Map No. 16. To illustrate the county lines in the English Period.
Dr. William F. Ganong, "A Monograph of the Evolution of the Boundaries of the Province of New Brunswick," p. 227, Transactions of the Royal Society of Canada, Second Series, 1901-1902, Vol. VII., Sec. II.

Dr. Ganong noted:
"When the map showing New Brunswick in the English Period contained in the preceding Monograph was made, I had but scanty, and as it has since proven erroneous information as to the bounds of Sunbury, and hence the lines are given erroneously on that map. They are correct on the accompanying map No. 16.

"The boundaries of Sunbury County given seem, for the Passamaquoddy region, remarkable, but they are explained by the fact that they follow the western line of the grant of 1765 to Governor Bernard and others."

The reference to the map in the "preceding Monograph" can only refer to Map 45, an insert between pages 330 and 331 in Dr. Ganong's "A Monograph of Historic Sites in the Province of New Brunswick," published in the Transactions of the Royal Society of Canada, Second Series, 1899-1900. Vol. V., Sec. II. But, subsequently, Dr. Ganong's Map. 7, on page 42 in "A Monograph of the Origins of the Settlements in New Brunswick," published in the Transactions of the Royal Society of Canada, Second Series, 1904-1905, Vol. X., Sec. II., illustrates yet a different boundary, without comment or explanation.
