Vol. 56.] ANNIVEESARY MEETING — BAELOW- JAMESON FUND. Xiix 



Cambridge, has shown herself to be a clear-sighted stratigraphist and 

 an astute palaeontologist over a much wider field than might appear, 

 from the mention of the work for which this Award has been made, 

 and that she is, besides, accomplished in other and altogether 

 different branches of culture. 



Miss Elles has asked me to communicate her thanks in the 

 following terms : — 



4 Please convey to the Council of the Geological Society my warmest 

 thanks for the great honour which they have so unexpectedly 

 conferred in awarding to me the Lyell Fund for this year. 



' I have been able to do so little as yet that I am bound to regard 

 it as an incentive to future work, rather than as a reward for any- 

 thing accomplished. I can only add that I will strive my very 

 utmost to make the work which I may do in the future worthy 

 of the confidence which such an Award seems to imply.' 



AWABBS FEOM THE BaELOW-JaMESON FUND. 



The President then handed to Mr. George C. Ceick, A.R.S.M., 

 of the Natural History Museum, a moiety of the Proceeds of the 

 Barlow- Jameson Fund, addressing him as follows : — 



Mr. Ceick, — 



In the course of the last ten years you have made yourself an 

 authority on Fossil Cephalopoda, and have contributed several papers 

 on various branches of this subject to the Geological Magazine and 

 other journals, among which one may note, as of high general 

 interest, your long and well illustrated essay on the muscular 

 attachment of the animal to the shell, published in the Transactions 

 of the Linnean Society in 1898 : a subject which had escaped the 

 attention of palaeontologists until you drew attention to it. 



Your official work at the Natural History Museum has included 

 the making of the List of Types and Figured Specimens of Fossil 

 Cephalopoda and the preparation of vol. iii (in conjunction with 

 Dr. A. H. Foord) of the Catalogue of Fossil Cephalopoda in that 

 Museum, and you have kept up the high character of that public 

 establishment for readiness to impart information to the enquiring 

 geologist.
