Three members were received, J. B. Walkem, H. Tandy and M. H. Folger. Others have appliea for membership. The paper read Arthur, it being a one given by him was by James Mec- continuation of the some time ago on the derivation of names of counties, : townships and municipalities in On- tario. It was full of useful informa- tion. After referring to the origin of a number of names, he proceeded to give interesting particulars in connee- tion with the persons from whom the names were derived. Mr. McArthur pointed out that the names were nev. er mere arbitrary sounds, but were records of the past, inviting historical investigation. The counties mentioned by the speak- were : Welland, Oxford, Elgin, Kent, Lamb- ton, Kssex, Middlesex, Perth, Huron, Bruce, Gray; the districts, Haliburton, Muskoka, Parry Sound, Nipissing: the townships, principally those of the surrounding counties, including Fronte- nac. Some of these townships, he said, were named after King George III and his numerous family. Some after Brit- ish statesmen, naval and military heroes and noblemen. Some after Ca- nglian officials; some after places in (freat Britain, and a few after ani- mals. Oso, he explained, is Spanish for "bear." and its name was bestowed by Sir Peregrine Maitland, so long a licutenant-governor of Upper Canada. Floss, Tiny and Tay, now populous townships, were named by him aftér three small lap dogs, belonging to his wife. A hearty vote of thanks was tender ed Mr. McArthur, on motion of Rev. Mr. Cartwright, seconded by Troi. Shortt. The president and the scere tary will arrange for the paper at the January meeting. p-- He Was Looked After.
