X ' PROCEEDINGS OF THE GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY. [May 1 895, 



number of this annual Record will appear concurrently with the 

 May number of the Quarterly Journal ; but it is intended that in 

 future years the annual Record shall be distributed at the same time 

 as the February number of the Journal. 



The Council had hoped that the Index to the first fifty volumes- 

 of the Quarterly Journal would be issued to the Fellows during the 

 present year ; but the work has proved arduous beyond anticipation^ 

 and it is now evident that the Index cannot be completed until 1896. 

 Every effort, however, will be made to expedite the work, so as to 

 place the Index as soon as may be in the hands of the Fellows. 



The following awards of Medals and Memorial Funds have been 

 made by the Council : —
