 grist-mills and one saw-mill. A part of the 

 seigniory is divided into four small fiefs, that 

 are the property of Messrs. Delette, Beaubien, 

 Gautier and Mondelette, containing together 

 one-fourth of a league broad by half a league 

 deep. Two islands in the St. Laurence, lying 

 in front of this grant, are appendages to it ; 

 each of them is nearly three quarters of a mile 

 long, and from eight to ten arpens broad ; cat-

GuiLLAUDiERE (fief) is in the county of 

 Surrey, adjoining Cap St. Michel, and contains 

 thirty arpens in front by a league in depth ; was 

 granted 3d November, l672, to Sieur de Grand-

Esq. 



St. Blain (fief), between Guillaudiere and 

 the seigniory of Vercheres, is twenty-three arpens 

 broad by two leagues deep ; was granted 29th 

 October, 1672, to Sieur de Vercheres, now the 

 property of Madame de Boucherville. There 

 is a strong affinity between the soils of these
