 of the Lyell Geological Fund to you, in recognition of your valuable 

 contributions to our knowledge of Paleobotany. 



In addition to the papers which you have contributed to this 

 Society, I would specially refer to the paper on < The Fossil Flora of 

 the Culm-Measures of North- West Devon,' printed in the Philoso- 

 phical Transactions of the Royal Society. 



I hope that you will regard this Award as an encouragement to 

 further work. Let me assure you of the pleasure which it gives 

 me to hand it to a former pupil and present colleague.

 President addressed him as follows : — 



Mr. Walcot Gibson, — 



A moiety of the Balance of the Proceeds of the Lyell Geological 

 Fund is awarded to you, as an acknowledgment of the valuable 

 work done by you among the Carboniferous and other strata of the 

 Midland Counties, as well as among the auriferous and associated 

 rocks of South Africa, and as an encouragement to further research. 



While pursuing your calling as a Geological Surveyor, you 

 have been ever on the alert to utilize what has been written con- 

 cerning the rocks which you mapped, and also to record your own 

 observations, with results beneficial alike to the Survey and to 

 the Science.
