plified form of Walkemik (pronounced Wal-kem-ik'), which may 
be applied both to the branch and to its group of lakes. The 
Franquelin-DeMeulles representation is followed, though not 
accurately, by Beilin of 1744 (Map, B), and other French maps, 
but the first modern map to show it is Baillie’s of 1832 (Map, C), 
which lays it down, of course from reports, as an insignificant 
branch. The mouth of the branch is located, without name, on 
Berton’s MSS. plan of the Little Southwest of 1838, but it makes 
no other appearance until 1884, all of the published as well as 
MSS. maps made in the meantime being an absolute blank in this 
region, although the name Upper North Branch is applied by 
Wilkinson, 1859, to the present North Pole Branch. In 1884 
the very first survey in any part of the basin was made ; in that 
year R. H. Lyle ran timber lines (noted on the accompanying 
large map) which crossed its waters in several places and inter- 
sected Mitchell Lake, which he sketched and named. His plan 
(the original is in the Crown Land Office) was followed by 
Loggie in 1885 (Map, D), and by the later Geological Survey 
map of 1887 (Map, E), which latter also adds a few fanciful and 
erroneous hachures. No further advance was made until 1896, 
when W. B. Hoyt ran timber lines, as noted on the large map, 
locating and sketching Dunn (or Logan) Lake and other parts 
of the system, and his plan is the original of the Crown Land 
Office map of 1898 (Map, F). In 1900 Hoyt ran other lines, 
and in 1903 W. Malone ran yet others, one of which located 
and allowed of a sketch of Gover Lake, and all of which are 
shown on the large map. The map of the Adder Lake Stream 
basin of 1902, made by Mr. Furbish and myself (these notes, 
No. 63), located the headwaters of two of the Walkemik branches, 
including the remarkable Patchel Brook. The Sportsmen’s map 
by Whitehead of 1902 (Map, G), and the very small-scale map 
by Hough in Forest and Stream for November 8, 1902, are in 
part from the above sources and in part sketched. Thus down 
to this summer, while the principal lakes and streams had been 
located in certain points, none of them had been actually survey- 
ed, and the accompanying larger map is accordingly the first to 
be made from actual survey of these waters. The lakes have
