Indian Trias ; the Nautilidae and Gasteropoda are in manuscript 

 completed, and the Pelecypoda will soon be commenced. I expect 

 to finish the whole by the end of this year. 



' The Medal wiU give me a new impulse to go on with the work. 

 .... So I beg you to receive it on my behalf and to express my most 

 hearty thanks to the Society for it.' 



It only remains for me, Sir, to thank you on behalf of Dr. Waagen 

 for having added to the value of the Medal by the manner in which 

 you have spoken of his services to science. 



Award of the Lyell Geological Pund. 



In presenting to Mr. H. Woods, M.A., F.G.S., a moiety of the 

 Balance of the Proceeds of the Lyell Geological Pund, the President 

 addressed him as follows : — 



Mr. Woods, — 



The Geological Society has already received some important com- 

 munications from you, and I hope that these will be followed by 

 many others. In your paper on the Igneous Rocks of the I^eigh- 

 bourhood of Builth you have successfully applied not only your 

 petrological knowledge, but also your palaeontological experience 

 in working out the stratigraphy of an interesting and complicated 

 region ; and your papers on the Fossils of the Middle Chalk are 

 very valuable contributions to the study of the Pauna of the British 

 Cretaceous Eocks. Your ' Catalogue of Type Possils in the 

 Woodwardian Museum ' is indispensable to all working palaeonto- 

 logists ; and your ' Elementary Palaeontology,' written primarily for 

 Cambridge students, has been found so useful that it is now, I 

 understand, adopted as a text- book, not only in many places in 

 Britain, but also in the Colonies and in America. I have much 

 pleasure in handing to you this Award on behalf of the Council of 

 the Geological Society, in testimony of their appreciation of your 

 past work, and in the hope that it may be of some aid to you in 

 your future labours. 



Mr. Woods, in reply, said :—
