 proposed by Dr. Evans, seconded by Mr. Bauerman, and carried 

 unanimously : —

 the President on the honour that it had pleased Her Majesty 

 to confer upon him. No one who knew him could fail to

 science in the person of their President and the Head of the 

 Geological Survey of the United Kingdom.
