Yol. 52.] ANNIVEESAEY MEETING BAELOW- JAMESON ETJND. xlix 



Mr. Andeews, in reply, said : — 



Mr. Peesident, — 



I wish to express my sincere thanks to the Council for the great 

 honour that they have done me, and to you, Sir, for the altogether too 

 kind remarks that you have made. It was always my earnest desire 

 to study the structure of animals, but in my wildest dreams I never 

 hoped to have such opportunities as I now enjoy at the Natural 

 History Museum, and I feel continually a sense of responsibility 

 and fear lest I should prove unequal to the task which lies before 

 me. Having now received this Award, I am still further bound in 

 honour to do my utmost to justify it, and to fulfil as far as possible 

 the expectations that you have expressed. 



AwAED OF THE BaELOW-JaMESON FUND. 



In handing a moiety of the Barlow-Jameson Fund to Dr. G. J. 

 Hinde, F.G.S. (for transmission to Joseph Weight, Esq., F.G.S., of 

 Belfast), the President addressed him as follows : — 



Dr. Hinde, — 



The Council have awarded the sum of Twenty Pounds from the 

 Barlow-Jameson Fund to Mr. Joseph "Wright, in recognition of the 

 valuable services that he has rendered to the Palaeontology, not 

 only of the Carboniferous rocks in the South, but of the Cretaceous 

 and Post-Tertiary deposits in the North of Ireland, and the Glacial 

 deposits there, and in Scotland. 



Mr. Wright is the author of numerous papers in the Transactions 

 of the Belfast Naturalists' Field-Club, on the Irish Liassic and 

 Cretaceous Foraminifera and other Microzoa ; he has also prepared 

 and published many lists of Foraminifera from the Scottish and Irish 

 Boulder-Clay and other post-Tertiary deposits. 



He has done much good work, extending over many years, when 

 resident in the South of Ireland, in connexion with the fossils of 

 the Carboniferous Limestone, and both as regards these, and the 

 newer deposits of the North, his specimens have been always 

 available to any one engaged in writing on the fossils. To 

 Davidson, Kupert Jones, Holl, Brady, myself, and others Joseph 

 Wright's cabinet was ever accessible and his specimens were freely 

 lent for study.
