CXIV THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF CANADA 
being carted to the dump when they were rescued by Mr. Jonas Howe, 
one of our members, who overhauled them and took measures for their 
preservation, and now has in hand the classification and indexing of 
the collection. 
The Society has held regular monthly meetings, from September 
to May, at which papers have been presented by Dr. Geo. U. Hay, 
Archdeacon Raymond, D. Russell Jack and Dr. Theodore H. Boggs/ 
It is not improbable that the by-laws of the Society may be altered 
in the near future so as to provide for the admission of women mem- 
bers. Hitherto the membership has been confined to men. 
The Society has been giving some attention to the marking of 
historic sites. Arrangements are in hand for placing a memorial upon 
the historic “Isle Emenenic,” twenty miles up the St. John river, 
where a party of fishermen and traders of St. Malo established a little 
settlement in 1611, the first known European settlement within the 
confines of New Brunswick. The tercentenary of the establishment 
of this settlement will be duly honored by an historical picnic held 
at the site during the coming summer, when the memorial will be un- 
veiled with fitting ceremonial. 
The Society hopes that a memorial may soon be erected in honour 
of the Acadian heroine Lady La Tour, and also one upon the spot where 
the Loyalists landed at St. John, on the 18th of May, 1783.

Presented by VEN. ARCHDEACON Raymonp, F.R.S.C., Delegate. 
Since the date of the last report of the New Brunswick Loyalists’ 
Society, the meetings have been regularly held and well attended, 
the year having been one of the most successful in the history of the 
Society. The membership, while small, has shown a greater increase 
than at any time since the first year of organization. 
A Statue of Sir Samuel Leonard Tilley, many years Governor of 
New Brunswick, and afterwards Minister of Finance of the Dominion 
of Canada, who was the first and only President of our Society until 
the time of his death, was unveiled on King Square in the City of Saint 
John, in June last. The movement for the erection of this statue 
originated with the New Brunswick Loyalists’ Society, and the first : 
money raised for that purpose was through its instrumentality. 
A paper prepared by the Historian of our Society dealing with 
the death of Major John André, was read on Loyalists’ Day, May 18th,
