  in 
  each, 
  the 
  effects 
  not 
  only 
  of 
  sea 
  and 
  storm, 
  but 
  of 
  the 
  very 
  

   zephyrs. 
  

  

  But 
  while 
  my 
  labours 
  are 
  thus 
  rewarded, 
  it 
  must 
  ever 
  be 
  remem- 
  

   bered 
  how 
  much 
  the 
  value 
  of 
  my 
  Pleistocene 
  work 
  has 
  been 
  enhanced 
  

   by 
  the 
  co-operation 
  of 
  my 
  esteemed 
  colleague 
  Mr. 
  E. 
  T. 
  Newton, 
  

   and 
  I 
  gladly 
  welcome 
  this 
  opportunity 
  of 
  publicly 
  expressing 
  my 
  

   deepest 
  obligations 
  and 
  warmest 
  thanks 
  to 
  him 
  for 
  his 
  great 
  and 
  

   kindly 
  assistance 
  during 
  the 
  last 
  sixteen 
  or 
  eighteen 
  years. 
  In 
  

   conclusion, 
  I 
  can 
  only 
  express 
  the 
  hope 
  that 
  the 
  remaining 
  years 
  of 
  

   my 
  life, 
  stimulated 
  anew 
  by 
  this 
  Award, 
  will 
  be 
  spent 
  in 
  the 
  cause 
  

   which 
  I 
  have 
  so 
  much 
  at 
  heart, 
  and 
  that 
  the 
  result 
  of 
  my 
  labours 
  

   may 
  continue 
  not 
  only 
  to 
  give 
  me 
  pleasure, 
  but 
  prove 
  interesting 
  

   and 
  profitable 
  to 
  others. 
  

  

  The 
  President 
  then 
  handed 
  the 
  other 
  moiety 
  of 
  the 
  Balance 
  of 
  

   the 
  Proceeds 
  of 
  the 
  Lyell 
  Geological 
  Fund 
  to 
  Joseph 
  Lomas, 
  Esq., 
  

   addressing 
  him 
  as 
  follows 
  : 
  — 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Lomas, 
  — 
  

  

  The 
  Council 
  of 
  this 
  Society 
  have 
  this 
  year 
  awarded 
  to 
  you 
  a 
  

   moiety 
  of 
  the 
  Proceeds 
  of 
  the 
  Lyell 
  Fund 
  in 
  testimony 
  of 
  the 
  value 
  

   of 
  your 
  work, 
  especially 
  in 
  regard 
  to 
  the 
  Glacial 
  Geology 
  of 
  the 
  

   neighbourhood 
  of 
  Liverpool, 
  and 
  of 
  areas 
  in 
  North 
  Wales, 
  upon 
  which 
  

   you 
  have 
  written 
  no 
  less 
  than 
  ten 
  papers 
  between 
  the 
  years 
  1886 
  

   and 
  1896. 
  To 
  enable 
  you 
  to 
  check 
  the 
  accuracy 
  of 
  your 
  conclusions 
  

   you 
  have 
  also 
  made 
  a 
  study 
  of 
  glaciation 
  in 
  Switzerland 
  and 
  the 
  

   Faerbe. 
  As 
  showing 
  that 
  you 
  have 
  not 
  neglected 
  other 
  branches 
  of 
  

   geology, 
  I 
  may 
  mention 
  also 
  your 
  paper 
  on 
  the 
  Basaltic 
  Dykes 
  of 
  

   Mull 
  in 
  1887, 
  and 
  on 
  Fossil 
  Plants 
  from 
  the 
  Carboniferous 
  in 
  1895. 
  

   Tour 
  recent 
  election 
  as 
  President 
  of 
  the 
  Liverpool 
  Geological 
  Society 
  

   testifies 
  to 
  the 
  esteem 
  in 
  which 
  you 
  are 
  held 
  by 
  your 
  fellow-workers 
  

   in 
  that 
  city, 
  where 
  as 
  a 
  special 
  Lecturer 
  on 
  Geology 
  at 
  University 
  

   College 
  you 
  are 
  responsible 
  for 
  most 
  important 
  geological 
  teaching. 
  

   It 
  is 
  now 
  my 
  privilege 
  to 
  be 
  the 
  means 
  of 
  handing 
  you 
  this 
  Award, 
  

   with 
  the 
  hope 
  that 
  it 
  may 
  aid 
  you 
  in 
  your 
  further 
  researches. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Lomas 
  replied 
  in 
  the 
  following 
  terms 
  : 
  — 
  

  

  Mr. 
  President, 
  — 
  

  

  You 
  have 
  expressed, 
  in 
  much 
  too 
  kind 
  words, 
  your 
  appreciation 
  

   of 
  my 
  work 
  in 
  Glacial 
  Geology. 
  Recognizing 
  that 
  the 
  first 
  duty 
  of
