In presenting our report we are pleased to be able to say that as 
regards number of members, publications, meetings, papers read, addi- 
tions to our historical room visitors, our work has not fallen behind that 
of other years. In our last report we chronicled a new departure—the 
marking of historic spots, and we have found with this as is frequently 
found in life, one step taken leads to others, work accomplished opens 
the way to new discoveries. Seven markers in all were placed and one 
of these, marking the house built by the Count de Puisaye in 1798, 
half of which still stands, led to the gaining of much valuable infor- 
mation, as it has been found by our Society that there are descendants 
of the brother of the Countess, that the portraits of the Count and 
Countess are in existence here, that the sword presented to the Count, 
by the celebrated statesman, William Pitt, is in Toronto, owned by a 
kinsman of the Countess. 
We have now between forty and fifty members, resident and non- 
resident, about equally divided. We have published during the year, 
No. 8 Family History,—The Servos family and the Whitmore family, 
by Wm. Kirby, F.R.S.C., Robert Land, by John Land, and the Jarvis 
letters, by Mrs. Fitzgibbon, and we are now publishing inscriptions and 
graves in the Niagara Peninsula, containing references to fifty grave- 
yards and a paper prepared by Col. Cruikshank is to be published next. 
We exchange with twenty societies and have distributed during 
the year 400 copies of our publications. The historical room has been 
visited by many strangers and numerous additions have been made to 
it, our collection now numbering 1,500 articles. An historical column 
still appears at intervals in our local paper.
