XXXII THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF CANADA 



Rev Father Jones read his paper on "Palaeological and Archae- 

 ological Frauds," taken with the discussion led by W. D. Lighthall, 

 on "Spurious Portraits of Canadian Historical Characters." 



As to publication of transactions it was resolved that Section II 

 join with Section I in publishing their papers in the form of a quarterly, 

 it being understood that no papers be published by this Section which 

 have not been read or approved by the Section. It was further re- 

 solved to ask that at the end of the year the quarterly sections be 

 bound together and so issued to the members. 



A printing Committee was appointed consisting of Drs. LeSueur 

 and Coyne and Mr. Burpee. 



Dr. LeSueur presented the two papers of Dr. Siebert on the 

 Loyalists of Machiche, P.Q., and of Gaspé. 



Mr. D. C. Scott called attention to Professor Wrong's paper 

 on "Bourlamaque." 



The papers on "Highways of the Fur Trade," by Mr. Burpee, and 

 "The Capture of Oswego," by Dr. Grant, were read. 



The elections of the Section were as follows : 

 President: R. W. McLachlan. 

 Vice-President: Dr. Shortt. 

 Secretary: W. D. Lighthall, K.C. 



The meeting then adjourned. 



On the motion of Dr. Coyne, seconded by Dr. LeSueur, the report 

 of Section II was adopted.
