In presenting the Lyell Medal of the Geological Society to Prof. 
Rupert Jones, February 21, 1890, the President, Dr. W. T. Blanford, 
said: “There is unusual pleasure in presenting one of the chief 
awards in the gift of the Council to a geologist who has been so 
long and so honourabiy associated with the Geological Society as 
yourself, and the appropriateness of the award is not decreased by 
the circumstance that your official connection with the Society 
commenced when the great geologist, who founded this medal, was 
President. Since that time, now forty years ago, you have written 
much on various fossil organisms, but especially on the Entomostraca 
and Foraminifera, and in many cases, and especially amongst the 
Bivalved Crustaceans of the older rocks, it is largely to your 
researches that we are indebted for our present knowledge of these 
forms. You have also devoted much time and attention to the 
Geology of South Africa, and to bringing together the scattered 
information that we possess concerning the geology of that interesting 
region. I think that the Council have carried out the intentions of 
Sir Charles Lyell, and that they are justified in believing that, in his 
words, ‘the Medallist has deserved well of the science.’ ”’ 
Professor Rupert Jones was elected President of the Geologists’ 
Association, filling that office from 7 February, 1879, to 4 February,
