186 Reports and Proceedings — 



thirty years, during which time you have enriched the literature of this science with 

 no less than sixty papers, published chieily in the Transactions of the Vienna 

 Academy. We have also to take into consideration the important work which, 

 in association with Mr. Gardner, you have accomplished relative to our English 

 'i'ertiary FossU flora contained in the clay beds of Bournemouth and the Isles of 

 Wight and of Sheppey. This recognition of your services will show that your 

 labours are appreciated and valued by British palfeontologists, and may encourage 

 you to the continued prosecution of the work you have undertaken, a work which 

 your extensive acquaintance with Tertiary floras in other lands specially fits you to 

 perform. 



Prof, von Ettingshausen, in reply, said: — Mr. President, — I have to express 

 my best thanks to the Geological Society for the honour conferred on me this day by 

 the Council of the Society, and I am especially grateful to you. Sir, for the kind 

 manner in which you have spoken of my works. If any encouragement was needed 

 to induce me to continue the work upon which I am engaged, it would be found in 

 the kind words which I have received from you to-day. 



The President then read his Anniversary Address, in which he 

 treated of the analysis and distribution of the British Jurassic fossils, 

 with especial reference to their distribution in successive formations, 

 which was elucidated by elaborate tables. Prefaced to the Address 

 were some obituary notices of Fellows and Foreign Members of the 

 Society deceased during the past year, including Sir P. de M. Grey- 

 Egerton, Bart., Mr. E. Mallet, Sir Antonio Brady, Mr. E. W. Binney,

1. " Additional Discoveries of High-level Marine Drifts in North 

 Wales, with Eemarks on Driftless Areas." By D. Mackintosh, Esq., 

 F.G.S. 



The author begins with remarks on the importance of the marine 

 drift-area (part of which he briefly described in his last paper), 

 especially as regards its great extent, and the absence, so far as yet 

 known, of similar high-level drifts (between 1000 and 1350 feet 

 above the sea) in continental Europe, Asia, or North America. He 

 lately traced the drift-area two miles further south than he had done 

 during former exploi'ations, its entire length being little short of 

 five miles. In this pajper he gives a detailed description of the
