30 PROCEEDINGS OF THE GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY. 
AWARD OF THE WoLLAston MeEpAt. 
In presenting the Wollaston Gold Medal to Prof. A. Gaupry, 
F.M.G.S., the President addressed him as follows :— 
Professor GAUDRY,— 
The Council of the Geological Society has awarded you the 
Wollaston Medal in recognition of the value of your paleontological 
researches and the important scientific generalizations you have 
deduced from long and laborious observations. The numerous papers 
on topographical geology and on paleontology you have contributed 
during the past 30 years, your important ‘ Recherches Scientifiques 
en Orient entreprises par les ordres du Gouvernement pendant les 
années 1853-1854,’ your ‘Animaux fossiles et géologie de l’ Attique,’ 
and, lastly, your work ‘ Les Enchainements du monde animal dans les 
temps géologiques,’ have made your name so familiar, wherever 
our branch of natural science is cultivated, that in receiving you, 
we feel we are not receiving a stranger, but a scientific brother, and 
one who, by his labours and singleness of aim, has achieved a position 
as a paleontologist such as few can hope to attain. Personally, it 
affords me great and sincere pleasure that it has fallen to my lot to 
hand you this Medal, which, by the consent of all, has never been 
more worthily bestowed. 
Professor Gaupry, in reply, said :— 
Mr. PRESIDENT,— | 
_I regret much that I speak English too imperfectly to express 
well the sentiments which I feel in my heart. I can only say that 
my pleasure in receiving the Wollaston Medal is in proportion to my 
admiration for the labours of the illustrious Geological Society of 
London and to my affection for many of its Fellows. I beg the 
Geological Society and its distinguished President to accept- my 
best thanks.

‘¢ Wollaston Donation Fund,” in recognition of the value of your 
researches amongst the Pleistocene Mammalia of Great Britain, and
