Vol. 69.] ANNIVERSARY MEETING — BARLOW- JAMESON FUND. liii 



has received due consideration ; but your description of channels 

 now for the most part abandoned, though occupied during the Glacial 

 Period by marginal streams or overflows, forms a special feature of 

 your paper. In the course of your official work in Nottingham- 

 shire you made good use of your opportunities to study the remark- 

 able skerry-bands of the Keuper Marl, and found reason to connect 

 their formation with the variations of the seasons. Lower Palaeo- 

 zoic rocks also have engaged your attention in Ireland. 



This Award has been made in the expectation that you will 

 continue the career so well begun, and will do yet more < for the 

 advancement of Geological Science/ 



In handing the other moiety of the Proceeds of the Barlow- 

 Jameson Fund, awarded to John Brooke Scrivenor, M.A., to 

 Mr. Clement Reid, F.R.S., for transmission to the recipient, the 

 President addressed him in the following words : — 



Mr. Reid, — 



In the course of a rapid journey in Patagonia, Mr. Scrivenor 

 found time to make observations on the sedimentary and igneous 

 rocks and on the river-system of that country. From 1902, as a 

 member of the staff of the Geological Survey, he was associated 

 with you in Cornwall, and rendered valuable assistance in preparing 

 the maps and memoirs illustrating the country around Newquay 

 and the Land's End. In 1905 he was selected as Government 

 Geologist in the Federated Malay States, and since his appointment 

 has enriched our knowledge of that difficult region by papers on 

 the mode of occurrence and mining of gold, tin, copper, and other 

 ores, by descriptions of Archaean and igneous rocks, and by re- 

 searches on the sedimentary sequence. Both in range of subject 

 and in extent of travel he has distinguished himself as one of our 

 leading exponents of the geology of the more distant parts of the 

 Empire. 



In transmitting to him a part of the Barlow-Jameson Fund, will 

 you assure him that we at home watch with interest the work of 

 our colleagues abroad, and will you express on our behalf the hope 

 that he may long preserve the energy necessary for the prosecution 

 of such arduous labours ?
