		Pendant huit mois, de l’automne 1685 jusqu’à l’été 1686, on lui confia le commandement d’un petit navire et de son equipage avec mission d’accompagner l’intendant de Meulles qui se rendait en Acadie.

	Strange Science: Sea Monsters
		Denys de Montfort bragged that if this representation were swallowed, he would next represent a cephalopod embracing the Straits of Gibraltar.
		Seventy years later, Alexander Winchell did two admirable things: He called Denys de Montfort's depiction a sailor's yarn, but also suggested, "the unexplored depths of the ocean conceal the forms of octopods that far surpass in magnitude any of the species known to science." Winchell was right on both counts.
		In the 16th century, two naturalists, Rondelet and Pierre Belon, produced descriptions of animals they termed the Sea Monk, or monk-fish.
