P)r. MoELEY Davies, — 



It is recognized by your friends and colleagues that the original 

 -work which you have completed has been accomplished under 

 singular difficulties and in the stress of a very busy life. You 

 have been specially attracted by the series of anomalous deposits, 

 which in various parts of Buckinghamshire and the vicinity come 

 between the Oxford Clay and the Chalk, and several members of 

 the sequence have been elucidated by your careful and detailed 

 rstratigraphical and palaeontological research. You have collected 

 many of these results, and combined them with other information, 

 in your clear and concise summary of the Geology of Buckingham- 

 shire published in ' Geology in the Pield.' You have spent much 

 thought and industry on the preparation of a tectonic map of 

 the British Isles, a work long needed by Geologists, and one which 

 we hope will shortly see the light. You have sympathies also with 

 the geographic side of science, as testified by your work on the 

 ^ Geography of the British Isles,' your admirable little volume 

 on the Geography of Buckinghamshire, and a number of papers 

 dealing with such subjects as lie on the borderland between history 

 ;and geography. You will perhaps also allow me to express here 

 my very warm appreciation of the great value of your work as a 

 colleague at the Imperial College of Science and Technology, and 

 it is this which makes it an exceptionally pleasant duty for me to 

 hand you the Balance of the Murchison Pund during my last year 

 <of office.
