36 PROCEEDINGS OF THE GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY. 
Glacial Period,” “‘ The Influence of the Gulf Stream,” “The Motion 
of Glaciers,” ‘“* Ocean Currents,” and “ The Transport of Boulders,” 
by their suggestiveness have deservedly attracted much attention. ~ 
In forwarding to Dr. Croll this award, the Council desires you to 
express the hope that it may assist him in continuing these lines of 
research. 
Professor Bonney, in reply, said :— 
Mr, PREsIDENT, — 
I have been charged by Dr. J. Croll to express to the Society his 
regret that his weak health and the great distance at which he resides 
prevent him from being present in person to-day to receive this 
award. He desires me to express his deep sense of the honour 
which is done to him in this renewed mark of the appreciation of 
his work, and he gives us the cheering news that though still at 
times suffering, he is now able to do a little work, a proof of which, 
in a paper on Mr. Wallace’s remarks on the theory of Climate, 
reached me yesterday. Deeply though I regret Dr. Croll’s absence, 
I feel honoured in representing a man who has done such original 
suggestive and valuable work. 
In handing to Professor Srrtzy, F.R.S., a second portion of the 
proceeds of the Barlow-Jameson Fund for transmission to Professor 
Lxo Lesquerrvx, F.C.G.S., the Presment spoke as follows :— 
Professor SEELEY, — 
The Council has awarded to Professor Leo Lesquereux the sum 
of £20 from the proceeds of the Barlow-Jameson Fund, in recog- 
nition of the value of his researches into the Palzo-botany of North 
America, and to aid him in further investigations of a similar kind. 
Professor Lesquereux’s ‘‘ Contributions to the Fossil Cretaceous 
and Tertiary Flora of the Western Territories,” published in the 
‘Reports of the United States Geological Survey,’ are works which, 
for their matter, typography and illustrations leave nothing to 
desire. In transmitting this award to Professor Lesquereux, you 
will convey to him the hopes of the Council that it may assist 
him in prosecuting further investigations in the difficult branch of 
research in which he has already accomplished so much. 
Professor SEELEY, in reply, said :— 
Mr. PREesmDENT,— 
I feel much honoured in receiving this award on behalf of 
Professor Lesquereux. His valuable researches not only contribute 
systematic descriptions of the American Secondary and Tertiary 
floras, but furnish almost the only data for comparing those floras 
with the plant life from similar strata on this side of the Atlantic. 
All Professor Lesquereux’s work is marked by such exactness and 
care, that I am glad we are thus able to honour it, and offer 
assistance in its progress.
