The \«-a-t re- betwe%i4 Ernest Town and Amherst I land is not a part of the Bay of Quiu- fe. nor can it with propriety be styled a Bittf. It come- within thcgeo^raplj. ieal deliuition of a houmi^ cemmuui- eaiiiigwith the lake by an outlet at each end of the island,called the Lo*- er ami Upper Crap. Amherst Island h-in? about 12 milealon«f the sound is of the «ame length, aud ought to be named Amherst Island Soond. The Island stretching thus in front pf J-rnesf Town, breaks the wind-, and -wells of Hie lake, and shelter-, the har- ' «r. The waiter of die Sound is of course tolerably smooth ; but the lak<j winds come in through the Gaps, and sometimes make the water at those points quite rough, pariieularly against Mie lower Gap. Tho distance howev¬ er, is short ; and (hi* K tne only place 111 the whole rout* of the Bay and itiy- rSteam Boat, where it is exposed to any roughness of wat*r.

East of Bellville, the bay ex» pnodstothe breadth of five mileas— This expansion is vulgarly tenrftid the Big Bay. Ihe head of which rs perhaps four and its foot ten miles from Bell- Iville. Through (he middle of the l>ig bay. the water is shallow, with achau- nil of <uiiicient depth en each side. Ou its southern border there is a marshy inlet, trained MukkOOfa Buy, sard to be the limit between Aroeliavbui^gaod Sophiasburfir< On the Fast side ot tfye T-on" Reach is the nifranci* of Hay Bay. which sets up. in an Easterly di¬ re-: (ion, through the township of Ado}- phr.stown, and iiear-y through Fi cl- erirk«hnrg« 1^ derirrd its name from ihe adjoining r$e&dowffa which produce an abundance ol-hay. it appears too shallow to be navigated, <:\i'<i)t by small boats.
