President's Address. 



31 



Medal to Professor "Wohler, and that you wilt assure him that his long- 

 continued services to the science of Chemistry command our deep 

 respect. 



A Eoyal Medal has been awarded to Mr. Henry John Carter, P.E.S., 

 for his researches in Paleontology and Zoology, on the Infusoria and 

 Ehizopoda, and the root-cell of the Char a ; but more particularly for his 

 inquiries into the Natural History of the Spongiada?. 



_ Peoeessoe Stokes, 

 In the absence of Mr. Carter, I haye much pleasure in delivering to 

 you, for transmission to him, the Medal awarded to him by the Council 

 of the Eoyal Society, in acknowledgment of. his long-continued and 

 valuable services to Physiology, and more particularly of his creating an 

 almost new science as regards the Spongiadse. 



A Eoyal Medal has been awarded to Professor Thomas Anderson, M.D., 

 for his investigations on the Organic Bases of Dippel's Animal Oil ; on 

 Codeine ; on the Crystallized Constituents of Opium ; on Piperin and on 

 Papaverin; and for his researches in Physiological and Agricultural 

 Chemistry. 



Peoeessoe Stokes, 

 In Dr. Anderson's absence, I request you to state to him that I am 

 happy to deliver to him, through your hands, the Medal which the 

 Council has awarded to him, in recognition of his numerous and valuable 

 contributions to Physiological Chemistry. 



o 



The Eumford Medal has been awarded to Anders Jonas Angstrom, 

 For. Memb. E.S., for his researches on Spectral Analysis. The limitation 

 in time attached to the adjudication of the Eumford Medal compels the 

 Council to connect this award with the latest of M. Angstrom's pub- 

 lished memoirs ; but they are not insensible to the circumstance that this 

 is but the termination of a long and valuable series. 



o 



M. Angstrom's researches generally are described with great clearness 

 in the late President's Address at the Anniversary Meeting of 1870. To 

 the subjects there mentioned I have only to add a mathematical theory of 

 the Conduction of Heat. 



Peoeessoe Millee, 

 Have the goodness to transmit this Medal to M. Angstrom, with the 

 assurance of our regard for himself and of the great value which we place 

 on his researches.
