet with a frnall River that takes 

 its rife near the Bay of Ganaraske, in the Lake of 

 Frontenac^ and would afford a fiiort paffage from the 

 one Lake to the other, if 'twere not incumbered 

 with Catara&s. From thence to the Streight or 

 Mouth of the Lake, you have thirty Leagues j the 

 Streight being a League over, and fourteen Leagues 

 long. Upon this Streight you fee Fort Suppofe mark'd 

 in the Map, which is one of the Forts that I men- 

 tioned in my 2%d Letter. From that imaginary 

 Fort to the River of Conde, we have twenty Leagues. 



The River of Conde runs fixty Leagues in length, 

 without Cataradis, if we may credit the Savages, 

 who affur'd me, that one may go from its fource 

 to another River that falls into the Sea, without any 

 other Land-carriage than one of a League in length, 

 between the River and the other. I faw only the 

 Mouth of the firft River, where our Outaouas tried 

 ?(heir Limbs, as I told you in my fifteenth Letter. 

 tThe Iflands that you fee mark'd in the Map at the 

 bottom of the Lake Errie y are replenifh'd with Roe- 

 Bucks, and with Fruit-Trees, which nature has ge- 

 neroufly provided, in order to entertain the Tur- 

 keys, Feafants and Deer wi ll their Fruit, In fine, 

 if there were a clear and free paffage for Vef- 

 fels, from Quebec to this Lake, it might be made the 

 feneft, the richefly and the moft fertile Kingdom in 

 the World : For over and above all the beauties I 

 have mentioned, there are excellent Silver Mines a- 

 bout twenty Leagues up the Country , upon a 

 certain Hill , from whence the Savages brought
