Report of the Council |3 



the preparation of this volume and by those who attempt to 

 'follow in his footsteps. Not only his own papers, but many 

 of those of other workers were illustrated by his able brush 

 and pen, for instance some of Dr. Peringuey's papers on 

 S. African Coleoptera. 



Last but not least I may mention Mr. Fuller's rare enthusiasm 

 and devotion to his studies; I am sure he loves his Termites! 

 Rarely did I come to his room when he was Secretary, to dis- 

 cuss matters concerning the Society, but we would not soon be 

 conversing about possible wing-development, revolutionising 

 views about structure of stigmata, or the arrangement of termites 

 according to the joints of the antennae. It showed how deeply 

 and how often he thought about the problems that presented 

 themselves and how well the observations were digested before 

 they were sent to the press. 



While presenting this medal to you, Mr. Fuller, we add the 

 sincere wish that for many years to come you will be able to 

 continue your fascinating studies with as much success as you 

 have done in the past.
