T It is possible that the two references to ‘fir' by Stewart (1831) may refer either to pine or to the conifers in general (see footnote 8 of the text). The only records not included in the above table are Chappell (1775-1818), the Peake Business Papers (1836) and the J. C. Morris (1864-1868) Account Books. ln his daybook

Chappell recorded the following number of distinct mentions of wood or trees while he was working at New London (1775-1778): pine - 3; spruce - 1; fir - 6; maple - 6; beech - 1; birch - 1; yellow birch — 2; oak - 1; and while he was at Charlottetown (1779-1818): pine - 25; spruce - 2; hemlock - 1; beech - 23; birch - 11; yellow birch - 19; white birch - 18; maple - 10; oak - 17; ash - 1; poplar - 6. In the Peake Papers the following are the number of mentions of each tree: pine ~ 10; spruce - 10; hemlock - 1; ‘juniper‘ (i.e. tamarack) - 1; birch —

2; oak - 1; and in the Morris accounts: pine - 2; spruce - 10; birch - 3.
