Geological Survey of Queensland, 
George-street, Brisbane, 
3r ecember, 1894, 
The Hon. Secretaries, Royal Society of N.S. Wales, Sydney. 
Gentlemen—Your announcement, (dated 14th ult.), that the Council 
of the Royal Society of New South Wales had awarded me the Clarke 
Memorial Medal, awaited me on my return from a journey in the interior, 
and added to my welcome home a satisfaction for which I was entirely 
unprepared. 
This mark of appreciation of my part in the study of the geological 
history of Australia is peculiarly grateful to my feelings, both on account 
of the authority from which it emanates and of the connection of my 
name with that of the revered geologist in whose memory the distinction 
was founded ; and, permit me to say that if anything could heighten the 
pleasure with which I receive the announcement, it is the fact that my 
colleague and friend Mr. Robert Etheridge Junior, is to share the honour 
conferred by the Society. 
In conveying my sincere thanks to the Council, be good enough to 
assure them that the medal will be prized not merely as a recognition of 
past service, but as an encouragement to renewed effort during the 
remainder of my career. 
I am gentlemen, yours very truly, 
ROBERT L. JACK.
