EEPORTS OF ASSOCIATED SOCIETIES. 



I. — From The Numismaiic and Antiquarian Society of Montreal, through 

 Judge L. W. Sicotte. 



The Society during the past year has oontinued to augmeat its 

 collections by the addition of a number of mementoes of Canadian his- 

 tor}', of Canadian portraits and books relating to Cajniada. It has thus 

 been able to save from destruction some things very important to 

 Canadian archaeology. 



These additions were: Canadian antiquities, 68; coins and medals, 

 27. Portraits of eminent Canadians — Oils, 5; engravings, 10; photo- 

 graphs, 10. Canadian scenes — Water colours, 2; engi-avings, 8; photo- 

 graphs, 11. Canadian books, 73; pamphlets, 50; other books, 350; 

 documents, 123; maps and plans, 10; and periodicals, 250. 



On account of the inconvenienices caused by the repairs to the 

 building, the scientific researches of the members were somewhat ham- 

 pered during the year. Still, the following papers were read : — 



1.—" The First Canadian Agricultural Medal,'' R. W. McLachlan. 



2. — " An Account of a Company of Scottish Settlers in Washington 

 County, N.Y.," James Reed. 



3.—" Xew Canadian Coins and Medals, 1903," R. W. McLachlan. 



•1. — ^'Biographical Sketches of a dumber of Celebrated Canadians," 

 Hon, Justice Baby. 



5. — "Early Renaissance Wood Carvings Found in an Old Church 

 near Quebec," W. D. Lighthall. 



The efforts of the Society last year to prevent the imminent de- 

 struction of the Château de Ramesay were not only crowned with 

 success, but they have resulted in a general consensus of opinion that 

 the building should be retained in perpetuity in as near its original 

 form as possible. The number of visitors has so continued to increase 

 from year to year that it is now estimated at 100,000 annually. 



The officers for 1904 are: — 



President — Hon. Justice Baby. 



Vice-Presidents.— L. W. Sicotte, W. D. Lighthall, C. T. Hart, L. 

 O. A. Cressé, and James Reid. 



Hon. Treasurer. — George Dumford. 



Hon. Curator. — R. W. McLachlan.
