communications to this Society on the Upper Cretaceous strata of 

 East Anglia, which are recognized as heing of the highest importance. 

 Similar investigations, moreover, were prosecuted by yourself alone 

 with equal success in Lincolnshire and Yorkshire. Your intimate 

 acquaintance with the lithological characters of the various 

 members of the series has materially aided your stratigraphieal 

 and palseontological knowledge in arriving at correct results. It is 

 hoped that this acknowledgment of your services to Geological 

 Science may encourage you to continue your researches. 



Mr. Hill replied as follows : — 

 Mr. President, — 



I desire to convey my heartiest thanks to the Council of this 

 Society for the Award which you have just placed in my hands. 

 My geological work has been undertaken chiefly to fill my spare 

 time, and I feel my reward ample in the pleasure which geological 

 study has given me, and in the kindly reception of my papers at 

 the hands of this Society. The unexpected honour you confer is to 

 me more gratifying than I can well express.

 need hardly say, Sir, that the Award will stimulate me to further 

 efforts in the cause of Geological Science.
