In presenting to Mr. W. Jerome Harrison, F.G.S., a grant from" 

 the Proceeds of the Barlow- Jameson rund, the President addressed 

 him as follows : — 



Mr. Harrison, — 



In awarding to you a grant from the Parlow-Jameson Fund, the 

 Council recognize the value of your endeavours to spread a know- 

 ledge of Geology by the compilation and publication of hand-books 

 to the Geology of the Counties in England and AYales. They also 

 appreciate your geological researches in the Midland Counties, and 

 trust that the award now made may be of use to you in the prose- 

 cution of future efforts to extend geological knowledge. 



Mr. Harrison, in reply, said : — 



Mr. President, — 



In thankiDg the Council for the honour they have conferred upon 

 me, I can only say that their award was as unexpected as it was 

 welcome. The daily tasks of a necessarily busy life have left me 

 but little time for original research, and I have done — not what I 

 would, but what I could. This recognition of my labours, and the 

 kind words with which you have accompanied it, will spur me on to 

 increased endeavours in those studies which the Geological Society 

 was established to promote.
