﻿Xlviii PROCEEDINGS OF THE GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY. [May I908, 



your investigations into the composition of sedimentary rocks and 

 also of the work done by you in the Palaeozoic series of South 

 Wales. The Society hopes that you may be encouraged to continue 

 your interesting enquiries into the derivation of the finer sediment 

 in ancient stratified formations — a subject which has hitherto been 

 comparatively little studied, but from the pursuit of which much 

 light may be expected to be thrown on the geographical conditions 

 of former geological periods.
