your contributions to our knowledge of the Palaeozoic rocks 

 of Ireland and of the geology of the Bristol district, and to 

 encourage you in further work. During the past eight years the 

 Society has received from you a series of important papers which 

 have appeared in its Quarterly Journal. In association with 

 Mr. Lake you presented some interesting facts in regard to the 

 Lingul a-Flags of the Dolgelly district. In conjunction with 

 Mr. Gardiner you have carried out a series of researches among the 

 Silurian rocks of the South-East and of the West of Ireland, and 

 have thrown fresh light on their associated volcanic rocks. Together 

 with Prof. Lloyd Morgan, you have worked out the geology of the 

 Tortworth district, and have cleared up the interesting history of 

 its volcanic eruptions ; while you have more recently studied the 

 Carboniferous volcanic rocks of the neighbourhood of Weston-super- 

 Mare. In addition to all these geological undertakings you are 

 still further widening the range of your studies by continuing the 

 Palaeontographical Society's Memoir on the Pleistocene Mammalia. 

 We cordially hope that many long years of active scientific work 

 are in store for you, and that you will continue to enrich our 

 Quarterly Journal with the results of your researches. 



In handing the other moiety of the Balance of the Proceeds of the 

 Lyell Geological Fund, awarded to Dr. Charles Alfred Matley, to 

 Prof. W. W. Watts, M.A., M.Sc, Sec.G.S., for transmission to the 

 recipient, the Chairman addressed him as follows : — 



Prof. Watts, — 



The other moiety of the Lyell Pund has by the Council been assigned 

 to Dr. Matley, as an acknowledgment of the value of his work in 

 elucidating the geology of Anglesey, and to encourage him in 

 further work. The complicated structure of that part of North 

 Wales has long been recognized, but the nature and extent of the 

 complication have only been realized in recent years, since more 

 enlarged and accurate views of geological tectonics have been 

 reached. It would be rash to assert that all the difficulties have 

 been cleared away, but Dr. Matley has made a notable forward step 

 in removing them. Besides his work in Anglesey he has devoted
