﻿Xlvi PROCEEDINGS OF THE GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY. [May IC)IO r 



that you have rendered to Geology, as well by fostering a love of 

 research among your fellow-citizens in Hull as by your own 

 investigations among the Glacial deposits of East Yorkshire. 



For almost a quarter of a century you have furnished inspiration 

 to an active band of fellow- workers, who have worthily maintained 

 the traditions of East Yorkshire as a centre of geological study. 



To your own investigations we owe a deeper insight into the 

 intricacies of the latest Glacial deposits ; we have learnt to discern 

 in them successive horizons, each distinguished by characteristic 

 boulders derived from different remote localities ; we are able to 

 trace their extension, beyond the limits once assigned to them, 

 even on to the high Chalk Wolds ; and we have gained an 

 acquaintance in detail with the drifts of Kirmington and Beilsbeck, 

 which possess so great an interest on account of their included 

 fossils. 



May you long continue to exercise that Avisely directed energy 

 which has enabled you, in the scanty leisure of a busy life, to 

 achieve so much for our. science. 



AWARDS FROM THE LtELL GEOLOGICAL FUND. 



In presenting one moiety of the Balance of the Proceeds of the 

 Lyell Geological Fund to Mr. Frederick Eichard Cowper Reed, 

 M.A., the President addressed him in the following words : — 



Mr. Reed, — 



A moiety of the Balance of the Proceeds of the Lyell Geological 

 Fund has been awarded to you by the Council, in acknowledgement 

 of the services that you have rendered to Geology and Palaeontology, 

 especially by your researches among the Invertebrate Fossils of 

 Great Britain and Ireland, Africa, and India. 



Since the publication of your first paper in 1892, memoirs and 

 monographs have proceeded from your pen in an unremitting 

 stream. Amidst work so various and voluminous, it is difficult, 

 where all is good, to know what to select for special praise ; but all 

 will acknowledge, as enduring monuments of painstaking industry 

 and exact research, your monographs on the Trilobites of Girvan, 

 the Fauna of the Bokkeveld Beds, the Fossils of the Northern Shan 

 States, and the Cambrian Fossils of Spiti.
