 words : — 



Dr. Thomas, — 



In awarding a moiety of the Lyell Fund to Mr. E. S. Pinfold 

 the Council desires to mark its appreciation of the value of his 

 geological work in Burmah and India. During the course of his 

 duties in economic research in the oil-fields, he has kept the purely 

 scientific interest of his investigations steadily in view, as well as 

 their commercial application. He has done much to clear up the 

 stratigraphy of the Tertiary strata of Upper Burmah, and his con- 

 tribution to our knowledge of the structure and stratigraphy of 

 the North- West Punjab has been deemed of sufficient importance 

 to he published in the Records of the Geological Survey of India. 



The Council hopes that this Award nvdj serve, not only as a 

 recognition, hutalso as a stimulus to him to continue his geological 

 researches.
