HUDEN Uni'Uersity of Vermont This study is the fifth in a series by Dr. Huden, beginning with the January, 195>, quarterly. The general theme has to do with the neglected Indian phase of vermont history and indirectly with the early relationships between Canada and vermont. The studies should be, at this point, regarded as exploratory in character. The generous co-operation of Canadian scholars and officials has made these studies possible. Acknowledgements in full appear in the author's notes. OSEPH-LOUIS was by no means the only St. Francis tribesman who J made trips to the Upper Connecticut or to Lake Champlain; Indians, French-Canadians and deserters from both sides were going and coming almost at will. To check this, in the autumn of 1777 Captain Hertel de Rouville was sent with his British Company to occupy St. Francis. De Rouville was ordered to give most careful attention to travel up and down the St. Francis River, which has one of its sources in Lake Memphremagog and had for ages been a main Indian trail !O the Upper Connecticut. This route was well known and often used by Stockbridges, Mohicans, Pennacooks and Coosucks, as well as by white veterans of Amherst's campaigns. But in spite of de Rouville's clamp-down, Indians and whites went hither and yon practically unmolested.

Through a regional study of ten lake and river sites, including some which 19 are sources of municipal drinking water, this investigation confirms for the first time the 20 widespread presence of potentially toxic benthic filamentous cyanobacteria in south-central 21 Quebec. These findings indicate that water quality monitoring programs in this region need to 22 consider benthic cyanobacteria as a potential source of toxins. 23 Page 1 of 8 bioRxiv preprint doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/580035; this version posted March 16, 2019.
