Besides these three above-mention’d Towns there are several others, which are not untaken notice of in the most modern Descriptions and Maps, _viz._ 1. _Stadac_, or _Stadacone_, somewhat Westward of a small Isle call’d _The Isle d’Orleance_; 2. _Quebeque_, which being made a Colony of the _French_, and the Natives expell’d, came to be Entituled _St. Croix_; 3. _Tadoussac_, which lies in that part of the Countrey denominated from the River _Saguenay_, and by some call’d at this day _Nouvelle Biscaye_, a delightful place, and full of stately Trees, and hath likewise a good and safe Haven, capable of receiving twenty Ships; 4. _Trois Rivieris_, or three Rivers; 5. _Monreal_; 6. _Sillery_; 7. _Richelieu_; besides two strong Castles or Forts, _Franceroy_ and St. _Lewis_; the First built by _Monsieur Robeval_ at his Landing here, about the Year 1540. the other design’d for a Colony, in the Year 1611. by _Monsieur Champlany_, but hinder’d by the Invasion of the _Iroquois_. The smaller Rivers that run out of the Gulph of St. _Lawrence_, and the grand River _Canada_ towards the North, on which side chiefly lies this Province, are, 1. _Chichesedec_, 2. St. _Margarite_, 3. _Lesquemin_, 4. _Saquenay_, before-mention’d, 5. _Montonne_; and on the South side, the River _Mary_. The principal Tribes of the ancient Natives of this Countrey were; on the North side of _Canada_ the _Canadans_, the _Betisiamites_, the _Hurons_, the _Algoniquins_, the _Quenongebins_, the _Algoingequins_, the _Attagopantans_, the _Atticameques_, the _Nipisiriniens_; and on the South side, the _Etechemins_, and the chief Heads or Princes of these Tribes were call’d _Sagamores_. [Sidenote: Strange Fish nam’d _Chaousarou_.] _Jaques Quartier_ Complementing their King _Agouthanna_, took up his Quarters a whole Winter at St. _Croix_, a Sandy Promontory, overflow’d by the River _Canada_, into which falls the Lake _de Champlain_, grown round about with Chestnut Trees; in it breeds the strange Fish call’d _Chaousarou_, generally ten Foot long, with Heads like Sharks, and two rows of Teeth in their Mouths, their Skins full of strong Scales, which are sufficient Shields against Swords and Lances, are great devourers of other Fish and Fowls, which they take after this manner, _viz._ they swim amongst Reeds or Canes, and lie still with their Mouths open; whereat the Birds sitting down upon them, are immediately swallow’d. The Natives of _Nova Francia_ anoint their bodies with Oil; in the Summer they go naked, and in the Winter mantle themselves in Furs. Their Warlike Accoutrements are Darts and Clubs, but chiefly great Shields. They are revengeful, cruel, and fraudulent; their Women common to all Men, from fifteen to twenty, after which, Marrying, they become very Chaste. Their Diet is _Indian_ Corn, fresh and salt Fish, Venison, _Buffalo_’s and Beavers flesh; wiping their Fingers (when greasie) on their Heads, or their Dogs backs, which wait for the Scraps.
