recommend the prize to be awarded Dr. S. M. Malcomson, 

 whose preparations are excellent in every respect, and are 

 models of neatness and manipulative skill. The collection of 

 rock sections submitted by Mr. M'Kee display the patience and 

 research characteristic of a true Naturalist, and are highly 

 commendable.

Prize III. — For this prize there are two competitors. Dr. 

 Malcomson has sent in a set of exceedingly well mounted 

 mosses numbering about 90 species, and Rev. H. W. Lett sends 

 in a series which represents about 120 species. Both collec- 

 tions are highly creditable, but the latter being the more 

 numerous, and including some very rare species, the prize is 

 accordingly awarded to Mr. Lett.

Prize XIL — This prize is awarded to Mr. Charles Bulla for 

 a set of fossils from the Ballypallady leaf beds. Mr. Bulla's col- 

 lection includes a fern, some leaves of dicotyledons, and a large 

 number of specimens of coniferae, representing foliage, fruit, and 

 stems. We regard the collection as fairly well illustrating this 

 locally difficult branch of Palaeontology, and we award the prize 

 accordingly.

 Andrew has sent to me, from time to time, a total of 178 dis 

 tinct species of fungi, and the collection is well entitled to the 

 prize.
