34 PROCEEDINGS OE THE GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY. 



Professor Seelet, in reply, said : — 

 Mr. President, — 



'No -words of mine could adequately reflect my sense of the kind 

 words and kind feelings to which you have given expression. I 

 must, however, say that the honour of this award is one for which 

 I am sincerely grateful. It is needless now to say anything in 

 admiration of LyeU, but I may give utterance to a sense of personal 

 obligation by saying that he has always seemed to me the greatest 

 teacher of our science. In receiving the Medal, however, which is 

 associated with his name, I cannot but be conscious how far short 

 what I have done has fallen of my eflPorts and aspirations, and that 

 more work than I can hope to do should have been before you in 

 justification. With regard to the new edition of Phillips's Geology, 

 I would say that that work, founded on the necessities of my own 

 teaching, was undertaken to do honour to the memory of my old 

 friend, Professor John Phillips ; but it would have been more imper- 

 fectly done without the important help which I found in your own 

 writings. I shall find in this award a stimulus to future work, 

 which I hope may give results more worthy of recognition than the 

 work to which you have referred. 



Award of the Ltell Geological Etjnd. 



The President then handed the Balance of the proceeds of the 

 Lyell Geological Pund to Mr. J. J. H. Teall, P.G.S., for transmission 

 to Mr. A. J. Jt7E3;s -Browne, F.G.S., and addressed him as follows : — 



Mr. Teall, — 



The balance of the Lyell Donation Pund has been awarded to 

 Mr. A. J. Jukes-Browne in recognition of the excellent work that he 

 has done on the Cretaceous formation and on Glacial geology, and 

 to aid him in further researches. His papers on the Cambridge 

 Greensand cleared up many difficulties connected with that in- 

 teresting formation ; and in his Sedgwick prize essay on the Post- 

 tertiary deposits of Cambridgeshire he commenced those investi- 

 gations which have since brought us more than one valuable 

 contribution on glacial and later deposits. You can tell him that 

 his old college tutor feels a little pardonable pride and much real 

 pleasure in being the instrument of placing this award in your 

 hands for transmission to him. 



Mr. Teall, in reply, expressed his regret that Mr. Jitkes-Browne 

 was prevented by domestic anxieties from being present, and read 

 an extract from a letter received from him. In this Mr. Jtjkes- 

 Browne said : —
