We visited the two principal summits On climbing that toward the 
east which is exactly opposite the lower part of the valley of the Chatte 
and seems to terminate it, when one sees it from the St, Laurence, we 
climbed the north slope of the chain which presents -a fa^ce of which the 
declivity cannot be less than 45° by 3000 ft, and we found that before the 
horizon showed on the low hills between us fend the (St, Lawrence) River 
(fleuve not riviere) we had reached an elevation of 1753 ft, above its sur¬ 
face, The highest spring of water which we could discover is found at an 
elevation of 3544 ft. The water of this spring, coming from the strata at 
upper 
the base of the peak is abundant and of an excellent potable quality. 
The summit of the peak itself which is a point or crest of bare rock has 
3768 ft, elevation whil‘d the flat and broad top of another mount' 1 .in to 
which we gave the name Mattaouisse, name which in Micrnac means porcupine, 
because we killed one of these animals, in climbing one of its slopes, and 
on which we spent thfe firfet night of our climb, having arrived there by 
mistake, is 3365 ft, A deep ravine separates It. Mattaouisse from the 
from another 
principal peak and another separates it, in the form of a dome. 
As to the principal summit on the west of the Chatte River to which 
we gave the name Mt . Bayfield in honor of Capt . Bayfield who has indicated 
the position on one of his maps, we found that it has an elevation of 3471 
feet after having arrived by a very hard and fatiguing climb from the gorge 
to a "noyau" or massive escarpment of a mountain 2669 ft high which acquired 
the name of Bonhomme from the esistence of. a large ro<ck as standing on a 
step of its slope in the attitude of a man who spied what was passing below 
and by a route along the chain or crossing the mountain with a triple 
summit more than 3000 ft separated from ivl t. Bayfield by two ravines and an 
intermediate mountain of medium elevation. 
'•11 those heights given between the two principal summits are the 
little chains or links of a chain, situated on the north of the longitudinal
