1 PROCEEDINGS OF TEE GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY. [May 1 9OO, 



Mr. Crick replied in the following words : — 



Mr. President, — 



1 beg to express my sincere thanks to the Council of the Geological 

 Society for the great and unexpected honour that they have conferred 

 upon me ; and to you, Sir, for the kind words with which you have 

 accompanied the Award. Considering the many privileges that 

 pertain to my official connexion with the British Museum, the 

 amount of work which has been done by me is comparatively so 

 small that I regard the Award as an encouragement to continue my 

 work, rather than as a recognition of that already accomplished. 



In presenting to Prof. Theodore Thomas Groom., M.A., D.Sc, the 

 other moiety of the Proceeds of the Barlow-Jameson Fund, the 

 J 'resident addressed him as follows : — 



Professor Groom, — 



While at Cambridge you gave us two papers on palseontological 

 and petrological subjects, and since then we have had from you, 

 together with Mr. Lake, a paper on the Llandovery Rocks of Corwen, 

 in which special reference is made to the structure of the district. 

 Carrying out this line of research, you have contributed two elaborate 

 papers on the Geological Structure of the Malverns, one of which 

 is but lately published ; and in these you have shown your know- 

 ledge of some of the latest methods of stratigraphical research, and 

 your power of applying them to the elucidation of important 

 problems in a somewhat difficult district. I trust that this Award 

 may be an encouragement to you to continue your good work. 



Prof. Groom replied in the following words : — 



Mr. President, — 



The scientific investigator has many and varied sources of pleasure : 

 among the greatest of these must be reckoned the sympathies of 

 his fellow- workers, and the appreciation of his efforts by those best 

 qualified to judge. It is, therefore, with peculiar satisfaction that 

 I understand from your kind words, and from the honour which 

 the Council of the Geological Society have conferred upon me, that 

 my work has met with approval.
