344 PBESENTATION OF THE HENWOOD MEDAL. 



quadrate camps in the interior with the coast. The two main 

 entrenchments, at Tregear, near Bodmin, and at Bossens, in 

 St. Erth, are first elaborately proved by their shape and contents 

 to be Koman, then faint indications are pursued to detect the 

 affiliated camps, which kept up the communications with the 

 coast, so that the original plan of operations is made clear. 

 This clue once found unravels all the rest, 

 The prospect clears, and Wharton stands confest. — Pope. 



The vicinity of British round camps is thereby explained, and 

 the Cornish nomenclature of the sites elucidated. Similar working 

 hypotheses may hereafter be framed to account for other groups 

 of camps, notably those which occur in the Grampound district. 



In conclusion Mr. JefTery noticed generally, throughout the 

 memoir, the wealth of pertinent antiquarian information, which 

 has been culled both from within and from without the county, 

 alike from the older as from the newer authorities, and marshalled 

 in good literary form to illustrate the recent discoveries in local 

 archaeology. As Sir Warington Smyth stated at Plymouth, 

 before the British Association, that all students of the mineralogy 

 of Cornwall must master the works of Mr. Henwood and Sir 

 Henry De la Beche, so he, the speaker, would advise students of 

 the recent development of Cornish Archaeology, to familiarise 

 themselves with the writings of Sir John Maclean and Mr. Iago, 

 of which the present prize-essay is a conspicuous specimen. 



He felt great pleasure in conferring, in the name of the 

 Society, the first Henwood Cold Medal on Mr. Iago. 



The Rev. W. Iago, in accepting the medal, thanked all 

 present for the honor conferred on him. It gave him additional 

 pleasure to receive it from so eminent a scientist as the 

 Chairman — Mr. Jeffery having been greatly distinguished at 

 Cambridge in Mathematics, Hebrew and Classics. His elucid- 

 ation of difficult problems was still being continued. The 

 Archbishop, when President, spoke of him as a high authority. 



With reference to Archaeology, Mr. Iago stated that Cornish 

 antiquities had long been his favourite study. Bronze and silver 

 medals had been awarded him for other subjects, and now this 

 gold medal would complete the series. President Henwood, the 

 deceased donor, had been his esteemed friend, therefore with the 

 medal were many pleasant associations.
