ANNIVEESART MEETING BARLOW-JAMESOIS" FUISD. 35 



In presenting the other half of the Balance of the proceeds of the 

 Lyell Geological Pund to Mr. Edwin A. Walford, F.G.S., the 

 President addressed him as follows : — 



Mr. Walford, — 

 The Council has awarded you the other moiety of the Lyell Fund 

 in recognition of the great merit of your studies among the Lias and 

 Lower Oolites and your contributions to our knowledge of the 

 Trigonioe and Polyzoa of the Jurassic rocks. We hope that you will 

 accept this Award as an aid and stimulant to further research, and 

 that we may bave the pleasure and profit of continuing to receive 

 the results of your labours. 



Mr. Walford, in reply, said : — 



Mr. President, — 

 I thank you for this recognition of such work as I have done. 

 My stratigraphical labours have consisted principally in filling in the 

 details of the broad outlines so well laid down by the officers of the 

 Geological Survey. In palaeontology my work amongst the Mollusca 

 and Bryozoa has been done in the few intervals of leisure snatched 

 from a busy business life. I wish that I had been able to accomplish 

 more, for what I have done is but evidence of what I would wish 

 to do. 



Award of the Barlow-Jameson Fund. 



The President then handed the Proceeds of the Barlow-Jameson 

 Fund, awarded to Prof. C. Mater-Eymar of Ziirich, to Dr. W. T. 

 Blanford, F.R.S., addressing him as follows : — 



Dr. Blanford, — 

 In asking you to be so good as to transmit to Prof. Mayer-Eymar 

 a donation from the Barlow-Jameson Fund, awarded to him by the 

 Council, I hope that you will convey to him an expression of the 

 interest we take in the work which he is now carrying on so 

 vigorously in Egypt, and of our desire to aid him in it. His previous 

 training in the palaeontology of the Cretaceous and Tertiary rocks of 

 Switzerland, France, and Italy eminently qualified him for the task 

 to which he is now devoting himself, and in which we sincerely wish 

 him success.
