AWARDS OF THE LYELL MEDAL 



UNDER THE CONDITIONS OF THE 



'LYELL GEOLOGICAL FUND,' 



ESTABLISHED UNDER THE WILL AND CODICIL OF THE LATE 



SIR OHAELES LYELL, Bart., F.R.S., F.G.S. 



The Medal ' to be cast in bronze and to be given annually ' (or from time to time) 

 'as a mark of honorary distinction and as an expression on the part of the 

 governing body of the Society that the Medallist (who may be of any country 

 or either sex) has deserved well of the Science,' — 'not less than one third of the 

 annual interest [of the fund] to accompany the Medal, the remaining interest 

 to be given in one or more portions, at the discretion of the Council, for the 

 encouragement of Geology or of any of the allied sciences by which they shall 

 consider Geology to have been most materially advanced, either for travelling 

 expenses or for a memoir or paper published, or in progress, and without 

 reference to the sex or nationality of the author, or the language in which any 

 such memoir or paper may be written.' 



There is a further provision for suspending the award for one year, and in 

 such case for the awarding of a Medal to ' each of two persons who have been 

 jointly engaged in the same exploration in the same country, or perhaps on 

 allied subjects in different countries, the proportion of interest always not being 

 less to each Medal than one third of the annual interest.'
