 IsToMLAND. University of California publications in Geology, 

 vol. X, No. 13,, pp. 185-90, pi. v, 1917. 



t'^IVE new Tertiary Corals are described and figured, namely, 

 ' Astrangia horeas, n.sp., Pleistocene (?), Douglas I., Soutli- 

 Eastern Alaska; A. grandis, n.sp., Pliocene, Middle Fernando series, 

 Guadalupe, Santa Barbara County, California; Astreopora occidentalis, 

 n.sp., Tertiary (?), near Newport, Oregon; Caryophyllia oregonensis, 

 n.sp., Olig'ocene, Astoria series, near Smith's Point, North- Western 

 Oregon; Dendrophyllia caUforniana, n.sp., Oligocene, Agasoma 

 gravidum beds, near Walnut Creek, Contra Costa County, California. 

 An undetermined species of BalanopliyUia also is recorded from the 

 Pliocene, Middle Fernando series, Fugler Point, S.E. of Santa Maria, 

 Santa Barbara County, California, which is of interest as the " genus 

 has heretofore been unknown in the Tertiary deposits of the Pacific 

 Coast later than the Oligocene". 



Finally, an Oligocene Coral-fauna is mentioned, consisting of 

 Balanophijllia sp., Flabellum sp., Paracyathus sp., Pocillopora (?) sp., 

 Sphenotrochus (?) sp., and two species of Irochocyathus " associated 

 with Dendrophyllia hannihali, Nomland, or in the same series of beds as 

 that species", in the Astoria group of South-Western Washington.

1. Annual General Meeting. 



February 15, 1918. — Dr. Alfred Harker, F.R.S., President, in the 



Chair. 



The Beports of the Council and the Librarj^ Committee were read. 

 It was stated that there had been a total accession of 29 Fellows in 

 the course of 1917. During the same period the losses by death 

 and resignation amounted to 43. The total number of Fellows on 

 December 31, 1917, was 1,220. 



The Balance-sheet for that year showed receipts to the amount of 

 £2,966 10s. M. (excluding the balance of £676 12s. bd. brought 

 forward from 1916) and an expenditure of £3,581 Is. 6^. (including 

 the purchase for £475 of £500 5 per cent War Loan). 



The Reports having been received, after a brief discussion, the 

 President handed the Wollaston Medal, awarded to Dr. Charles 

 Doolittle Walcott, F.M.G.S., to Mr. William H. Buckler, Attache 

 to the Embassy of the United States of America in London, for 

 transmission to the recipient, addressing him as follows : — 



Mr. Buckler, — The Wollaston Medal, the highest honour at the 

 disposal of this Society, is conferred upon Dr. Charles Doolittle Walcott 

 in recognition of his eminent services to Geology and Palasontolog}^ more 

 particularly among the older fossiliferous rocks of North America. 

 While his administrative work, both on the United States Geological 

 Survey and at the Smithsonian Institution, has done much for science in 

 his own country, his personal researches have excited interest and admira- 

 tion wherever Geology is cultivated.
