Anniversary Meeting. 185 



The President then presented the Balance of the Proceeds of tlie 

 Murchison Geological Eund to Dr. Arthur Morley Davies, addressing 

 him as follows : — 



Dr. MoKLEY Davies, — It is recognized by your friends and colleagues that 

 the original work which you have completed has been accomplished under 

 singular difficulties and in the stress of a very busy life. You have been 

 specially attracted by the series of anomalous deposits, which in various parts 

 of Buckinghamshire and the vicinity come between the Oxford Clay and the 

 Chalk, and several members of the sequence have been elucidated by your 

 careful and detailed stratigraphical and palaeontological research. You have 

 collected many of these results, and combined them with other information, 

 in your clear and concise summary of the Geology of Buckinghamshire pubhshed 

 in Geology in the Field. You have spent much thought and industry on the 

 preparation of a tectonic map of the British Isles, a work long needed by 

 geologists, and one which we hope will shortly see the light. You have 

 sympathies also with the geographic side of science, as testified by your work 

 on the Geography of the British Isles, your admirable little volume on the 

 Geography of Buckinghamshire, and a number of papers dealing with such 

 subjects as lie on the borderland between history and geography. You will 

 perhaps also allow me to express here my very warm appreciation of the great 

 value of your work as a colleague at the Imperial College of Science and 

 Technology, and it is this which makes it an exceptional pleasant duty for me 

 to hand you the Balance of the Murchison Fund during my last year of office. 



In presenting a moiety of the Ealance of the Proceeds of the Lyell 

 Geological Fund to Dr. Arthur Richard Dwerryhouse, the President 

 addressed hira as follows : — 



Dr. DwEKKYHOUSE, — When, as Secretary of the Society, it was my duty to 

 read the manuscript of your paper on the Glaciation of the Valleys of the Tees 

 and other northern rivers, I got the impression that it was a model of scientific 

 exposition, an opinion confirmed when I saw it in print. But this represents 

 only a part of the service that you have rendered to the Glacial Geology of the 

 North and Midlands of England and of the North of Ireland. In each locality 

 you have discovered something new and something throwing fresh light upon 

 the conditions that prevailed during the Glacial Epoch. But you have also 

 been able to pursue inquiries along other lines ; for instance, the circulation of 

 underground waters, the origin of caves, and the weathering of rocks, while in 

 your Presidential addresses to the Liverpool Geological Society you have dealt 

 with far larger geological problems. As a contributor to the Glacialists' 

 Magazine, as Secretary for several years of Section C of the British Association, 

 and as a member of the Committee on Erratic Blocks, you have discharged 

 other duties to your science. In your papers on the Eskdale Granite and its 

 metamorphism, you have approached a difficult petrographical problem, and 

 made an important contribution to its solution. Finally, your recent work on 

 geological maps will be of great help in educating students to deal in the 

 laboratory with geological problems which they will have later to face in the 

 field. I have the pleasure to hand you a moiety of the Balance of the Proceeds 

 of the Lyell Geological Fund. 



The President then presented the other moiety of the Balance of the 

 Proceeds of the Lyell Geological Pund to Eobert Heron Rastall, M. A., 

 addressing him as follows : — 



Mr. Eastall, — It is fitting that both authors of so novel and important 

 a work as Lake and BastaWs Textbook should receive awards from the 

 Geological Society on the same occasion. In making this award, however, 

 the Council had in mind not only that work, but the labour which you have for 

 many years devoted to your science in original research. You have been 

 attracted most strongly by petrographical problems, as is indicated by your 

 contributions to Dr. Hatch's work on that subject, by your papers on the
