Vol. 52.] ANNIVERSARY MEETING BARLOW-JAMESON FUND. H 



much to elucidate the obscure plant-remains from the Silurian rocks 

 of that locality. 



In the Rhsetic and Triassic strata he found and fixed the exact 

 horizon of certain fossils new to the district, while in the latter he 

 made an interesting discovery of grains of gold. His intimate and 

 accurate knowledge of the Cardiff area proved of great service to 

 Geologists at the time when the British Association held its meeting in 

 that town. Indeed few Geologists have worked in the neighbourhood 

 of Cardiff without being indebted to him for assistance. 



I have much pleasure in handing you this Award for transmission 

 to Mr. Storrie. 



Mr. Strahan, in reply, said : — 

 Mr. President, — 



It will be a great pleasure to me to forward this Award to 

 Mr. Storrie. The pages of our Journal testify to the value of the 

 aid that he has rendered to many Fellows of the Society. I have 

 myself been indebted to him for most valuable assistance in the 

 geological mapping of the neighbourhood of Cardiff. Mr. Storrie 

 writes to me : — 



' I regret that it will not be in my power to attend personally 

 to thank the President and Council for the great honour that they 

 have done me. 



' I am afraid that up to now I have not done enough to warrant 

 my selection, but if ever I am able in future to do anything in the 

 way of original work I shall be very anxious to justify this choice 

 and give my whole mind to the accomplishment of the best work 

 possible. 



' You will, I hope, convey in better words than I can the extreme 

 gratitude which I feel for the Award.'
