The following are the awards of the judges appointed to 

 examine the above collections, and to report upon them : — 



For Prize II. — Mr. R. Lloyd Praeger contributes a series 

 of 203 flowering plants, each of which represents a species not 

 included in the 475 plants collected in the preceding year. Thus 

 the entire collection made by Mr. Praeger during the two years 

 embraces 678 species, being very near the limits of the fiora of 

 the district. We recommend that the prize in question be 

 awarded to Mr. Praeger. 



For Prize VIII. — Mr. D. M'Kee submitted an extensive series 

 of Cretaceous fossils, very characteristic of the formation, and 

 representing a great amount of patient work. We have great 

 pleasure in awarding the prize to Mr. M'Kee. 



Prize VII. — For this prize a collection has been put in by 

 Mr. R. Lloyd Praeger. Mr. Praeger's specimens form a fine 

 series of 137 species, from the Post Tertiary beds of Belfast and 

 Larne. The specimens are well displayed, some are rare forms, 

 and a good number are additions to the lists already published 

 for this district. The collection is of the highest merit, and we 

 have pleasure in awarding this prize to Mr. Praeger.
