﻿Vol. 64.] ANNIVERSARY MEETING LYELL EUND. xlix 



Chalk has brought to light some interesting indications of flexures 

 and of a considerable erosion of the Chalk before the deposition of the 

 Eeading Beds ; while your papers on the Plateau- and Valley-Gravels 

 in the western part of the Loudon Basin have important bearings 

 on the history of the rivers of that region and on the origin of the 

 present configuration of the ground. We hope that you may be 

 encouraged to continue and extend these observations. 



The President then handed the other moiety of the Balance of 

 the Proceeds of the Lyell Geological Fund, awarded to Mr. Thomas 

 Franklin Sibly, B.Sc, to Prof. E. J. Garwood, M.A., for trans- 

 mission to the recipient, addressing him as follows : — 



Professor Garwood, — 



A second moiety of the Balance of the Proceeds of the Lyell 

 Geological Fund has been assigned to Mr. Sibly, on whose behalf I 

 would ask you to receive it, as a mark of the Council's appreciation 

 of the zeal and ability with which he has applied the method of 

 zonal classification to the Carboniferous Limestone of various districts 

 in England. There still remain many tracts of the British Isles in 

 which that portion of the Palaeozoic series has never yet been 

 worked out in detail. We shall be glad if he will be encouraged 

 to enter some of them, and thus to continue the work which he has 

 already so successfully pursued.
