west by Islet du Portage and the unsurveyed 

 lands of Bungay, on the north-east by the seig- 

 niory of Riviere du Loup, and in the rear by 

 Bungay and waste lands; two leagues in 

 breadth by three in depth; granted June 2d, 

 1696, to Sieurs de Granville and Lachenaye. 

 In these three seigniories there are some very 

 fertile patches of land, but as the north-easterly 

 chain of mountains draws closer upon the river, 

 a great part of them is very mountainous ; a 

 small portion of each has been cultivated, but 

 none of it is at present in a very flourishing 

 condition. The best farms, however, in each 

 grant, are found near the main road that passes 

 close to the river. Timber is sufficiently plen- 

 tiful, and some of it of the best kinds. They 

 are but sparingly watered by a few small 

 streams that descend into the St. Lawrence. 

 In Granville there is a grist-mill. Islet has a 

 church dedicated to St. Andrew ; but Gran- 

 ville and Lachenaye possesses nothing at all 

 worth notice : there are indeed ranges of con- 

 cessions marked out, and bearing the names of 

 St. Andre, Bouchetteville, Marie Louise Ade- 

 laide, Ste. Rachel, and St. Theodore ; of these 

 St. Andre only is in a good condition ; in the 

 others the ground has scarcely been broken. 

 A grist-mill is seated on the Riviere des Caps,
