voyage to Australia and the Pacific. We observed in our last Report 

 how closely the fame of Hamilton and Petrie is linked with the history 

 of this Academy, the most important researches of both having been 

 first brought forward at its meetings, and first given to the world in its 

 " Transactions." A similar remark may be made respecting our late 

 distinguished fellow-countryman, the Rev. Dr. Hincks, who, though for 

 some years past not a member of our body, cannot be omitted in a Report 

 like the present. All his principal discoveries were announced through 

 the medium of the Academy, and were first published in its " Transac- 

 tions" and " Proceedings." The Cunningham Medal of the Academy 

 was awarded to Dr. Hincks, for his researches in Egyptian and Assyrian 

 Philology.
