and to their successors for the time being, I give the sum of [&c.,] 

 the interest thereon to accumulate to provide Dies, and in the 

 third year next after the purchase of the said Dies, and in 

 every successive third year, to purchase one Gold Medal of the 

 value of Ten Guineas at the least to be struck from the said 

 Dies. And I further direct that the said Triennial Gold Medal 

 shall be awarded to the person who shall, in the opinion of the 

 said Officers and Council, for the time being, or of the majority 

 of them present at a Meeting convened for the purpose, have 

 contributed the best treatise or paper on the 



GEOLOGY, 



MINEEALOGY, 



MINING OPEEATIONS, 



BOTANY, 



ORNITHOLOGY, ^""^ Cornwall. 



ICHTHYOLOGY, 



CONCHOLOGY, or 



ANTIQUITIES. 



(but on no other subject whatsoever) published in any Journal, 

 Proceedings or Transactions of the said Institution during the 

 three years next preceding the date of such award. 



And I further direct that no award shall be made except at 

 a Meeting regularly convened by a notice in writing issued by 

 the Secretaries, stating the object of such Meeting, and to be 

 delivered to the President, Vice-Presidents, Treasurer, and other 

 members of the Council, for the time being, and to every of them 

 at least seven days previous to the holding of such Meeting ; 

 and unless seven at least of the Officers and Members of the 

 Council shall be present at such Meeting." Provision is then 

 made for a casting vote in cases of equality, and for further 

 Meetings if any should prove abortive. 



Writers at a distance, who are interested in matters relating 

 to Cornwall, should not overlook this opportunity, as any well- 

 written paper on one of the subjects specified (if accepted for 

 publication by the Council) may secure the Medal for its author.
