The President, Sir Trevor Lawrence, Bart., V.M.H. , said that it 

 would be within the memory of most of the Fellows that, with the assent 

 of Her Most Gracious Majesty the late Queen Victoria, the Society in 

 1897 instituted the Victoria Medal of Honour in Horticulture, and in 

 order to commemorate the sixty years of her reign the honour was 

 limited to sixty recipients living at one time. The Council had since the 

 lamented death of Her Majesty determined to increase the number to 

 sixty-three, and to limit it strictly to that number for all time to come, so 

 as to recall to all future garden lovers the sixty-three years of Queen 

 Victoria's glorious reign. 



Sir Trevor announced that as a result of the increase fi-om sixty to 

 sixty-three, and in consequence of the recent death of one of the 

 Medallists, the Council had had four Medals of Honour to allot, and it 

 now became his very pleasant duty to hand them to their distinguished 

 recipients, Miss Eleanor A. Ormerod, LL.D., Sir George King, K.C.I.E., 

 M.B., LL.D., F.R.S., Mr. George Norman, F.R.H.S., and Mr. James 

 Sweet, F.R.H.S. He-added :— 



Miss Ormerod (fig. 116) was known all the world over for her most 

 patient and painstaking investigations into the life- habits of all insects,
