greatly by your ever-ready help, and am pleased to take this 

 opportunity of acknowledging it. 



Dr. Teall, in reply, said : — 



Mr. PRESIDENT,-— 



To be enrolled on the list of recipients of the Wollaston Medal is, 

 I need hardly say, an honour that I appreciate highly, and the 

 pleasure that I feel is enhanced by the fact that my name will 

 follow very closely upon that of Prof. Eosenbusch, to whom I, in 

 common with all other petrographers, owe so much. I am vividly 

 reminded to-day of a personal visit that Prof. Eosenbusch paid to

 Wollaston Medal, and I am glad of this opportunity of expressing 

 my feelings towards them. 



I thank the Council of the Geological Society for the very great 

 honour that they have conferred upon me, and you, Sir, for the 

 extremely kind words with which you have accompanied the 

 Award.

 J. W. Judd, C.B., E.B.S., for transmission to the recipient, and 

 addressed him in the following words : —

The Murchison Medal has been awarded to Mr. E. J. Dunn, in 

 recognition of his valuable contributions to geological science by 

 the preparation of his geological maps of South Africa, and his 

 investigations concerning the occurrence of gold in Australia. 



Mr. Dunn's career furnishes the world with an admirable proof, 

 were such needed, of the value of the economic application of our 

 science. Naturally attracted to the science, Mr. Dunn fitted him- 

 self for the pursuit of the special branch with which he has been
