America -- Discovery and exploration -- French; Indians of North America -- Canada; New France -- Discovery and exploration
16. Figure 2 is not found on the map, and it is difficult to identify the
place referred to.
17. Bluets, _Vaccinium Canadense_, the Canada blueberry. Champlain says it
is a small fruit very good for eating. _Vide_ Quebec ed. Voyage of
1615, p. 509.
18. _Vide_ Vol. II. p. 176.
19. For _Lac S. Joseph_, read Lac S. Charles.
20. Champlain here calls the Chaudière the River of the Etechemins,
notwithstanding he had before given the name to that now known as the
St. Croix. _Vide_ Vol. II. pp. 30, 47, 60. There is still a little east
of the Chaudière a river now known as the Etechemin; but the channel of
the Chaudière would be the course which the Indians would naturally
take to reach the head-waters of the Kennebec, where dwelt the
Abenaquis.
21. River Verte, entering the St. Lawrence on the south of Green Island,
opposite to Tadoussac.
22. Green Island.
23. Jacques Cartier River.
24. Near the Batiscan.
25. Nicolet. _Vide_ Laverdière's note, Quebec ed. Vol. III. p. 328.
26. River St. Francis.
27. Rivière du Loup.
28. River Richelieu.
29. This number is wanting.
30. The Falls of St Louis, above Montreal. The figures are wanting.
31. One of the small rivers between Cobequid Bay and Cumberland Strait.
32. Moose Hunting, on the west of Gaspé.
33. Argentenay.--_Laverdière_.
34. Champlain had not been in this region, and consequently obtained his
information from the savages. There is no such lake as he represents on
his map, and this island producing pure copper may have been Isle
Royale, in Lake Superior.
35. The Falls of St. Mary.
36. York River.
37. The Ristigouche.
38. Now called North Point.
39. Probably Gold River, flowing into Mahone Bay.
40. Still called Port La Tour.
41. Halifax Harbor. _Vide_ Vol. II. note 266.
42. _Vide_ Vol. II. note 192.
43. Now Cape Chignecto, in the Bay of Fundy.
44. Advocates' Harbor.
45. Richmond Island _Vide_ note 42 Vol. I. and note 123 Vol. II. of this
work.
46. The Isles of Shoals. _Vide_ Vol. II. note 142.
47. Boston Bay.
48. Martha's Vineyard _Vide_ Vol. II. note 227.
49. Merrimac Bay, as it may be appropriately called stretching from Little
Boar's Head to Cape Anne.
50. These islands appear to be in Casco Bay.
51. The figures are not on the map. The reference is to the Scoudic,
commonly known as the River St Croix.
52. There is probably a typographical error in the figures. The passage
should read "66 or 67 years ago."
53. Now Old Point Comfort.
54. Jamestown, Virginia.
55. _Vide_ Vol. II. note 95.
56. This should read 1609. _Vide_ Vol. II. note 348.
57. Lake George _Vide antea_, note 63. p. 93.
58. This cape still bears the same name.
59. This number is wanting.
