Preparati in vista dell'identificazione di quei villaggi visitati e descritti da Champlain e dai primi missionari in America, perché, mentre le rovine native in CentralAmerica e in Messico possono anteditare Ste. Marie, nessun altro edificio di bianchi. Una delle caratteristiche della rovina è il sistema di trincee artificiali per la protezione del luogo quando era in uso, o che il traduttore Eng-lish di Isaia chiamerebbe i suoi ruscelli di difesa.

. Notes of sites of Huron villages in the township of Tiny, Simcoe County, and adjacent parts. Prepared with a view to the identification of those villages visited and described by Champlain and the early missionaries . in America, because, while the native ruins in CentralAmerica and Mexico may antedate Ste. Marie, no other building of whitemen does. One of the features of the ruin is the system of artificial trenchesmade for the protection of the place when it was in use, or what the Eng-lish translator of Isaiah would call its brooks of defence. The fortstands on a corner formed by two of these trenches, one branching off at HISTORIC SITES OF TAY a right angle from the main trench. These may still be seen, althoughthey show less clearly than when the first settlers came, especially theparts at the southwest corner of the fort. It was at this corner where onecould see the archway or passage for canoes and for getting water, ofwhich the old settlers used to speak, but it has long since collapsed. A plan of Ste. Marie in 1852 by the Rev. Geo. Hallen, furnishes theaccompanying engraving made by photographic methods. This will be ofmore value to students of history than any plan in recent years, as the. Plan of Ste. Marie on the Wye. By the Rev. Geo. Hallen (in 1852) present condition of the fort scarcely admits of the making of a sketchshowing its original profile. Although the small tracing of the fort in theRev. Felix Martins Montreal edition of Bressanis Relation was copiedfrom this plan of Mr. Hallens, it lacks a number of the details of thisoriginal sketch, especially the moats. On the original sketch Mr. Hallen wrote a note that is worthy of at-tention—In the (easterly) Bastion is an instance of the flank of a bastionbeing curved with its convexity towards the interior of the work, insteadof being rectilinear. The original sketch also furnishes us with meansfor the measurement of the dimensions of the fort. The curtains on thetwo sides fortified by stonework
