 mining and metallurgical engineers. Broad Street Avenue, 

 London, E.G. 



There were many other papers, in the recent number of the 

 Journal of the Eoyal Institution of Cornwall, on different 

 branches of science, which were regarded as being of special 

 interest, but Mr, Collins' s literary composition dealing as it did 

 with no less than three of the subjects available in the 

 competition, viz. : geology, mineralogy, and mining, was 

 regarded by the great majority of the Council as the leading 

 treatise issued, under the auspices of the society, during the last 

 triennial period. The valuable record of the observations of 

 another geologist, Mr. Thomas Clark, M.M.S., of Truro, on the 

 Magnetic and other Eocks of Cornwall, was very highly 

 appreciated ; and it was resolved by the Council that his papers 

 should receive honourable mention, and that he should be 

 invited to become an Associate of the Society. 



Sir J. Maclean, F.S.A., the president, had written stating 

 his inability to attend.
