Mr. Beomehead, — 



The Council has awarded to you a moiety of the Balance of the 

 Proceeds of the Lyell Geological Fund in recognition of your 

 geological work, j&rst on the gi-anite of Dartmoor, later in the 

 London district, where you devoted much attention to t-lucidating 

 the development of the Thames and its tributaries. After an 

 interval, devoted to less pacific activities, you haYC had put on you 

 the duty of watching the progress of the search for oil in Derby- 

 shire, and of investigating the resources of that and other districts 

 in oil-shales and caunels. In all this you have shown both capacity 

 and devotion, and haYc added materially to the sum of geological 

 knowledge, in acknowledgment of which, and as an encourage- 

 ment to further activity, this recognition has been awarded.
