The Balance of the Proceeds of the Wollaston Donation Fund 

 has been awarded to you by the Council in recognition of the value 

 of your investigations into the volcanic rocks of the Carboniferous 

 System of Scotland and the structure of the Glen Coe area. After 

 carrying out successful investigations on the geology of East 

 Lothian, especially in relation to the Glacial phenomena, the 

 volcanic rocks, and the Coal Measures of that district, you, in your 

 paper written conjointly with Mr. C. T. Clough and Mr. H. B. 

 Maufe on the Caldron Subsidence of Glen Coe, analysed with great 

 skill a structure of remarkable complexity, and succeeded in tracing 

 the successive stages of its formation, thus obtaining results which 

 have an important bearing on some of the obscurer problems of
