Bellin is not an authority in my opinion. Ile wort old maps, such as those of Champlain and Lescarbot, probably was puzzled by some defective or worn out of those maps. Ie read “Imbert”, where he should have “Hébert”. I have noticed several other mistakes or mi of that kind in Bellin’s productions, although they are, us à rule, very commendable.
