The Royal Society Medals : Awards for Scientific Research. — 

 Of the two Royal Medals to be awarded this year by the President 

 and Council of the Royal Society, the King has approved of one 

 being awarded to Dr. John Aitken, F.R.S., for researches in cloudy 

 condensations, and the other to Dr. Arthur Smith Woodward, 

 F.R.S., F.L.S., V.P.G.S., Keeper of the Department of Geology in 

 the British Museum (Natural History), and one of the Editors of the 

 Geological Magazine, for his researches in Vertebrate Palaeontology. 

 We offer him our hearty congratulations on this well-merited honour. 

 For his life and portrait see Geol. Mag. 1915, pp. 1-5, PI. I. 



The Woodwardian Professor of Geology in the University 

 of Cambridge. — This Chair, founded by Dr. John Woodward in 

 1722, and rendered illustrious by Professor Adam Sedgwick, who 

 held it from 1818 till 1872, when he was succeeded so happily by 

 one of his former pupils, Professor T. McKenny Hughes (1873- 

 1917), is now followed by another well-known Cambridge geologist, 

 John Edward Marr, Sc.D., F.R.S., who for thirty years or more has 

 fulfilled the important post of University Lecturer in Geology and 

 College Lecturer in St. John's. This election by the Senate has 

 been received with great satisfaction not only by University men 

 but by geologists at large, amongst whom Professor Marr is well 

 known and universally esteemed. A sketch of his life and work, 

 with a portrait, as an " Eminent Living Geologist", appeared in this 

 journal in July, 1916 (pp. 289-95, PI. XI). 



Lenham Beds and Miocene Rock from the North Sea. — 

 Mr. R. B. Newton, who recently described these interesting deposits 

 in the Journal of Conchology, xv, 1916-17 (Geol. Mag., June, July, 

 1917), and Quart. Journ. Geol. Soc, lxxii, 1916, respectively, has 

 now arranged a temporary exhibition series of the two faunas. 

 Those interested can see these specimens in the Gallery of Fossil 

 Mollusca at the British Museum (Natural History), on request, 

 during the next few months.
