12. Lac de Soissons So named after Charles de Bourbon, Count de Soissons, a Viceroy of New France in 1612. _Vide antea_, p 112. Now known as the Lake of Two Mountains.

15. An island in the River St Lawrence west of Tadoussac, still called Hare Island. _Vide antea_, note 148.

18. _Vide_ Vol. II. p. 176.
19. For _Lac S. Joseph_, read Lac S. Charles.
20. Champlain here calls the Chaudiere 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 Chaudiere a river now known as the Etechemin; but the channel of the Chaudiere would be the course which the Indians would naturally take to reach the head-waters of the Kennebec, where dwelt the Abenaquis.

33. Argentenay.--_Laverdiere_.
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.
