KNITOIU historical & SriENTIFir SOCIETY.
REPORT OF THE ANNUAL MEETING, 188"..
the annual meeting of the Historicai
Saientitic Society was lield yesterday
frnooii, Rev. Dr. Bryce, president, in
chair, and about fifty members,
lev. Professor Hart, oorreapondiiig sec-
iry, read the annual report of the ex-
Itivc council, and the same was adopted
(motion of Rev. Canon O'Meara, sec-
Jed by Mr. John McDonald. The
kjrt was as follows : —
ANNUAL UEPOKT OF THE ('OL'NCIL.
Pho Executive Council begs to report
\t duruii; the past yeai a very much
?er amount of work has been done
HI in any previous year in the history
|the society.
NEW QUARI KS.
resolution Jiaving h m carried at
last annual meeting adv sing a change
I rooms, the present central, safe and
imodious quarters have been obtained.
society has been able to have a
tai-y and news room separate, and
tat was much needed before, a hall for
blic meetings. The hall has been
iind very suitable for the meetings of
lumber of societies and other bodies,
has been sub-let to the Board of
ide, Pet Stock Club, Reform Associa-
Jn, Medical and Chirurgical Society,
examinations of the University of
jmitoba and of the College of Physi-
is and Surgery, and the use has on
^eral occasions been given to the
lorthand Reporters' Association. The
t^enue received from these several
lies and the decreased insurance goes
to bring down the expenses to that
[the former limited quarters, while the
piety has many advantages. The hall
been used also for museum purposes,
^e contents of the museum have been
iiblod during the year, and additional
^es of furniture are urgently needed to
aw and [jreserve the articles obtained.
le increase has been chiefly in the
f>lo»ical rind archoiological departments,
well as in the large collection of
^vid Young. Esq., entrusted to our
re.
SCIENTIKI'.' WOIIK.
The most striking feature of the year
is probably the incrtasc of scientific
work in the society. Railway connec-
tion with the Rockies has stimulated re-
search in this department.
(a. ) Geology — During the year Messrs.
Panton, McCharles, Bell, Goodridge and
others have been active in study and
investigations in this direction. Large
accumulations of fossils of Silurian
age have been obtained from the Red
River Valley. Explorers and friends of
the society have sent us specimens large
and valuable from the cretaceous rocks
of the fossil reptiles, cephalopods, etc.,
abounding in the far west. In this de-
partment the loss of Mr. Panton will be
much felt, but it is to be hoped his
mantle will fall on some worthy succes-
sor.
(b. ) Botany — An opportunity was oft-
ered during the year of obtaining an in-
crease of specimens for the society, as well
as of supplying the Provincial Govern-
ment museum with a collection. Four
observers were appointed — (1) in Lake
Winnipeg district, (2) Lake of the Woods
region, (3) Southern Manitoba, (4) West-
ern Manitoba. Some hundreds of speci-
mens wore obtained. One observe- was
unfortunate in the almost total loss of his
200 specimens; th«8e obtained are now
being named and catalogued; some hun-
dreds will be in a short time in the hands
of the society and government. Dr.
Haydon has presented the society with a
number of well preserved botanical
specimens, as also Mr. Goodridge from
his collection made on the Rocky Mount-
ain Expedition IJ years ago.
(c.) Zoology — In the department of
ornithology Mr. E. E. T. Seton, a most
active correapwnding member of the
society at Carberry, Manitoba, has done
j good service. He is superintendent for
1 the Northwest of the American Ornitho-
I logical Union. Mr. Seton has made the
I animals of Manitoba a special study. He
I was likewise most successful as one of
it
11
the botanical collectors already referred
to.
(d.) Archu!«loKy — In
of atudy of tho inound
advance has been made
The president visited
the department
builders, much
during tho year.
the celebrated
Rainy River mound region, with its 21
mounds : opened two mounds and
brought back a large ({uantit^ of remains,
which are now in the museum of the
society.
VISIT OF THE URITISH ASSOCIATION.
The visit of this distinguished scientific
body was one of the society's most im-
portant matters. The Provincial Govern-
ment and City Council recognizing the
Historical and Scientific Society aa the
proper body to entertain the strangers,
each made a grant of $250 to assist in an
exhibition suitable for the occasion. The
exhibition was generally admitted to be
a most valuable exhibit of the historical
and physical features of the Northwest.
Such an exhibition as this, well carried
through, will do more to recommend the
country than a whole series of banquets
and ice palaces. The rooms of the so-
ciety were, during the whole month of
August, frequented by visitors from the
mother country. The exhibition lasted
for two weeks, tho receipts were $1,290.-
60, and notwithstanding the exceedingly
bad weather, added some $200 to our
society's funds.
ROYAL SO<;IETV OK CANADA.
The Royal Society meeting annually
at Ottawa has affiliated our society, along
with some fourteen others throughout
the Dominion. The president proceeded
to Ottawa in May to represent the So
ciety. He was accorded a most hearty
reception : made a statement of the
work of our society, and presented the
mother society with a morocco bound
copy of the publications of our society.
He also read a paper "A plea for a Cana-
dian Camden Society," which has been
extensively circulated, and promises to
be the means of leading to the publica-
tion of a number of the works of early
explorers now almost unknown or out of
print.
PUBLIC MEETINGS.
The meetings of the society have been
larger than in any former year. The
Executive Council has had ^,1 meetings
during the year and the society nine.
The new hall was opened on the 24th of
April with an address by the President.
The following are the

READING ROOM AND LIBBARV.
The newspapers and magazines takej
by the society from a very attractii
feature of the society's work. Almost ;
the provincial newspapers are sent frtj
of charge to the society, and the cound
desires to put on record its thanks for tbi
continued and hearty favors snown \f
their proprie*^ors to the objects of tn
society in thus supplying our news rooiii
The perusal of the collection of magazind
and periodicals is itself a full repaymeu
to members for the very moderate duej
exacted by the society. In appendix
a list of papers and magazines is added!
During the year considerable addition!
have been made to the libraay. The folj
lowing volumes have been added durin
the year: In science, 40 vols. ; NorttJ
west books, including arctic, 30 vo1b.I
general literature, including fiction, 19|
vols. ; total, 269 vols.

most popular addition was thus made
I the reading department of the library.
)uring the year, by the direction of the
)uncil, a catalogue was published of the
|olumes in the library; this was done at
urgent request of members who
liake the most use of the library. The
>uncii regrets that the number sold to
ite has hardly justitied the expense in-
irred in preparint; the catalogue — less
lan 100 copies having been sold.
BXCHANOE.S.
The increasing age and reputation of
le society, t<^gether with the fortunate
rrangements made with other learned
ftcieties, has resulted in the society
}rary receiving a large number of works
; value. Special notice should be taken
the continued receipt of the publica-
»ns of the Smithsonian Institution,
|nited States Government,and Dominion,
itario and Manitoba Governments. A
kt of societies from which publications
re received is found in appendix B. It
1 but right to state that in the receipt
id acknowledgment of exchanges, in
le cataloguing, moving and arrange-
ment of the library, and in the superin-
Indence of the rooms, as well as in the
^avy work of the exhibition held by the
ciety, the librarian has had an excep-
bnally heavy year. The increased spase
Id accommodation now possessed by the
eiety, as well as the number of meet-
;s, makes extra demands upon the
^rarian. During the past year the ex-
itive council has felt it due to add a
inus of $200 to the salary of Mr.
ighan, and regrets that the funds of
society do not justify the addition of
irger amount.
MEMBERS.
)uring the year the death took place
iHon. A. M. Sutherland, a rising public
kn of the Province, and a good friend
Ithe society. The sympathy of the so-
|ty is offered to his bereaved friends
relatives. Near the end of the year
lalready noted, Mr. J, H. Panton, M.
I, left the field of work of the society.
We shall gratefully remember his eflbrts
for the society. It would be desirable to
retain the name of Mr. Panton oh the
list of corresponding members. The
number of members added during the
year has been 122 — as against 147 in the
previous year. The total membership of
the society is now 381.
HTANDIN(J t:OMMITTEE.S.
The library committee has done a large
amount of work during the year. On
the 27th of March and 8th of May it
submittod elaborate reports with propo-
sitions for the organization of the lib-
rary. The committee has selected books,
examined tenders for books, binding and
magazines and supervised the publica-
tion of piipers. The finance committee
has had luany meetings, and in no pre-
vious year of the society's history have
the Hnance» of the society received such
careful attention. Reference should be
made to the service of the prompt and in-
defatigable treasurer, Mr. Goodridge. The
science committee made but one report,
but this was valuable, as it led to the di-
rection of effort in connection with the
botanical and geological departments of
our work.
FINANCIAL CONDITION.
The society began the year with a bal-
ance in hand of $454.15 in its library
account, which, though now reduced to
$12. 2G, is represented by valuable ad-
ditions to the library. For ordinary re-
venue a much increased expenditure was
needed on account of the change of
rooms, outlay in furniture, increase of
expenses for rent and maintenance. The
council is glad to state that after having
paid as last year a bonus of $200 to the
hard-working secretary, all obligations
have been met. On ordinary aceount $2,-
122.!»8 has bee i received, and $2,11().G5
expended, leaving a balance of $0.3.'$ on
hand. In regard to the secretary's salary
it is rocomuiended by the executive coun-
cil that it should be considered by the
society what salary the secretary should
receive, as the council finds the bonus
system into which it has fallen an incon-
venient one. The treasurer's statement,
audited, is herewith presented.
REVENUE.
At the beginning of the year, on ac-
count of the increased advantages as well
as greater expense incurred, the council
appealed to those members of more than
one year's standing for an additional $3
per annum. About thirty members re-
sponded to tne appeal. As our annual
dues are so small the council is of opin-
I

yoar tliu hope w,w iMcluIi^cd that by this
timt! or a littlo later tho society might l»e

The untinished state of tho City Hall
loaves us still in doubt. In regard to tho
future, should tho >rrants now given and
the rents received still hold good, y(Mn'
council is of opinion that the incoming
may V)e hopefully faced. It is cheering
to notice that an association likely to feel
more than most others tho depression
prevailing, should ho able to present such
a balance sheet as your council has tlio
hjnor of presenting.
All of which is respectfully submitted.
