SOUTH AFRICA MEDAL AND FUND. 



{Raised by Members of the British Association in commemora- 

 tion of their visit to South Africa in 1903.) 



After tbe conclusion of the Presidential Address in the 

 Hall of the Grand Hotel, Bulawayo, on Monday, July 3, the 

 President, Prof. P. D. Hahn, handed the South Africa Medal 

 and grant of £50 to Dr. L. Peringuey, F.E.S., F.Z.S., Director 

 ■of the South African Museum, Cape Town. In doing so the 

 President said that it was usual for the Association, at its Annual 

 Session, to present this medal, which was bestowed for achieve- 

 ment and promise in scientific research in South Africa, and 

 was awarded to persons whose scientific work is likely to be 

 usefully continued by them in the future. This year it had been 

 decided to award the medal to Dr. Peringuey. Dr. Peiinguey 

 had for many years conducted entomological research in South 

 Africa ; in fact, his work in that department had been so impor- 

 tant that he might well be called the father of South African 

 entomology. It was, moreover, of such importance that the 

 University of the Cape of Good Hope had bestowed upon him 

 the honorary degree of Doctor of Science. He had pleasure in 

 presenting Dr. Peringuey with the medal, together with the grant 

 which accompanied it. in recognition of the valuable services 

 which he had rendered to science in South Africa. 



Dr. Peringuey expiressed his thanks in suitable terms.
