APPENDIX F LXXXIX 
II.— Report of the Ontario Historical Society. 
Presented by Davip Wizrrams, President, Delegate. 
As President of the Ontario Historical Society I have the honour 
to present herewith to The Royal Society of Canada the Thirteenth 
Annual Report showing the progress made in our work during the year 
ended April 30, 1912. 
I am pleased to be able to report a marked increase in the member- 
ship of the Society. The broad Province of Ontario provides a wide 
field with excellent opportunities for historical research, and we are 
extending our operations as rapidly as possible with the view of forming 
a chain of local societies covering every point of historical interest. 
LIBRARY. 
Our Library has been enriched by many valuable Reports, Records, 
Transactions, etc., of Historical Societies, Universities and Libraries, 
received since the Jast annual meeting, a complete list of which will be 
found in the report herewith submitted. 
COMMITTEES. 
The various committees appointed at the annual meeting in 
Brockville in July, 1910, presented most encouraging reports at our 
meeting in Brantford on June, 1911. The work of the Historic Sites 
and Monuments Committee was exceptionally well done, covering as 
it did practically every branch of the history of the Province for the 
year. Every item of interest has been faithfully dealt with, making 
the report a most valuable one to the student of current historical 
events. 
The reclamation of Fort George at Niagara, the improvement of 
Fort York, Toronto, the erection of a monument to the Great Indian 
Chief, Tecumseh, and a fitting recognition of Canada’s hero, General 
Brock, are live issues with which the Society is at present engaged, and 
which, it is confidently expected, will be successfully accomplished.

ANNUAL MEETING. 
The annual meeting will be held this year in the beautiful little 
town of Napanee, where the parent body will be entertained by the 
local Society. A splendid programme has been prepared, and several 
matters of vital interest to the society will be discussed. This being
