_D_. Shoal at the entrance of the harbor. [Note: The letter D is also
wanting, but the figures sufficiently indicate the depth of the
water.]
_E_. A small island covered with wood. [Note: The letter E appears twice by
mistake.]
_F_. Cape de la Heve [Note: The letter F is likewise wanting. It has been
supposed to be represented by one of the E's on the small island, but
Cap de la Heve, to which it refers, was not on this island, but on the
main land. The F should have been, we think, on the west of the
harbor, where the elevation is indicated on the map. _Vide_ note 22.]

On the 13th of May, we arrived at a very fine harbor, where there are two
little streams, called Port au Mouton, [24] which is seven leagues distant
from that of Rossignol. The land is very stony, and covered with copse and
heath. There are a great many rabbits, and a quantity of game in
consequence of the ponds there.
