The President then presented a Moiety of the Proceeds of the 

 Barlow-Jameson Fund to Bernard Smith, M.A., addressing him as 

 follows : — 



Mr. Smith, — In awarding to you a part of the Barlow-Jameson Fund the 

 Council have borne in mind that our knowledge of the glacial phenomena of 

 Black Combe is largely due to your researches. In your admirable account 

 of that region every branch of the inquiry has received due consideration ; but 

 your description of channels now for the most part abandoned, though occupied 

 during the Glacial Period by marginal streams or overflows, forms a special 

 feature of your paper. In the course of your official work in Nottinghamshire 

 you have made good use of your opportunities to study the remarkable skerry- 

 bands of the Keuper Marl, and found reason to connect their formation with 

 the variations of the seasons. Lower Palaeozoic rocks also have engaged your 

 attention in Ireland. 



This award has been made in the expectation that you will continue the 

 career so well begun, and will do yet more " for the advancement of geological 

 science ' ' . 



In handing the other Moiety of the Proceeds of the Barlow-Jameson 

 Fund, awarded to John Brooke Scrivenor, M.A,., to Mr. Clement 

 Reid, F.R.S., for transmission to the recipient, the President addressed 

 him in the following words : — 



Mr. Eeid, — In the course of a rapid journey in Patagonia, Mr. Scrivenor 

 found time to make observations on the sedimentary and igneous rocks and on 

 the river-system of that country. From 1902, as a member of the staff of the 

 Geological Survey, he was associated with you in Cornwall, and rendered 

 valuable assistance in preparing the maps and memoirs illustrating the country 

 around Newquay and the Land's End. In 1905 he was selected as Government 

 Geologist in the Federated Malay States, and since his appointment has 

 enriched our knowledge of that difficult region by papers on the mode of 

 occurrence and mining of gold, tin, copper, and other ores, by descriptions of 

 Archaean and igneous rocks, and by researches on the sedimentary sequence. 

 Both in range of subject and in extent of travel he has distinguished himself 

 as one of our leading exponents of the geology of the more distant parts of the 

 Empire. 



In transmitting to him a part of the Barlow- Jameson Fund, will you assure 

 him that we at home watch with interest the work of our colleagues abroad, 

 and will you express on our behalf the hope that he may long preserve the 

 energy necessary for the prosecution of such arduous labours ? 



The President thereafter proceeded to read his Anniversary Address, 

 giving Obituary Notices of several Foreign Members, Foreign Corre- 

 spondents, and Fellows deceased since the last Annual Meeting, 

 including Professor G. J. Brush (elected a Foreign Member in 1894) ; 

 Professor F. Zirkel (el. 1880) ; Professor F. A. Forel (elected a Foreign 

 Correspondent in 1910); Professor K. von Krustshov (el. 1895); 

 Professor E. von Koken (el. 1900) ; Professor R. S. Tarr (el. 1909); 

 J. Dickinson (elected a Fellow in 1842); Dr. R. H. Traquair (el. 

 1874)-; R. Bruce Foote (el. 1867); J. Parker (el. 1867); Captain 

 A. W. Stiffe (el. 1874); Dr. J. Morison (el. 1887); W. H. Pickering 

 (el. 1907); Sir Charles Whitehead (el. 1872); and Dr. J. S. Phene 

 (el. 1887). 



As the main object of his Address, the President discussed the form 

 of that part of the Palaeozoic platform which underlies the Secondary 

 rocks of tiie South-East of England. Upwards of forty borings have 

 been carried down to it, and have provided sufficient evidence for the 

 construction of a contoured map of parts of it. Two regions are still
