Quebec^ The Little Riviere du Ch^ne, which 

 crosses it diagonallj, and falls into the St. 

 Lawrence, a little below Cap a la Roche, is 

 the only stream that waters this tract. It is 

 not navigable at any season for any thing 

 larger than a canoe. About half a mile above 

 the discharge of this river there is a good grist- 

 mill : the augmentation has scarcely any means 

 of irrigation. A little distance upwards from 

 Cap a la Roche a very neat church is seated 

 On the bank of the St. LawTence, which, along 

 the whole front, is a good deal elevated. The 

 houses of the tenantry, about one hundred and 

 twenty in all, are dispersed among the conces- 

 sions, by the side of the main road that passes 

 close to the river* They are mostly built of 

 wood, and have a very neat appearance. 



St. Etienne (the seigniory of), in the 

 county of Dorchester, is situated in the rear

 mensions are three leagues by two, granted on 

 the 7th October, 1737, to Franpois Etienne 

 Cugnet. 



JoLLiET (the seigniory of) is also in the 

 rear of Lauzon, separated from St. Etienne 

 by the Chaudiere, and bounded on its other 

 sides by the towni^hips of Erarapton and
