ADDRESS ON T SECTION BETWEEN GEOLOGY AND ARCH- 
AEOLOGY. IE REV. W. C. LUKIS, M.A., F.S.A. 
We are met togv - r to welcome a society whose noble President 
is in a far distant la id, occupying- the highest post of distinction and 
trust that can bo conferred by Her Majesty upon one of her 
subjects. The citizens of Ripon, and residents in the neighbour- 
hood, rejoice to see him discharging the responsible duties of his 
high Vice-regal office with that energy and unremitting attention 
to public business, which are a strongly marked feature in his 
character ; but if any one has reason to regret that his Lordship is 
in India, and not in this room to-day, it is myself. 
Between forty and fifty years ago I spent a most enjoyable 
day in an aquatic excursion from Cambridge down the sedgy river 
Cam as far as Ely, in company with four gentlemen, whose names 
prob oly not one person in this room is ignorant of, and with one or 
more of whom some here present have had intimate personal 
acquaintance. With that too-short day my geological study, practi- 
cally applied, may be said to have begun and ended. These four 
gentlemen were Professors Sedgwick, Phillips, Henslow, and Ansted. 
It was a day of my Cambridge life which I have always cherished 
in memory.
