PROCEEDINGS OF THE GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY. [May 1 9 II, 



obtaining a new Cambrian sub-fauna and an array of new genera 

 and species of trilobites. You have not only made important 

 contributions to what was hitherto known of the local succession 

 of the subdivisions of those ancient rocks, but you have by your 

 figures and descriptions added much to our previous knowledge 

 of their fossils. It is appropriate that the Murchison Fund should 

 pass into ' Siluria ' and to one working on Older Palaeozoic rocks, 

 as a token of the good-will of your fellow-workers, a mark of their 

 pleasure in your achievement, and an expression of their confidence 

 in your future work. 



Award from the Lyell Geological Fund. 



The President then presented to Dr. Charles Gilbert Cullis, 

 F.G.S., the Balance of the Proceeds of the Lyell Geological Fund, 

 addressing him as follows : — 



Dr. Cullis, — 



I need hardly express the pleasure that it gives me to hand 

 the Balance of the Lyell Fund to a colleague for whom I have so 

 much respect, and in whose judgment and ability I place so much 

 confidence. You are able to look back upon a great number of 

 students who have passed out into the world bearing the marks 

 of your training, and you have reason to be proud of the work 

 that they are doing. Your original contribution to the study of the 

 core of the Funafuti Boring, with its careful record and explanation 

 of the occurrence of calcite, aragonite, and dolomite therein ; your 

 work on the Forest of Dean and May Hill ; and your discovery of 

 the occurrence of dolomite crystals in the Keuper Marls, have all 

 been the fruit of painstaking research, with the gratifying result 

 of forwarding the researches of others. All those who have heard 

 you lecture on your own work or on other geological subjects, 

 have been greatly impressed by your careful choice of matter, the 

 charm of your style, and the lucidity of your expression. Certainly 

 this Award is given to one by whom ' Geology has been materially 

 advanced.'
