  The 
  Council 
  have 
  awarded 
  the 
  Lyell 
  Medal 
  and 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  pro- 
  

   ceeds 
  of 
  the 
  Lyell 
  Fund 
  to 
  Dr. 
  John 
  Lycett, 
  in 
  recognition 
  of 
  his 
  

   patient 
  and 
  long-continued 
  researches 
  on 
  Jurassic 
  palaeontology, 
  

   especially 
  those 
  devoted 
  to 
  the 
  critical 
  history 
  and 
  description 
  of 
  

   the 
  Great-Oolite 
  Mollusca 
  of 
  Minchinhampton, 
  published 
  in 
  the 
  

   Palaeontographical 
  Society's 
  volumes 
  for 
  the 
  years 
  1850-55, 
  in 
  con- 
  

   junction 
  with 
  Professor 
  Morris 
  ; 
  also 
  for 
  his 
  supplementary 
  mono- 
  

   graph 
  in 
  the 
  same 
  publication, 
  " 
  On 
  the 
  Mollusca 
  of 
  the 
  Stonesfield 
  

   Slate, 
  Great 
  Oolite, 
  Forest 
  Marble, 
  and 
  Cornbrash." 
  Besides 
  these, 
  

   Dr. 
  Lycett 
  has 
  written 
  (1871-79) 
  a 
  complete 
  and 
  important 
  mono- 
  

   graph 
  of 
  the 
  British 
  Trigoniae 
  for 
  the 
  same 
  Society, 
  in 
  which 
  he 
  

   describes 
  no 
  less 
  than 
  109 
  species 
  ; 
  this 
  splendid 
  contribution 
  to 
  the 
  

   history 
  of 
  a 
  single 
  genus 
  of 
  Mollusca 
  is 
  probably 
  unsurpassed 
  in 
  any 
  

   language 
  ; 
  and 
  when 
  we 
  know 
  that 
  the 
  authors 
  of 
  all 
  the 
  memoirs 
  

   published 
  by 
  the 
  Palaeontographical 
  Society 
  give 
  their 
  time 
  and 
  

   knowledge 
  without 
  remuneration, 
  we 
  may 
  well 
  reward, 
  as 
  best 
  we 
  

   can, 
  work 
  done 
  so 
  well 
  and 
  so 
  unselfishly 
  contributed. 
  

  

  Dr. 
  Lycett 
  has 
  contributed 
  seventeen 
  papers 
  to 
  the 
  ' 
  Annals 
  and 
  

   Magazine 
  of 
  Natural 
  History,' 
  and 
  fourteen 
  to 
  the 
  ' 
  Transactions 
  of 
  

   the 
  Cotteswold 
  Club,' 
  and 
  has 
  published 
  a 
  Handbook 
  to 
  the 
  Geology 
  

   and 
  Palaeontology 
  of 
  the 
  Cotteswold 
  Hills. 
  

  

  You 
  will 
  convey 
  this 
  Medal 
  and 
  award 
  to 
  Dr. 
  Lycett, 
  and 
  assure 
  

   him 
  that, 
  although 
  he 
  is 
  not 
  a 
  Fellow 
  of 
  this 
  Society, 
  we 
  are 
  never- 
  

   theless 
  not 
  unmindful 
  of 
  tbe 
  great 
  service 
  he 
  has 
  rendered 
  to 
  Jurassic 
  

   palaeontology. 
  

  

  Prof. 
  Jtjdd, 
  in 
  reply, 
  apologized 
  in 
  the 
  name 
  of 
  Dr. 
  Lycett
