By A. Tylor, Esq., F.G.S. [Ab~r~t *.] The writer adduced evidence by measured sections and drawings to show that the Quaternary gravels were deposited rather in a wet or pluvial than in a snowy or Glacial period. He thought the denuding action of springs and the alternate action of rain and frost had been neglected. He considered Agassiz and other writers had overlooked the previous writings of Playfair, to whom he referred. Playfair explained the action of land glaciers as geological agents in 180'2. The rainfall of Westmoreland, Switzerland, and the MiRsissippi valley were compared in summer and winter, to prove that floods were not necessarily greater from land covered with snow thau A fuller report is published in the ~Oeolo~cal Magazine' for February 1876, p, 90.

from land covered with trees and vegetation when height above the sea and local circumstances were taken int5 consideration. Yr. Dana's "Great Glacier," whose melting was to supply a Quaternary river, Mississippi, 50 miles wide, would require a supply equal to 625 times the present rainfall to fill it. The melting of snow was assumed to be of such proportions by m~:~.J~ ~y~ters as to equal the d6bs of older geologists. The high Swiss mountains pointed to a greater diminution of snow on high ground in the Glacial period: and he believed the clouds then discharged near the sea-level, so that the mass of snow and ice was at low levels, the vapour having been abstracted previously from the air. It appears that in Greenland in the 80th parallel, according to NordenskiSld, near the sea in summer there is no snow on the ground on cliffs 1000 or 1500 feet above the sea. Open Water at the poles must depend upon the abstraction of the vapour from the atmosphere at lower latitudes; and probably in the Glacial period the ice-cap was thickest at the 70th parallel of latitude. Yr. Tyler thought the theories of former depressions of the land, as in the Mississippi valley, should be tested by examination for flexures. He had found (in 1868) that flexures, and not fractures, had very much affected the course of the Wealden denudation in the Quaternary period. The laws of river-motion are very simple and precise; and as depressions and upheavals arc always unequal, any great movements in the Quaternary period would affect file courses of rivers, and be traceable in their deposits. The author had measured the remani~s valley-gravels of Coalbrook Dale, which were associated with marine shells 200 feet above the sea, and compared their contour with ordinary valley-gravels and with marine beaches, to ascertain under what probable conditions the sea had risen up the Severn valley without leaving any traces of cliffs or marine denudation except between Bridgnorth and Coal- brook Dale. The diamond gravel-deposits in Africa have a similar contour to those of Coalbrook Dale. The position of the Moel-Tryfaen beds was first described by Trimmer in 1831. Trimmer, an excellent geologist, observed the scratches on the rocks covered by the gravel with marine remains, and noticed their ice-origin, but did not draw, unfortunately, the natural inference that there must have been a Glacial period in Wales. This great discovery or invention was left to Agassiz to propose in 1837. The glacier-eroded lakes, much lower than Moel Tryfaen, and close to it, are free from marine remains; therefore it seems difficult. to suppose that a depression of1300 feet and immersion in the sea of Tryfaen, and subsequent elevation, could have taken place without having left any marks on the land except at one spot. The writer's theory of the change of the sea-lev• explains the Moel-Tryfaen deposit.

The measured section of the Chesil Beach shows its dose approxi- mation to a binomial curve; and the regularity of beaches and littoral zones along the Channel teach us what are the certain consequences of land being immersed under the sea. Mr. Tylor produced plans and sections showing how the tide actually affects the sea-bottom, and described the gorge below 50 fathoms in the Irish Sea, varying in width inversely with the width of the sea. He treated the tide as caused by the alternate and opposite slow movement of the deep and great mass of the Atlantic, giving motion to the water at the coast almost simultaneously, as if the whole water moved as one mass over an area of thousands of square miles. The velocity of the tide of one tenth of a mile per hour in the deep sea, produced by the composition of forces a tide of a velocity of three or four miles an hour on the coast. High and low water at different ports are the direct consequences of local currents in shallow water, set in motion by the greater mass of deep water. There are points in the English Channel where within a few miles there is a difference of six hours in high water. He objected to the theory of a tidal wave travelling in one direction, and moving faster in deep water than in shallow, because the tide is a reciprocatory movement and travels quicker in shallow than in deep water. In suppor~ of this he showed the char~ of the Channel, and that the tide turned in the Irish Sea at all points, deep or shallow, almost simultaneously. He found that in a large area of sea of 120,000 square miles, where the water averaged 67 fathoms off the Seilly Islands, the velocity of the tide was only one mile per hour ; hut in the shallows near the Channel Islands, where the depth was on an average 12 fathoms, by the composition of forces the velocity of the tide increased to 6 miles an hour. If the tide was the consequence of a tidal wave bringing high water, the tidal conditions of the Irish Sea would be very different from what they are described to be. It is high water in the N. when it is low water in the S. of the Irish Sea. He did not find any evidence of a plane of denudation on any sea-coast, but, on the contrary, deep gorges and curved surfaces, depth varying with width inversely, in the Irish Sea. The nearest approach to a plane surface was in the estuary of the La Plata ; but that flatness appeared more the consequence of deposition than of denudation. The great cuts-out or indentations of coast lines where rivers discharge into the ocean, when compared with the absence of indentations in areas where there are no great rivers but where the rocks are equally hard, showed that such denudation depended upon the alternate and opposite action of rivers and the tide. The shape of the ]~nglish Channel approaches to that of the Severn, Thames, and Seine estuaries; and the origin of all cuts-out are similar. He referred to the removal of the bar of the Danube, and to the great laws which regulgte the flow of water, which he ilhts- Downloaded from http://jgslegacy.lyellcollection.org/ at University of Oregon on June 24, 2016

Hydraulics and meteorology must be studied in connexion with the lines of denudation and deposition ; and however difficult and inconvenient these subjects might be, no results would be reliable unless all the physical circumstances were taken into account.

Mr. H. Woo~)wAal)thought that two of Mr. Tylor's observations ought not to pass quite unchallenged. First, with regard to the statement that portions of bare rock protruded from the ice-sheets in arctic countries, he thought that the observations of Dr. Hayes and Prof. l~ordenskiSld indicated that the whole interior of Green- land up to great elevations was entirely covered by ice. Secondly, with reference to the Rio Grande, he thought that Mr. Tylor ought to have taken some notice of the great Brazilian current; and he indicated that on our own eastern coast the mouths of certain rivers. such as the Orwell and the Alde, are bent to the southward by the set of the tide. Mr. PXP~KER inquired as to the quantity of water necessary to effect the changes to which the author had referred. Lately in Oxford there had been a fall of 1"9 inch of rain in 24 hours ; and in the same week nearly 5 inches of rain fell, equal to 260 inches in the course of the year. The result of this extraordinary rainfall was to produce a great flood in the Thames; but no excavating force seemed to be exerted, and the river was not affected in the least. In his own parish, he stated, the ditches, brooks, and rivulets which existed 1000 years ago could be proved by reference to ancient documents to be still in the same position and of the same size, so that apparently the denuding action of all the water that had fallen during this long interval had produced no effect. If denudation took place, there must have been a far greater amount of rainfall than in the instances adduced by the author. Prof. I)v~cA~. remarked that in the Khasia hills there is, as is well known, a rainfall of about 600 inches annually; and this, falling upon ground which does not readily absorb moisture, has cleared away all surface deposits, and even excavated coombs in the granite. He indicated that vegetation is protective, both by preventing the direct action of rain and by absorbing moisture. The examples of denudation figured by Mr. Tylor in his beautiful diagrams were merely cases of subaerial denudation. Prof. I)uncan protested against Mr. Tylor's notions of the nature of the tides. Mr. J. F. WX~K~R maintained that denudation is effected not by the direct action of rivers, but by that of rain falhng on the land and flowing into the rivers. By this means the rounded form shown in some of the author's diagrams, especially that of Oliver's Mount, is gradually given to the more elevated land. Mr. J. CHF~o~ WArn) called attention to the fact that in the Downloaded from http://jgslegacy.lyellcollection.org/ at University of Oregon on June 24, 2016

somewhat pluvial Lake-district there were many cases of small lakes with ice-worn sides, which have not been entirely filled up, shallow though they be, even in the time which has elapsed since the Glacial period. The present denudation, however, is very evident; it therefore seems improbable that it was vastly greater for a long period (supposed pluvial), or the results would have been greater also. He thought it was scarcely fair to bring forward such examples as the channels around our coast as proving the non-existence of planes of marine denudation, since in many cases these channels, by the author's own showing, were probably but ancient river-depressions. Prof. Ramsay's denudation-plane was a very different thing. He would like to ask Mr. Tylor how he would explain the great plateaux of drif~ occurring in Wales and Cumberland, and often sloping upwards from nearly the sea-level to heights of 1500 and 2000 feet. Were not such surfaces left by marine action on the elevation of the land? Mr. Tylor had rejected the idea of great alteration in level in recent times, because it was not evidenced by folding of the strata and contortion; but we know that small tracts have been raised and depressed quietly (witness the temple of Jupiter Serapis); and it becomes a question whether this may not sometimes be the case also over large areas. There were marine- like deposits (though not always shell-bearing) up to heights of 2000 feet in Wales and Cumberland ; and Mr. G. M. Dawson has recently brought forward facts to show that parts of North America along the Canadian frontier must have been depressed as much as 4000 feet beneath the sea. All these facts and many others should be considered before the author can establish his pluvial period on a firm footing, or deny the great submergence of land in comparatively recent times. ~[r. G. ~IAw maintained that the outline of the Chesil Beach is due to its mode of deposition, but could not admit that this was the case with the gravels of the Severn valley referred to by Mr. Tylor. Mr. W. S~ELFORD remarked that Mr. Tylor had attributed the form of the estuary of the Severn to a conflict between the tidal and fresh water. There was no such conflict; but the tidal water flowed and ebbed regardless of the fresh water in the river, except that the tidal water was more or less salt or fresh according to the rainfall. The fresh water merged in the salt, and pulsated, as it were, through the tide to the sea. The ordinary forces at work on our coasts sufficed to account for the width and depth of the estuary. As an example, the bay in which Chesfl Beach occurred had been threshed out to a great depth; and the de%ris, which could not escape from the bay because of the direction of the prevailing winds, had formed the beach: Sir J. Coode and Mr. Prestwich had shown this. Another example within his knowledge was on the coast of Yorkshire, from Bridlington to the Humber, where the coast had been degraded by the sea from the earliest historical times, so that there was now deep water where land had existed, and even where the old town o.f Ravenspur , once a famous seaport, had st~ood, Downloaded from http://jgslegacy.lyellcollection.org/ at University of Oregon on June 24, 2016

Mr. Tyler had referred to the Sulina mouth of the Danube as an instance of the power of fresh water to remove sand &c. Comparing that river with the Humber, the Danube had perhaps the largest drainage area of any river in Europe (300,000 square miles), the Humber the largest in England (10,500 square miles). The former, however, discharged into a tideless sea; the latter was a first-class tidal river. The sectional area of the Humber at low water was sixty times that of the Sulina mouth (which, however, only discharged part of the water in the Danabe), and its width 3 miles as against 650 feet at Sulina. In short, if England stood in tideless seas, the whole of the fresh water would only make three Sulina harbours ; and when it was considered how numerous and capacious the English harbours were, some idea might be formed of the comparative insignificance of the force of fresh water. Mr. W. P. B~.A~ objected to the use of the term "tidal wave," which he thought liable to lead to miseoneept/on. The PR~SIDV.~T begged Mr. Parker to bear in mind the difference between rivers in what may be called a domesticated state and those in a natural condition, which he thought was even greater than that existing between domestic and wild animals. He thought that Mr. Tyler generalized rather too freely, and without taking into consideration what was termed the angle of repose of materials. With regard to the comparison between the English Channel and the mouth of the Severn, he thought that we ought to consider that the geological structure of a coast has almost every thing to do with the form of the coast-line. It seemed to him that planes of denudation, as defined in geological books, were not exactly the same things as Mr. Tylor's statements would lead us to believe they were in his conception. With regard to the curves representing the fall of rivers, he thought that these must be influenced by the nature of the bed, and that when rivers flow over beds of varying hardness, they will not follow the curves laid down by Mr. Tyler. The AUTHOR briefly responded that his curves were laid down by a formula, and contrasted with the actual levels of rivers, so that the correspondence was proved, not inferred. The effect of hard rock in the Rhine and Indus disturbed the curve about 12 feet. The effect of changes of level at the Temple of Serapis was now said to be due to local causes damming up the stream.

By Henry Hicks, Esq., F.G.S. [Abstract *.] In this paper the author, after pointing out the lines of depression explained in his former paper to the Society, now further elaborated the views then propounded by him by carrying his examination into the higher Palaeozoic series and into more extensive areas. Beginning at the top of the Lower Silurian, where he first recognizes any evidence of a break in the Palaeozoic rocks, he proceeded to show that this break was restricted to very limited areas, and almost entirely confined to the parts which had been first submerged, and where the greatest thickness of sediment had accumulated on both sides of the Atlantic, and hence where the pr~e- Cambrian crust had become thinnest. On the European side this break occurred where volcanic ac't~ had taken place, and has doubtless to be attributed to the co~ibined action of upheaval of portions of the crust and the heaping-up of volcanic material, the latter in some cases forming volcanic islets of considerable extent. He strongly objected to look upon these breaks, even in the British area, where they are most marked, as evidence of a want of continuity over other and far greater areas, or to admit generally for the British area that in the rocks at this point "a great interval of time is indicated unrepresented by stratified formations." The conformity found in extensive and widely separated areas is proof also that a gradual contraction took place of an enormous portion of the crust in the northern hemisphere in Paheozoic times; and the breaks at the close of the Lower Silurian and in the Devonian are not indications of an arrest in the general subsidence. After indicating the changes which must have taken place in the climate from this gradual spreading of the water and the evidence to be de- This paper appears in full, with additions, under the title of "Some considerations on the probable conditions under whichthe Palaeozoic Rocks were deposited over the Northern Hemisphere," in the Geological Magazine.

PROCEEDINGS OF THE GEOT.0GICAI SOCIETY. II rived from the consideration of the deposits and the faunas, the author drew the following general conclusions :-- 1. That the condition of the northern hemisphere at the beginning of Palmozoic time was that of immense continents in the higher latitudes, traversed by mountainous ranges of great height, but with a general inclination of the surface, on the one side (European) to the south-west and south, and on the other side (American) to the south-east and south. 2. That these continents were probably covered, at least in their higher parts, with ice and snow ; and that much loose material had consequently accumulated over the plains and deeper parts, ready to be denuded off as each part became submerged. This would account for the enormous thickness of conglomerates, with boulders, grits, and sandstones, found in the early Cambrian rocks, and also to a certain extent for their barrenness in organic remains. 3. That the depression over the European and American areas was general from at least the latitude of 30 ~ northwards ; that the parts bordering the Atlantic were the first to become submerged; the lower latitudes also before the higher. 4. That the depression could not have been less altegether, for the whole of the Palmozoic, than 50,000 feet; and that conformable sediments to that extent are found over those parts of the areas first submerged, and which remained undisturbed. That volcanic action was chiefly confined to parts of the re~ons which became first submerged ; that the immediate cause of these outbursts was the weakness of the prm-Cambrian crust at those parts, from the great depression that had taken place, it being too thin there to resist the pressure from within, and to bear the weight of the superincumbent mass of soft sediment. 5. That the seat of volcanic action at this time was at a depth of probably not less than 25 miles, as sediment~ which were depressed to a depth of from 9 to 10 miles do not indicate that they had been subjected to the effect of any great amount of heat, and are free from metamorphosis. 6. That the climate in early Palmozoic times was one of very considerable if not extreme cold, and that it became gradually milder after each period of depression. That towards the close of the Palmozoic, in consequence of the elevation of very large areas, and to a great height, the climate became again more rigorous in character. 7. That the various changes which took place over the ~northern latitudes during Laurentian and Palmozoic times allowed marine and land life to develop and progress in those areas at interrupted periods only; consequently most of the progressive changes in the life had to take place in more equatorial areas, where the sea-bottom was less disturbed, and where the temperature was more equable. Any imperfection therefore in the Palmontolo~cal record belonging to these early times should be attributed to these and like circumstances; for wherever an approach to a complete record of any part of the chain is preserved to us, the evidence points unmistakably to an order of development, through a process of evolution from lower to higher grades of life.

I2 PROffEEDINeS OF THE eEoLoeIgat. SOCDETY.

DISCUSSIOl~~ Prof. RA~sA~ said that the paper embraced so many things that it was exceedingly difficult to follow or to criticise. He did not see that there was any evidence to prove that the old prm-Cambrian land must have existed near the present Cambrian rocks; nor did he see why the pr~-Oambrian h~11~ must necessarily have been 40,000 feet high. In Scotland a small portion of the old pr~-Cambrian land is still to be found ; it is flat now as.it was then. The Cambrian beds are often conglomerates; but all the pebbles contained in these are not traceable to the prm-Cambrian rocks on which they rest. Fur~er, if the land had stood so high as was stated by the author there must have been glaciers upon it, and some traces of glacial action, such as boulders, ought to be found; but this is not the case. The Lower Silurian rocks of Wigtonshire and the Old Red Sand- stone of Scotland and Cumberland contain many old boulders, showing that there must have been glacial epochs in those periods. He could not agree with Mr. Hicks in thlnldng that the climate had been gradually growing warmer; but there had, he thought, been many oscillations of temperature. The volcanic outbursts in North Wales are of two periods, with a tranquil period between them. There are f~om 4000 to 6000 feet of Lower Silurian reeks between the uppermost of the Lower Silurian volcanic rocks and the Denbigh- shire grits and flags ; and the latter could not have been altogether derived from volcanic rocks. He knew of no volcanic deposits in the Llandovery beds. After the deposition of the Lower Silurian rocks great disturbances occurred in consequence of contractions of the earth's crust; and in some parts of Britain outliers of the Upper Silurian are found resting on the upturned edges of the older rocks, the Upper Silurian having formerly extended unconformably over the Cambrian deposits. The metamorphic Silurian rocks referred to by Mr. Hicks are in no way connected with contemporaneous volcanic rocks in Great Britain. He thought that the perfect conformity from the base of the Cambrian to the Carboniferous epoch main- rained by the author was not borne out by fhcts. In Coalbrook Dale the Carboniferous rocks rest on Wenlock and Old Red deposits ; in Flintshire and Denbighshire on Upper Silurian, probably Wenloek. In Cumberland they rest partly on Lower Silurian, and in South Wales on Old Red Sandstone and Lower Silurian. In some places only they appear to rest conibrmably on the older rocks. Mr. D. C. DAv~s agreed with Professor Ramsay in considering that Mr. Hicks was mistaken in regarding the Denbighshire grits as in any way equivalent to the Llandovery shales. But though when looked at on a small scale there appeared to be great breaks in the sequence, there was nevertheless, in general, evidence of continuity of deposition. Trap rocks, although themselves varying considerably, produce local alterations in the neighbouring beds. The limestone of the Bala series is not altogether organic. Mr. :Erm~Rr,e~. doubted whether the history of the older rocks could ever be thoroughly comprehended. He thought tho author Downloaded from http://jgslegacy.lyellcollection.org/ at University of Oregon on June 24, 2016

PROC]~DINGS 01~ THE GEOZOGICAL SOCI~TY. I3 had laid rather too much stress upon the limestone periods, as the limestones only imply moderate depths. ~[e considered that there must have been an upheaval in Devonian times, and doubted whether Crustacea could live in a very cold sea. The PP~SZD~T thought that the succession of deposits maintained by the author was rather too uniform, and wished to ask Mr. Hicks where he considered the old land lay from which the sediment necessary for such thick deposits was produced. Mr. Hzexs, in reply, said that the evidence of mountainous ranges in prm-Cambrian times rested on the fact that portions of these rocks were not completely submerged even at the close of the Silurian, whilst it is certain that other portions were then depressed to a depth of from 30,000 to 40,000 feet. There are portions of this old land now visible in Algeria, Spain, England (Malvern and St. David's), north of Scotland, Norway, the Lofoten Islands, and ether places on this side of the Atlantic, and in numerous places on the American side from the latitude of 30 ~ to the Arctic regions. Some of these were brought up to the surface from a great depth during the changes which took place at the close of the Palmozoic ; but others seem to have been nearly, if not quite, at the surface even at that time. The Silurian epoch is represented only by limestone formations in most of the American and in many European areas ; but in the regions near to where volcanic action took place the sediments of this period are heaped up partly by marine life and partly by the loose materials derived from the volcanoes. In these regions, therefore, the limestones occur only as bands in the strata, and are thickest in proportion as they are distant from the disturbed areas. They were here formed at interrupted periods, or only during the time that the volcanoes were inactive and not throwing out material over the sea-bottom. The Carboniferous rocks in Pembrokeshire are faulted against the older rocks, and not deposited on their upturned edges. In the south-west of Wales the same folds affect the whole series from the Cambrian to the Carboniferous; and it is evident that in this region these deposits are perfectly conformable, though so near to the disturbed area in l~orth Wales.

RP.PORT'OI~ Trr~ COUNCIL FOR 1875. In presenting their Report for the year 1875, the Council of the Geological Society have the pleasure of congratulating the Fellows on the unprecedented prosperity of the Society. The number of new Fellows elected during the year is 98, of whom 80 paid their fees before the end of the year, making, with 16 previously elected Fellows who paid their Fees in 1875, a gross increase of no fewer than 96 Fellows. Against this increase we have to set the loss by death of 27 Fellows and by resignation of 7, whilst 3 Fellows were removed from the list for non-payment of contributions, making a t~tal loss of 37 Fellows. The actual increase on the year is therefore of 59 Fellows. The number of Contributing Fellows is increased by 61, being now 662. During the year 1875 the Society sustained the loss of two of its Foreign Members. The vacancies thus caused and those announced in the last Annual Report of the Council have been filled up by the election of four Foreign Members in the year 1875. Three of the vacancies in the list of Foreign Correspondents produced by these elections were filled up within the year; so that there was one vacancy at the close of the year 1875. The total number of Fellows and Foreign Members and Corre- spendents was 1290 at the end of the year 1874, and 1350 at the end of the year 1875. The Council have much pleasure in reporting that in 1875 the income of the Society was most satisfactory in amount, although, owing to the payments for the final expenses of removal and refurnishing (alluded to in last year's Report), and for the Supplementary Part of the Journal for 1874, it was not adequate to meet the expenditure. The total receipts of the year were 0s 18s. 0d., and the total Expenditure 0s 5s. 9d, showing an excess of Expenditure over Income of 0s 7s. 9d.

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING,

February 18, 1876.

JoKN Ev~s, Esq., F.R.S., President, in the Chair.

x6 PROCEEDINGS OF THE GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY, included a sum of -s a donation from the widow of the late James Yates, Esq., F.R.S., F.G.S., in lieu of an intended bequest of her late husband, which was invested in the purchase of ,s 15s. 4d. of 3 per cent. Consols. The net receipts of the Society, after deducting .this sum of ~s and a further sum of -s ,Is. 9d. on Removal- FundAccount, were 0s 3d. in 1875; and the net Expenditure, deducting as extraordinary the sum of .s lls. 10d. disbursed in connexion with the removal and refurnishing, was s 13s. lld., showing an excess of current expenditure over receipts of ,s 0s. 8d. The Supplementary Number of the Journal for 1874 cost .s 5s. 10d. The total cost of removal and furniture to 31st December 1875 has been .s 15s. 5d. Of this amount .s 78. 10d. was paid by subscriptions received and the interest accruing upon them while they remained in the Banker's hands, and .s 14s. 9d. by the sale of old cabinets and other articles which were rendered useless by the Society's change of residence. The remainder, -s 12s. 10d., has been paid out of the funds of the Society. The Council have to announce the completion of Vol. XXXI. of the Quarterly Journal and the commencement of the publication of Vol. XXXII. The Council have much pleasure in announcing that Mr. Ormerod has kindly furnished the manuscript of a Supplement to his Classified Index to the Publications of the Society, containing the Titles of the papers in the volumes of the Quarterly Journal (Vols. XXV. to :XXXl.) which have been completed since the preparation of the second edition of the Index. The Society is greatly indebted to Mr. Ormerod for this useful guide to the contents of its publications, which is now in the printers' hands. The late Sir Charles Lyell, by a clause in his Will, a copy of which is appended to this Report, bequeathed to the Society the die of a medal to be struckin bronze and called the ":[,yell Medal," to be given annually, or from time to time, by the Council, as a mark of honorary distinction to some person who shall be regarded as having aided the progress of Geological Science. Sir Charles Lyell further bequeathed to the Society a sum of Two thousand pounds, with direc- tions that it should be invested in the name of the Sodety or of its Trustees, and that the interest arising therefrom shall be given at the discretion of the Council for the encouragement of Geology or of any of the allied Sciences, subject always to the proviso that at least one third of the annual proceeds of this Fund shall be given to the recipient of the Lyell Medal. The amount of this bequest, free of legacy duty, has been received from the Executors of the late Sir Charles Lyell, and invested in the purchase of .s163 18. 0d. in the 3~ per cent. Stock of the Metropolitan Board of Works. The Council have further to record with thanks the liberal offer of Dr. J. J. Bigsby, I~.R.S., F.G.S., to found a bronze medal to be given n alternate years as an incentive to Geological study, and trust hat their acceptance of the offer will meet with the approval of the Fellows.

The Council have awarded the Wollaston Medal to Professor Huxley, F.R.S., F.G.S., in recognition of the distinguished services he has rendered to Geological Science by his valuable researches upon the Pal~eontology of the Vertebrata and upon the bearings of Pal~e- ontological investigations in general on the Philosophy of Geology. The MurchisonMedal, with the sum of 10 Guineas, has been awarded to A. R. C. Selwyn, Esq., F.R.S., Director of the Geolo~cal Survey of Canada, in recognition of his services to Silurian Geology. The first Lyell Medal, with the entire proceeds of the Fund to the present date, has been awarded to Professor John Morris, F.G.S., in testimony of appreciation of his long and meritoriousservices in almost every branch of Geology and Pal~eontology, and to assist him in carrying on his valuable observations and researches. The balance of the proceeds of the Wollaston Donation Fund has been awarded to Professor Seguenza, of Messina, a Foreign Corre- spondent of this Society, to aid him in his Pal~eontological researches, especially in the Sicilian Tertiaries. And the balance of the proceeds of the Murchison Geological Fund has been awarded to James Croll, Esq., of :Edinburgh, to assist him in his researches upon the phenomena of glaciation and the physical causes which may have conduced to extreme modifications of climate. Extrac't from, and Codicil to, the Will of the late ~ir Charles Lye,, t~art. "I give to the Geological Society of London the die executed by Hr. Leonard Wyon of a medal to be cast in bronze and to be given annually and called the Lye]l Medal and to be regarded as a mark of .honorary distinction and as an expression on the part of the govern- mg body of the Society, that the medallist (who may be of any country or either sex) has deserved well of the Science. I further give to the said Society the sum of Two thousand pounds (free of legacy duty) to be paid to the President and Treasurer for the time being, whose receipt shall be a good discharge to my Executors; and I direct the said sum to be invested in the name of the said Society or of the Trustees thereof in such securities as the Council shall from time to time think proper, and that the annual interest arising therefrom shall be appropriated and applied in the following manner-- not less than one third of the annual interest to accompany the Me- dal, the remaining interest to be given in one or more portions at the discretion of the Council for the encouragemeni of Geology or of any of the allied sciences by which they shall consider Geology to have been most materially advanced, either for travelling expenses or for a memoir or paper published or in progress, and without reference to the sex or nationality of the author or the language in which any such memoir or paper shall be written. "And I declare that the Council of the said Society shall be the sole judges (if the merits of the memoirs or papers for which they may vote the Medal and Fund from time to time. "And I direct that the legacy hereinbefore given to the said Society b2 Downloaded from http://jgslegacy.lyellcollection.org/ at University of Oregon on June 24, 2016

"As a Codicil to my Will dated January 1874, in which I directed that the Medal should be awarded annually by the Council of the Geological Society, I think it would be preferable that, instead of requiring it and the intores~ of r .s to be given annually, I should leave it to the discretion of the Council to suspend the awarding of the Medal for one year, as it may sometimes be a source of embar- rassment when there are several Medals to bestow to be forced to find a fit recipient. In this case the Council would have in the year following a larger sum from the interest of the.s as well as two Medals, to give away--whlch might be an advantage, because it has sometimes happened that two persons have been jointly engaged in the same exploration in the same country or perhaps on allied subjects in different countries, and the Council may think that the labours of both of them may deserve to be crowned by a mark of their appro- bation. In this case a Medal may be given to each with such proportion of the interest as the Council may decide always not being less to each Medal than one third of the annual interest of the .s as directed in my Will."

AI~NIVERS&RY MEEYI~G~WOLL&STON MEDAL. 47

.A.WARD OF THE ~'OLLASTON M'EDA'L. The Reports of the Council and of the Library and Museum Com- mittee having been read, the President, Jorr~ Evx~s, Esq., F.R.S., presented the Wollaston Gold Medal to Professor Hcx~.r, F.R.S., F.G.S., addressing him as follows :--

Professor Hux~r,-- It is a source of great satisfaction to me that it should fall to my lot to place in your hands the Wollaston Medal, which has been awarded to you by the Council of this Society in recognition of your distinguished services to geological science. Those services have been so grcat and are souniversally acknowledged that it seems hardly necessary to dilate upon them. For a period of upwards of five-and-twenty years you have been engaged in biological researches, which have resulted in throwing a flood of light upon the structure, affinities, and development of organisms of every class, from those so simple as to occupy the border territory between the animal and vegetable kingdoms, up to the highest forms of mammalian life. Such researches cannot but have had a great and beneficial influence on geological thought. But your services to geology and to this SocietT are of a far higher and more direct character. Not only have you furnished to our ' Proceedings' numerous and valuable palmontological essays, but on three occasions, either as President or as representing the President of this Society, you have dehvered Anniversary Addresses which are models of the philosophical exposition of great geological principles, such as I sincerely wish it had been in my power this afternoon to imitate. In addition to these services to the Society, you have, it may safely be affirmed, done more by your lectures than almost any other man to advance palmontologieal studies among those who are undergoing a course of scientific training, while to more popular audiences you have, by your vivid and lucid descriptions, rendered intelligible those marvellous natural processes by which such beds as our Lime- stones, Coal, and Chalk have gradually been built up. As formerly one of your Secretaries, I know the deep interest you take in all geological pursuits; and I therefore venture to express a hope, in which all in this room will share, that the day may not long be distant when, with renewed health and strength, and a greater voL XXXlI. d Downloaded from http://jgslegacy.lyellcollection.org/ at University of Oregon on June 24, 2016

Professor Hux~, in reply, said :--

5fr. Pl~v.SrDV.Nr,-- I am so much more accustomed to the language of criticism than to that of panegyric, that I feel a certain difficulty in framing a reply appropriate to the address with which you have just honoured me, To be enrolled among the eminent men who have been recipients of the Wollaston Medal is a distinction of which the most ambitious aspirant to scientific honours may be proud. The terms of personal kiudness in which you have clothed the award of the Council, and the warmth of my reception by the meeting, lead me to hope that I may, in addition, regard the distinction which has been conferred upon me as a mark of the goodwill of the colleagues with whom in past years I have been so closely associated. It is my hope and expectation, Mr. President, that the wish which you have so kindly expresse d as to the resumption of my palmontolo~cal work, will be fulfilled. The great biological question of the day is the problem of evolution; but geologists, as Kant says, arc the archmologists of nature, and the sole direct and irrefragable evidence of the method whereby living things have become what they are, is to be sought among fossil remains. If I have in any degree merited the unexpected honour you have conferred upon me, it is because I have steadily kept this truth in view ; and if I shall ever succeed in deserving the Wollas- ton Medal better than at present, it will be by further attempts to translate the archmological facts of nature into history.

• oF THE WOL~ST0~ DO~A~ION-~,

The Pm~s~uzNT then presented the Balance of the proceeds of the WoUaston Donation-fund to Mr. J. Gwr~ J~.FFP~s, for transmission to Professor GIVSF~P~.

Mr. GwYN J~.~F~xs,-- In pIaclng in your hands the Balance of the proceeds of the Wol- laston Fund for transmission to our foreign correspondent, Professor Segmenza, of Messina, may I request you to convey to him at the same time o~ high ~ense of the value of his investigations upon ~he Tertiary beds of Italy and Sicily, on which he has already publishe.d such numerous and important memoirs. Will you, in addition, express a hope that this mark of our appreciation may also prove of some assistance to him in the further prosecution of his researches.

Mr. Gwr~ J~FR~s, in expressing the thanks of his friend Prof. Seguenza, said that this testimonial would not only be highly valued, but be especially acceptable, because the stipend of an Italian Professor was too small to enable him to prosecute his palmontological researches as fully as he could desire.

The Pr~si~ next handed the Murchison Medal to Professor RA~SXY for transmission to Mr. A. R. C. S~.T.wrs, F.R.S., F.G.S., and spoke as follows :--

Professor P~sAY,-- I place in your hands the Mureh~son Medal and the portion of the Murchison Fund which have been awarded to Mr. Alfred R. C. Selwyn, F.R.S., in rec%o~ition of his services to Silurian geology ; for no one can appreciate better than yourself the character and importance of his work, or can better convey to him the assurance of the high estimation in which it is held. As one of the officers of the Geological Survey of 'this country, engaged in unravelling the intricate Lower Silurian Rocks of North Wales with their associated volcanic deposits--as afterwards in charge of the Geological Survey of Victoria, mapping its Silurian strata, its gold-bearing rocks and auriferous gravels of ciifferenL ages, and tracing the relations of the latter ~o the Miocene beds of the colony, and to the oldc~ rocks.--as subsequently the successor of Sir William Logan in the direction of the Gcolo~eal Survey in our d2 Downloaded from http://jgslegacy.lyellcollection.org/ at University of Oregon on June 24, 2016

North-American territories from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean, the labours of Mr. Selwyn have extended over an enormous field. How successfully he has worked in it, the numerous and excellent maps and sections executed under his superintendence, and his various reports and papers fully testify. There is something peculiarly appropriate in the Medal founded by Sir Roderick Murchison being Even to one whose labours, like his own, have lain so much among Silurian and other Palaeozoic rocks, among gold-fields, and in the direction of Geological Surveys. While it marks our appreciation of Mr. Selwyn's services to Geology, it will, I trust, not be the less welcome to him as a proof that though absent he is not forgotten by his fellow workers. Professor R~isAY, in reply, spoke as follows :- Mr. ~ENT,-- On behalf of Mr. Selwyn, I return thanks for the honour that has been conferred on him. When Mr. Selwyn joined the Geological Survey of Great Britain many years ago, I may almost say that he received his first ]essons in the art of Geological Surveying from me ; but he very soon proved himself so proficient in the work, that a large part of the survey of the intricate Lower Silurian rocks of North Wales was executed by him in a masterly manner. When the Geological Survey of the Colony of Victoria was established by the Colonial Government, Mr. Selwyn was selected to begin and conduct that work ; and there also, with the help of Mr. Daintree, the Browns, and others, it was his lot again to be engaged on a great scale in unravelling the intricacies of Silurian geology. After that Survey was abolished, no one was considered so fit as he to succeed the late Sir Win. Logan as Director of the Geological Survey of our North-American dominions ; and there is therefore an appropriateness in the award of the Murchlson Medal to one who has doge so much excellent work among Silurian rocks in three regions of the world.

Murchison Fund, and at the same time express the hope of the Council of this Society that it may prove of service to him in the prosecution of those studies with which his name has been so long and so honourably associated. His researches on Ocean Carrents, on Glacial Phenomena, on the bearing of the latter on Geological time, and of both upon Climate, were generally known and appreciated, even before the appearance last year of his work on Climate and Time, in which the results of his studies are so carefully and ably expounded. The author of that book Would be the last to regard the subjects of which it treats as being all now definitely settled, and requiring no further investigation ; and it is in the hope that his inquiries into the phenomena of glaciation, and into the physical causes conducing to extreme modifications of climate may be still further prosecuted, as well as in recognition of the valUable past labours of Mr. Croll, that the Fund which I place in your charge has been awarded to him.

Professor RAMSAY, in reply, said :-

Mr. PR~Sn)~NT,-- In returning thanks on behalf of Mr. Croll, I have no need to enlarge on the merits of a man so well known to geologists by his numerous memoirs, and now especially by his remarkable work, ' Climate and Time;' and though on a range of subjects so wide it is not to be expected that there should be no opponents to some of his views, there can yet be no doubt that the ability which he has displayed commands the universal respect of men of science and the adherence of not a few.

It has, I may venture to say, been unanimously felt that it was impossible to find a more worthy recipient than yourself, and that, in awarding both the Medal and the available proceeds of the Fund to one whose name was so intimately connected with the progress of Geological science, we were best carrying out the intentions of the founder, and attaching an importance to the Medal which would show that, though founded later, it takes equal rank with the other medals at the disposal of the Council. You have been a Fellow of this Society for upwards of thirty years; but the published resul~ of your geological investigations extend over a period of more than forty. Your ' Catalogue of British Fossils' has long taken rank as a standard work, while your communications to this and other Societies, both on Geological andP ala~ontological subjects, have been of high value and importance. Your lec- tureshave done muchto spread a taste for Geology, and to enlarge the number of its students; and those who have heard you take part in our discussions must have been astonished alike at the minuteness of your knowledge of every brancl~ Of Geology ~,nd Pal~eontology, and at the powers of memory by which you were enabled to apply it. I have much pleasure in handing the Lyell Medal to one who, like its founder, has rendered such long and meritorious services to our science, and am glad that, under the wise and liberal provisions of the bequest, this token of our appreciation is accompanied by a sum which may prove of assistance in enabling you to carry still further your valuable observations and researches.

PRESID]m~T,-- ., In receiving at your hands ~he firstaward of the Medal founded by Sir Charles LyeU, I cannot but deeply feel the distinguished honour which the Council 0f the Geological Society have this day conferred upon me. It is unnecessary to advert at this meeting to the works of an author whose labours in the field he earnestly cultivated have so greatly enlarged the bounds of geological knowledge and influenced the tone of geolo~cal thought. I may say, Sir, that it was chiefly by reading the first edition of Sir Charles Lyell's ' Principles of Geology,' and his review in 1827 of Poulett Scrope, that I was led to perceive their philosophicalbearings, and was stimulated to continue geological research; for although the 'Theory of the Earth' had been "illustrated and supported by the eloquence of a Playfair, it was the Downloaded from http://jgslegacy.lyellcollection.org/ at University of Oregon on June 24, 2016

THE ANNIVERSARY ADDRESS OF THE PRESIDENT, Jo~ Evx~s, Esq., F.R.S. In accordance with the custom of this Society, my first duty on {he present occasion is to place before you some account of those whom the busy hand of death has removed from among our ranks during the year which has elapsed since our last anniversary. Perhaps on no former occasion have we had to mourn over losses more numerous and, indeed, in many cases, so irreparable.

The great masterof our science, who, from the well-merited honours bestowed upon him by the Crown in recognition of his scientific services, has so long been known among us as Sir Cn_AaT,ws Lr~LL, died on :February 22ud, 1875. When, at our last anniversary meeting, I had the honour of addressing you, and while tracing the early history of our Society had occasion to refer to the services rendered to it during a period of upwards of 50 years by Sir Charles Lyell, little did I think that within three days' time we should have to deplore his loss, and that my first melancholy duty at the next anniversary would be to attempt some sketch of his most distinguished and meritorious career, and also to record our loss of his fellow Secretary of now upwards of fifty years ago, Mr. G. Poulett Scrope. Charles Lyell was born on l~ovember 14th, 1797, at Kinnordy, the family estate in :Forfarshire. His father, of the same name, was a man of both literary and scientific tastes, and of some distinction as a botanist---a remarkable genus of mosses, the species of which are principally found in the Himalayas, having received from Mr. Robert Brown thename of Lye~l(a in his hono~r, tie was also well known as an Italian scholar, and published in 1835, and subsequently in Downloaded from http://jgslegacy.lyellcollection.org/ at University of Oregon on June 24, 2016

1842, some translations from Dante, including the poems of the Vita 1Nuova and the Convito, with various dissertations upon them. In 1845 he also published a translation of the lyrical poems of Dante. His death took place in 1849. Mrs. Lyell was the daughter of Thomas Smith, Esq., of Maker Hall, Swaledale, Yorkshire. She died in 1850. Their eldest son Charles, after receiving the rudiments of his education at two smaller schools, was sent to the school at Mid- burst, under the head-mastership of Dr. Bayley. :Even at the age of ten he had already exhibited a strong taste for natural history, especially for entomology, on which subject he found some books 9in his father's library. :Not long after his son's bir~h, Mr. Lyell had removed to Bartley Lodge, near Lyndhurst, in the :New Forest ; and many were the hours spent by the young naturalist in watch- ing the habits of insects and in forming a collection of them in so favourable a field. His interest in entomology continued throughout his school days, and indeed through all his life, remaining vivid even after his health had begun to fail. He had also already paid some attention to the study of geology, when, at the age of 17, he matriculated at :Exeter College, Oxford. While at the University he appears to have taken the warmest interest in the lectures of Dr. Buekland, which no doubt exercised a strong influence over his future career. In 1818 he made a tour in France and Switzerland, in company with ogher members of his family, and thus commenced that long course of travel which is almost a necessity for those who wish fully to comprehend the grander features of geology and physical geography. In the year 1819 he took the degree of B.A., obtaining a second class in classical honours--and that of M.A. in 1821 ; but in the former year, on February 19, 1819, he was proposed as an ordinary member of this Society. In his certificate, dated Feb. 16, he was described as of :Exeter College, Oxford. It bears the well-known names of Win. Buckland, W. D. Conybeare, and Win. Edward Hony. He was elected on March 19, 1819. On leaving Oxford, in that same year, he entered Lincoln's Inn, and commenced studying for the Bar. Owing, however, to the weakness of his eyes, he was recommended to desist for a time; and in 1820 he again travelled on the continent, in company with his father, on this occasion as far as Rome. In December 1822 Mr. Lyell communicated to the Geological Downloaded from http://jgslegacy.lyellcollection.org/ at University of Oregon on June 24, 2016

This paper was not read until June 6, 1823, and does not appear to have been published, it having probably been withdrawn. In the meantime a joint paper by Gideon Mantell, Esq., and Charles Lyell, Esq., "On the beds of Limestone and Clay of the Iron-sand of Sussex," had been read on January 17, 1823. The action of the Society was in those days slower than at present; and it was not until March 1825 that the paper was ordered to be printed, in the 2nd series of the Trans- actions, vol. ii. p. 131. 9 On :February 7, 1823, he was elected one of the Secretaries of the Society, in conjunction with Dr. :Fitton and Mr. Webster, and retained the office until 1826, when he retired, after drawing up the Annual Report, but remained a member of the Council until 1827. It was during this period of his Secretaryship that our Society was incorporated by Royal Charter. About the year 1823 1Vir. Lyell made more than one visit to Paris, where he formed the acquaintance of :Baron :Humboldt, Cuvier, Alexander Brongniart, Constant Prdvost, and other distinguished men of science, whose friendship he retained in after life. In 1824 he made another geological tour in Scotland, in the company of Dr. Buckland ; and in December of that year he communicated to the Society another memoir, "On a recent formation of Rock-marl, or Freshwater Limestone, in the County of Forfar." This was followed by one in April 1825, "On Gyrogonites ;" and in June he added some remarks on" Quadrupeds imbedded in recent alluvial strata," the main portions of which are incorporated with that on the :Freshwater Limestone in the papers as printed in vol. ii. N. S. of the Transactions, p. 73 et seq~l. In May 1825 he contributed another paper, on a Dyke of Ser- pentine cutting through sandstone in the county of :Forfar. This he withdrew, and published in the :Edinburgh Journal of Science, vol. iii. p. 112. In March 1826 we find some of the results of his residence in the New Forest, in his paper, "On the strata of the Plastic Clay :Formation exhibited in the cliffs between Christchurch Head, ]=Iampshire, and Stud]and Bay, Dorsetshire." In June this was followed by a memoir, " On the freshwater strata of Hordwell Downloaded from http://jgslegacy.lyellcollection.org/ at University of Oregon on June 24, 2016

In 1825 he was called to the Bar, and for two years he went the Western Circuit; but though few minds were more capable of sustained attention and the accurate grouping of facts and weigh- ing of evidence, the pursuit of the law gave way to his devotion to science, and in 1827 he relinquished his legal career. As will have been seen, he had for some years taken an active part in the at~a~s of our Society; and in 1827 1 find it recorded in our Minutes thai; he seconded the proposal of Mr. Herschel, that the otfice of President or Vice-President should not be held for alonger period than two years--a practice which, previously to the granting of the Charter, had always prevailed in the Society, and which has since continued, with what are, I think, almost universally regarded as beneficial results. In 1819 he became a Fellow of the IAnnean Society. In February 1826 he became a Fellow of the Royal Society, to the Philosophical Transactions of which he subsequently contributed more than one paper, and from which in later years he re- ceivedboth the Copley and Royal Medals in recognition of his distinguished services to science. In June 1827 a paper by Mr. Lye]] was read at a meeting of this Society, " On some fossil bones of the Elephant and other animals found near Salisbury." This memoir is of great interest, as recording the phenomena observed in the brick-earth and gravels at Fisherton Anger, a locality since that time again 9brought into notice through the discovery of paleolithic implements in the same beds in which these bones of extinct animals were found. The author, with characteristic sagacity, remarked that in the brick-earth, which is a tx~nquil sedimentary deposit, there are no marine remains, but land-shells are said sometimes to occur, and that the brick-earth is not connected with the allu~l soil of the present valley, but appears to have been deposited when the valley was at a higher level, for it forms a low terrace along the side of the river Wiley, between Salisbury and Wilton, rising 30 or 40 feet above the present water-meadows. It is true that this is qualified by a remark that "it is necessary at least to suppose that when these beds were accumulated the water rose much higher than it now does ;" but that Mr. Lyell had even at that time much the same views as those now generally held as to the erosive power See Q.

In this paper they cite a valley 40 feet in depth, excavated in alluvial clay and sand, and partly in subjacent gneiss, by the waters of the Sioule, after the stream bad been diverted from its course by the lava of Come--and another instance where the Sioule has cut through more than 100 feet of compact basalt, and also into the gneiss beneath, to a depth of at least 50 fee~-and various other cases. They conclude that the elephant, rhinoceros, hippopotamus, hymna, and other animals whose bones had then been recently disinterred from the sands and gravels, belonged to a period" before the most recent cones and lavas of tho Auvergne had appeared, or the valleys had been excavated to their present depth." The visit paid by I~yell and ~d~urchison to the South of France in the summer of 1828 resulted in two other joint papers being communicated to this Society :--one in April 1829, "On the Tertiary Deposits of the Cantal and their relation to the Primary and Vol- canic Rocks "~; the other in the following June, "On the Tertiary Freshwater Formations of A ix en Provence, including the Coal- field of Fuveau"t. It may be mentioned that in 1828 Mr. Lyell became a Vice-President of this Society, and in 1829 Foreign Secretary, an office which he held until 1835, when he became President. From 1829 to 1833 he does not appear to have communicated any papers to tho Society, his labours being concentrated on that great work on which, above all others, the fame of Lye]l will rest, his 'Principles of Geology.' Upon this work he had already been engaged for several years, as the original MS. was in the hands of the publisher towards the close of 1827, when it was proposed that it should appear in the course of the year following in two volumes octavo. It was while preparing the prellmluary chapters on the History of Geology that he was seized with thedesire of visiting several parts of the continent, in order more especially to acquire further information concerning theTertiary formations. He was also anxious to verify the observations and views of his friend Mr. Poulett Scrope as detailed and exhibited in his ' Geology of Central France,' then recently p~tblished, and which had been reviewed by Mr. Lyell in * Annales des Sci.

They visited the Auvergne, Velay, Cantal, the Yivarais, and afterwards the environs of A_ix en Provence, and then passed by the Maritime Alps to Savona, and thence across Piedmont. At Turin they found Signor Bonelli engaged in the arrangement of a large collection of Tertiary shells, principally from Italy; and here it would appear that LyeU first attempted the practical application of the idea he had already conceived of classing the different Tertiary groups by reference to the proportional number of recent species found fossil in each. After exploring some portions of the Vicentin, the travellers parted, and Lyell proceeded southwards, studying at Parma the fine collection of Tertiary fossil shells formed by Signor Guidotti, and visiting Flo- rence, Sienna, and Rome. At Naples he formed the acquaintance of Signor O. G. Costa, who had studied the fossil shells of Otranto and Calabria, and had instituted some comparisons between them and the recent testacea of the Calabriau coast. In October 1828 Mr. Lyell examined Ischia, where he was surprised to find that of about 30 species of shells, some of them from beds 2000 feet above the sea, the whole, with but two or three exceptions, were of species now living in the Mediterranean. :From Naples he crossed into Sicily, where he spent about two months, and returned to Paris in :February 1829. He there found M. Desnoyers just publishing his memoir on the Tertiary :Forma- tions more recent than the Paris basin, and communicated to him his views as to the means of arranging the Tertiary formations chronologically, M. Desnoyers being already convinced of them being a succession of Tertiary formations of different ages. M. Deshayes had also arrived at the conclusion that the fossil shells of the Tertiary period might be arranged under three groups ; and the views of the :French conchologist and the :English geologist proved to be so much in accordance, that the former promised the latter his co-operation in the great work which he had in hand, though Mr. LyeU was in favour of adopting four divisions instead of three. In March 1829 he returned to London; but the printing of his book was a second time suspended while he again took the field in order to examine the Crag deposits of Essex, Suffolk, and Norfolk. At length, in January 1830, the first volume of the 'Principles of Geology' made its appearance. Downloaded from http://jgslegacy.lyellcollection.org/ at University of Oregon on June 24, 2016

ANNIVERSARY ADDRES~ OF THE PRESIDENT. 59 9 It is difficult to overrate the beneficial influence which this attempt to explain the former changes of the earth's surface by reference to causes now in operation has had on the progress of Geology. :I-Iowmany of us might re-echo the words of Professor Sedgwick spoken at the anniversary meeting of this Society in the year following the publication of the first volume of the ' Prin- ciples.' "Were I to tell the author of the instruction I received from every chapter of his work, and of the delight with which I rose from the perusal of the whole, I might seem to flatter rather than1 to speak the language of sober criticism, but I should only give u~erance to my honest sentiments." In a subsequent passage Sedgwick suggests that in some portions of the work, as it at first appeared, the author might seem to forget the character of the historian in the language of the advocate. This may perhaps be regarded as another way of saying that, at the time, Sedgwick's own views and those of Lyell did not correspond. But even assuming that the assertion had some foundation in fact; which of us can say that, amidst the conflict of opinions, he can always hold the scales of even-handed justice, and never exalt one phase of truth somewhat at the expense of another, or that he can always take in at one g]ance the whole of the varied aspects of some single truth ? In combating errors such as those with which Lyell had to contend, it was indeed impossible but that certain facts bearing directlyupon points at issue should be insisted upon more strongly than those which were less important in the particular case, or even totally irrelevant. When arguments are otherwise unanswerable it is easy to meet them with a charge of par- tiality. Still, whatever may be thought upon this point, as a store- house of facts, a mine of information, a model of logical argument, this portion of the, Principles of Geology,' whichever may be the edition consulted, will ever stand almost unrivalled. In the summer of 1830 Mr. I,yell, still intent upon his book, set out on a geological expedition to the South of :France, the Pyrenees, and Catalonia, returning to Paris in September. In the following summer he made an excursion to the volcanic district of the :Eifel; and on his return he determined to extend his work to three volumes. It was not until January 1832 that the second volume of the ' Principles ' was published, when it was received with as much favour as the first had been. It related more especially to the changes in the organic world, while the former volume had treated mainly of the inorganic forces of nature.

6o PROCEEDINGS OF THE GEOLOGICAL ~CI~fY.

Singularly enough, some of the points which were seized on by his great fellow-labourer Murchison in his Presidential Address to this Society in 1832, as subjects for felicitation, are precisely those which the candid mind of Lyell, ever ready to attach the full value to discoveries or arguments from time to time brought forward, even when in opposition to his own views, ultimately found reason to modify. We can never, I think, more highly appreciate Sir Charles Lyell's freshness of mind, his eandour and love of truth, than when we contrast Certain portions of the first edition of the 'Principles' with those which occupy the same place in the last, and trace the manner in which his ~udicial intellec~ was eventually led to conclusions diametrically opposed to those which he originally held. To those acquainted only with the later edi- tlons of the ' Principles' and with his ' Antiquity of Man' it may sound almost ironical in Murchison to have written "I cannot avoid noticing the clear and impartial manner in which the unte- nable parts of the dogmas concerning the alteration and transmu- tation of species and genera are refuted, and how satisfactorily the author confirms the great truth of the recent appearance of man upon our planet." It must, however, be remembered that it was with the theories of Lamarck, and not of Darwin, that the author of the ' Principles' had to contend ; and, further, that in his later years no one was more ready to give :Lamarck credit where credit was due, and especially with regard to his appreciation of Geological time. Mr. :Lyell had, in 1831, been appointed Professor of Geology in King's College, London, where, in 1832, he gave a course of lectures illustrative of the views explained in the concluding (and as yet unpublished) volume of his work. In the summer of 1832 he made a tour up the valley of the :Rhine, where he examined the loess, and visited the Yalorsine on his way home through Switzerland, being still intent on the more recent geological formations. At length, in :May 1833, after the first and second volumes had already reached a second edition, the third and last volume of the ' Principles of Geology' was published, which was appropriately dedicated to his fellow-traveller Murchison. Of its contents I need say but little beyond reminding you tha~ the terms Eocene, Miocene, and Pliocene, now "Familiar in our mouths as household words," 9were then first introduced into the :English language. :By the Downloaded from http://jgslegacy.lyellcollection.org/ at University of Oregon on June 24, 2016

The doctrines which liutten and Playfair had held and taught assumed new and more vigorous life when their principles were explained by their eminent successor, and were supported by arguments which, as a whole, were incontrovertible. But to return to Mr. Lyell's connexion with this Society. In February 1832 he communicated a paper, "On a Freshwater For- marion containing Lignite, in Cerdagne, in the Pyrenees ;" and in April 1833, "Observations on the Loamy Deposit called Loess, in the Valley of the Rhine." In May 1834 he published a new edition, called the 3rd, of his ' Principles ;' and during the summer of that year he made a tour in Denmark and Sweden, and subsequently communicated to the Royal Society his celebrated paper on the proofs of the gradual rising of the land in certain parts of Sweden. On :February 20, 1835, he was elected President of this Society, and in May of that year read a paper "On the Cretaceous and Tertiary Strata of the Danish Islands of See]and and Miien," in which he gave some of the results of his visit to the islands in company with Dr. l~orchhammer, dwelling mainly on the contorted chalk of M~ien, and on the :Faxoe beds. He also communicated a paper "On the occurrence of fossil vertebrm of fish of the Shark family in the loess of the Rhine, near Basle." IIe continued in office until :February 17, 1837, when he was succeeded by the Rev. William Whewell. In August 1838 he published his second great work, ' The J~le- ments of Geology,' which originally consisted of an expansion of the fourth book of the 'Principles.' This work also has gone through numerous editions, the sixth of which was published in 1865. In some of the intermediate editions it was termed a ' Manual of ~lementary Geology ;' but the work having outgrown the usual dimensions of a manual, its original title was resumed. As some measure of its growth, it may be mentioned that whereas the first edition consisted of 528 pages duodecimo, the sixth con- rained 772 pages octavo, of smaller and closer type.

In 1839 he again joined the Council, and was one of the Vice- Presidents, and during that year communicated several papers to the Society. These were :--1. On the occurrence of Graptolites in the slate of Galloway in Scotland, the specimens having been found by Mr. J. Carrick Moore ; 2. On some fossil and recent shells collected by Captain Bayfield, R.N., in Cabin, the group bearing much resemblance to that of Uddevalla, with which Mr. Lyell compared it; and 3. On the relative ages of the Te~ deposits com- monly called Crag, in Norfolk and Suffolk, in which he substantiated the chronological arrangement of these beds, already suggested by Mr. Charlesworth. In 1840 and succeeding years he still remained upon the Council, and in 1840 communicated papers "On the Boulder Formation or Drift, and associated freshwater deposits composing the mud cliffs of Eastern Norfolk" (a memoir published in the London and :Edin. Phil. iVIag, for May 1840), and "On the Geological evidence of the former existence of Glaciers in :Forfarshire." In 1841 he read papers "On the freshwater fossil fishes of Mundesley, as determined by M. Agassiz," "On the :Faluns of the Loire, and a comparison of their fossils with those of the newer Tertiary strata in the Cotentin, and on the relative age of the Faluns and Crag of Suffolk," "Some remarks on the Silurian strata between Aymestu'y and Weulock," and "No~es on the Silurian strata in the neighbourhood of Chris- tiania in Norway." In 1841 Mr. Lyell was invited to deliver a course of twelve lectures at the Lowell Institution, in Boston, Massachusetts, and found his acceptance of the task repaid by an immense attendance at his class, for which 4500 tickets were issued, the average audience numbering about 3000. He took this opportunity of travelling through a considerable portion of North America---and in 1845 published an account of his travels, together with geological observations on the United States, Canada, and Nova Scotia, in two volumes. Though this work was essentially geological, the amount of general observations, not only on the institutions he found in America, but on those he left behind him in :England, shows how warm an interest he took in all he saw, and with what true liberality of spirit his opinions were formed.

Abstracts of most of these papers appeared in America, in Sil]iman's Journal The Cretaceous and Tertiary Corals collected by Mr. Lyell afforded also the foundation for several valuable papers communicated to the Sodety by Mr. Lonsdale. In 1843 he revisited the Auvergne, and in November 1845 com. menced a paper " On the age of the newest ]ava~current of Au- vergne, with remarks on some Tertiary fossils of that country." In the autumn of 1845 he returned, in company with his wife, to America, and furnished the Society with "Notices of the Coal- fields of Alabama and the newer deposits of the Southern States of North America," and papers " On the Footmarks discovered in the Coal-measures of Pennsylvania," and "On the structure and probable age of the James river, near :Richmond, Virginia." It was during this visit that he was enabled to make the important observations with regard to the formation of the alluvial plain of the Mississippi which he communicated to the British Association after his return to :England in June 1846, and which are incorporated in the later editions of the ' Principles.'

In 1847 he again became a Vice-President of this Society, and read a paper "On the relative age and position of the so-called Nummulite Limestone of Alabama." He also made the reptilian footmarks he had observed in America the foundation of a lecture at the Royal Institution, an establishment in which he took a warm interest, and at which in subsequent years he gave several geological lectures of high value. In February 1849 he contributed another American paper to this Socie .ty, in the shape of short notes on some recent foot-prints on :Red :Mud in Nova Scotia. :h'or were these papers and letters the only result of these travels ; for in 1849 he published "A second Visit to the United States of North Afi~erica," in two volumes--a work containing, like the account of his former visit, a vast amount of geological observations, but in this case intermixed with a considerably greater proportion of general information and anecdote. In 1848 he received the honour of knighthood; and in February 1849 he was again elected President of this Society, and remained in office until 1851, when he was succeeded by the late Mr. Hopkins. In December 1849 he communicated to this Society a most important paper, "On Craters of Denudation, with Observa- tions on the structure and growt,h of Volcanic Cones ;" and in 1851, one "On Fossil Rain-marks of the Recent Triassic and Carboni- ferous Periods," on which subject he also lectured at the Royal Insti- tution. In May 1852 he again furnished a paper," On the Tertiary Strata of Belgium and French Flanders ;" and in the summer of that year he revisited America, as one of the Commissioners of the Great Exhibition in New York, and spent some time in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. One of the results of this visit was a communication to the French Geological Society, " :Rapport sur la partie ggologique de l':Exposition de New York en 1853." Another was a joint paper by Sir Charles Lyell and :Mr. J. W. Dawson, read to this Society in January 1853," On the remains of a reptile (Dendrer2eton acadia~um, Wyman and Owen), and of a land-shell discovered in the interior of an erect fossil tree in the Coal-measure~ of ~ova Scotia." A portion of the spring of 1854 was passed by Sir Charles Lyell in Madeira; and his letters to his father-in-law, Mr. Leonard Homer, whose eldest daughter he had married in 1832, afforded an interesting communication to this Society in March 1854, on the geology of some parts of Madeira.

In 1866, the fact of his having retired from the Council afforded the opportmfity of awarding to him the Wollaston Medal; and never was there a more distinguished recipient. In 1867 he rejoined the Council, and remained one of its members until the day of his death. His devotion to Geology, and to this Society as its chief exponent in this country, was such that he declined more than one possible career of utility in other departments, in order to remain free to attend our meetings, and to concentrate his energies upon his favourite science. :Nor can his interest in the welfare of our Society and of geological science be said to have ceased with his death ; for in his will he bequeathed to the Society the dies for a medal, and a sum of -s the interest of which is to form a fmld to be bestowed in the encouragement of geology, or any of the allied sciences by which geology may have been most materially advanced. The medal, as .a mark of honorary distinction, ~dll ever be highly valued ; and the fund, under the wide and liberal conditions for its bestowal laid down by the testator, cannot be otherwise than pro- ductive of good. Though his original communications to this Society had ceased in 1854, the pen of Sir Charles was never idle. One of the most important papers which he communicated to the :Royal Society, that "On the structure of lavas which have consolidated on steep slopes, with remarks on the mode of the origin of Mount Etna and on the theory of Craters of Elevation," was read in 1858, and was subsequently translated into French, German, and Italian. :His principal occupation appears, however, to have been the accumulation of fresh .stores of information, and recasting his ' Principles' and ' Elements of Geology,' of which a fifth edition appeared in 1855. In 1859 his thoughts took a fresh direction; and the question of the antiquity of man, then brought prominently forward by the discoveries in the Brixham Cave, and by the confirmation of M. :Boucher de 1)erthes's discoveries by the late Dr. :Falconer and Mr. Prestwich, and, I may venture to add, myself, absorbed his immediate attention. :He had long taken part in the efforts of the :British Associa~mn for the Advancement of Science, and, indeed, had been one of its e2 Downloaded from http://jgslegacy.lyellcollection.org/ at University of Oregon on June 24, 2016

It was at this ]atter place, to a crowded audience, among whom was the late Prince Consort, that Sir Charles, in his opening address, took the Antiquity of Man as his subject, and stated his belief that the age of the Amiens and Abbeville flint implements was great indeed if compared with the times of history or tradition. In February 1863 the first edition of his ' Antiquity d Man' was published; and so great was the demand for it that it reached a third edition by the following November. In it he not only sum- marized all the evidence in favour of a remote origin for the human race, but for the first time expressed his belief in Mr. Darwin's theory of the 'Origin of Species' as the best explanation yet offered of the connexion between man and those a, lmals which have flourished successively on the earth; in neither case allowing preconceived opinions or a mistaken idea of consistency to interfere with his judg~nent or his impartial love of truth. In his fourth edition, which appeared in May 1873, much new matter is added, and the old in part modified; while the more recent discoveries, and his own observations during his travels in the south of France in 1872 are incorporated in the work. In 1864 he was created a Baronet, and was also elected President of the British Association, which that year met at Bath, where, after dwelling in his address upon the problems connected with the origin d thermal springs and questions of climate, he again reverted to the antiquity of man, and related that now famous apologue as to the diffficulty so often experienced when called upon t~) make liberal grants of time to what may be termed the recent period of geology, of " getting the chill d poverty out of our bones." The 10th edition of the 'Principles of Geology,' which was greatly enlarged and filled two volumes instead d one as in the 9th edition, was published in 1866. In 1872 the llth edition appeared; and during the last months of his life Sir Charles was busily engaged during all his best hours in preparing the 12th edition, which has been published since his death. Even on his deathbed he had the last few pages read to him, suggesting alterations and giving the necessary, instructions to his secretary. It was but a few days before his death that he had the satisfaction of announcing to one of his friends " I have finished revising the ' Principles.'"

ANNIVERSARY ADDRESS OF Ti~E PRESIDENT. 5 7

]~or some time before 1871 Sir Charles had strongly felt that he might aid in the great work of spreading a popular taste and interest in Geology by condeusing his ' Elements' and bringing it out at a price which would just cover the cost of its preparation. The writing of his' Student's Elements of Geo]o~o.~.' was in consequence undertaken, and the first edition published in 1871, which was soon exhausted. The success of this attempt to popularize his favourite science induced Sir Charles--who often expressed his satisfaction at the manner in which this work of his old age had been received--to bring out a second and enlarged edition in 1874. Though the ' Student's Elements' was based on the earlier ' Elements of Geology,' the author regarded them, and with good reason, as two separate and distinct works. As was so justly due to his eminent services in the advancement of knowledge, Sir Charles received numerous distinctions from academic bodies both at home and abroad. From the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge he received the honorary degrees of D.C.L. and LL.D. He was an honorary Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, a Knight of the Prussian Order of 1VIerit, and a Corresponding :Member of the French Institute (Academy of Sciences), of the Royal Academy of Sciences of Berlin, Munich, and Copenhagen, of the Philosophical Society of Philadelphia, of the Natural-History Society of Boston, and of other learned bodies. In April 1873, Sir Charles suffered the saddest of all losses in the death of Lady Lyell, who for upwards of forty years had been to him an invaluable helpmate. To use the words of Prin- cipal Dawson, " his wife net only graced his home, and sedulously attended to all the wants and interests of a man too devoted to his specialties to give much attention to the ordinary affairs of life, but shared the fatigues of his journeys, and gave no small help in many of his works, being herself well acquainted with natural history and an accomplished linguist." From this loss he never fully recovered; and failing health and eyesight prevented him from often attending our meetings. Those, however, among us who had the good fortune to be present at the Jubilee dinner of the Geological-Society Club, in November 1874, will ever remember with pleasure the freshness and vigour of thought which he then exhibited, and which he preserved unto the end. It was this freshness of mind which constituted one of his greatest charms ; and the vivid interest with which he entered into every new subject and the attention which he concentrated upon Downloaded from http://jgslegacy.lyellcollection.org/ at University of Oregon on June 24, 2016

I shall never forget the manner in which on one occasion he witnessed my manufacture of a flint arrow-head by means of a tool made of stag's horn--how he watched every splinter and scale as it was removed, and finally carried off not only the finished arrow-head, but every particle of flint which had been dislodged from the original flake in the process of manufacture. It was, too, this freshness and perpetual youth of mind which enabled him to take in and appreciate all new facts as they were discovered, to discard any of his former views which were proved to be erroneous, and to cheer on by his cordial sympathy the younger explorers in the field of science in which he had been so long a worker. Many of us who have only known Sir Charles Lye]] in his later years, have perhaps been too much accustomed to regard him rather as a systematizer of the facts and observations of others than as an original observer; and cert,Mnly no one was ever more pre- eminent in this most useful department of science, no one possessed greater intuitive knowledge of the value of any discovery, or was better able to see its relation to other facts, and to place it in its due position ; and no one could do this in a more clear and attractive manner. It must, however, never be forgotten with how large an amount of travel and actual observation Sir Charles Lyell began his course, as is fully e)~inced by his numerous communications to this Society, nor that practically the progress of science has been much further advanced by those who, after fully qualify- ing themselves for the task, have, like Sir Charles Lye]], brought themselves into close contact with their fellow-workers in the same field, and reduced their discoveries into one harmonious whole, than would have been the case had the same persons confined themselves to original work in what after all colfld be bu~ a small area as compared with the whole expanse of their science. With regard to his original work, I am tempted to use the words of a letter written by Mr. Leonard Homer at least 35 years ago. "Lyelrs reputation rests on his having, in his' Principles,' put forth grand generalizations of the science of Geology in a masterly manner. lie was the first to show the changes of climate which would ne- cessaril~ follow the existence or absence of land above the surface of the sea, and its varied elevation, and that such changes in the relative proportions of sea and land must have been going on at various epochs all over the globe.

There is one other point on which it seems desirable to say a few words ; and inasmuch as I find, on reading Principal Dawson's address to the Natural-History Society of Montreal, that he has an- ticipated me on the subject, I make no apology for using his language rather than my own. He says that injustice has been done to Lyell by a misconception that he was thoroughly uni- formitarian in the sense of maintaining that similar changes have been taking place throughout all geological time. " It is true that he objected to any explanation of geological changes by imaginary cataclysms not warranted by observations of similar facts; but no one was more ready than he to receive any evidence of change, or physical or organic action, whether sudden or gradual, as a geological cause, provided it could be shown to be or to have been a natural fact. Further, no one was more fully impressed with the continual change and progress in nature, and with the necessity of taking into account the different conditions of different geological times, in applying any modern cause to account for ancient phenomena" It is, however, time to conclude this imperfect memoir, which has extended to an almost unprecedented length, but which I fear has not done justice to one whose memory we all so highly honour, and to whose labours the whole of the civilized world is so deeply indebted. His death, which was somewhat accelerated by an accident, took place on February 22, 1875. The remains of Sir Charles Lyell received a fitting tribute of honour by being interred among others of our good and great in Westminster Abbey. In the words of the solemn anthem which we heard over his grave, "His body is buried in peace, but his name liveth evermore."

Sir Charles Lyell's early and constant friend, Mr. GEORGE POUL•TT SCROPE $, F.R.S., did not long survive him. He was born in London in 1797--the year in which also Sir Charles was born--and was the second son of J. Poulett Thomson, Esq., of Waverley Abbey, Surrey, the head of the eminent mercantile firm of Thomson, Bonar and Co. He was educated at Harrow, and subsequently proceeded to For portions of this memoir I am indebted to a biography of Mr. Scrope, revised, I believe, if not written by himself, in the Geological Magazine for May 1870.

St. John's College, Cambridge. While still an undergraduate, he passed the winter of 1816-17 at Naples, with a part of his family, where he was struck by the phenomena of the neighbouring volcano, then in almost permanent though moderate activity. Returning to Naples in 1818, he renewed his study of Vesuvius, and the volcanic territory of the Campagna., and of the district west of the Apennines, between Santa Fiora, ill Tuscany, and the Bay of Naples, in which, however, no eruption has taken place within the last few centuries. At Cambridge he had the advantage of frequent intercourse with Professor E. D. Clarke and Professor SedgMck, who was then commencing his distinguished career as a geologist. They both agreed with him in thinking that the influence of volcanic forces in the production of the rocks that compose the surface of the globe had been much undervalued, and encouraged him to continue his researches. In the spring of 1819 he therefore made the tour of Sicily, visiting Etna and the Lipari Islands. Being still more strongly convinced of the erroneous nature of the Wernerian views, which were then in vogue, as to the origin of the so-called Flcetz Trap-rocks, he determined to proceed to Auvergne. On his marriage, in 1821, with the heiress of the ancient family of Scrope, he assumed that name; and in June of that year Mr. Scrope established himself at Clermont, the capital of the De- partment of the Puy de D6me, and passed some months in c~m- tinua~ examination of the geology of the neighbourhood, removing thence, as it became convenient, to the Baths of Moat Dore, Le Puy, and Aubenas. He there collected the materials for the volume on the Geology of Central France, published by him some years later (in 1827), a work which has been ever since generally accepted as the best authority on this interesting district. :From France /~h'. Poulett Scrope proceeded to Italy, where, after visiting the Euganean Hills and other volcanic districts of Northern Italy and of the :Roman territory, he reached Naples once more, in the beginning of October, 1822, fortunately just in time to witness the great paroxysmal eruption of that month, which left Vesuvius lowered in height by some 600 feet, and transformed it from a solid cone, with a nearly flat rough plain at the summit, into a hollow crust or casing, as it were, still outwardly cone-shaped, but pierced internally by a vast crater, a mile in diameter and nearly 2000 fet t deep, wifich had been torn through the heart of the moun- Downloaded from http://jgslegacy.lyellcollection.org/ at University of Oregon on June 24, 2016

Poulett Scrope with those opinions on the true character and mode of action of volcanic force which distin- guish his views on this subject from those of the greater number of writers who have treated upon the same matters, but who possessed a less fortunate combination of opportunities for the direct personal observation of the phenomena and the formation of a sound judgment as to their real nature. Mr. Scrope contributed to the 'Journal of Science' (vol. xv. p. 175) a short account of the great eruption of 1822, with a drawing of the crater as it appeared immediately afterwards. In the summer of 1823 he spent some time in the examination of the volcanic region of the Upper and Lower Ei[el, the Siebenge- birge, &c., and subsequently sent a detailed description of them to the ' Edinburgh Journal of Science' (June 1826). Returning to England, he was proposed as a Fellow of this Society, andwas elected on April 23, 1824, Sir Charles Lyell's name being among those appended to his certificate. At the time of his election he communicated a paper to the Society " On the Geology of the Ponza Islands," which afforded matter for reading at three successive meetings. It is printed in our Transactions. He had already, in 1823, published some articles in the 'Quarterly JournM of Science,' " On the Geology of the Paduun, Vicentine, and Veronese territories," and appears also to have written on the fossil fishes of Monte Bolca. In :February 1825 he was elected one of the Secretaries of this Society in conjunction with Sir Charles Lyell, but retired from the office at the end of the year, remaining on the Council until 1827. In March of the latter year he communicated a paper "On the Volcanic district of Naples." In ].825 he published the first edition of his work ' On Volcanos, the character and probable causes of their Phenomena, and their connexion with the present state and past History of the Earth,' a work which, owing to its strong opposition to the Wernerian doctrines as to the aqueous precipitation of Trap-rocks, which were at that time in the ascendant, was received by many with distrust, and by some even with ridicule. A few years later, however, the justice of Mr. Poulett Scrope's views as to the volcanic origin of Basalts, Trachytes, Porphyries, and similar rocks, and of his ideas as to subterranean agency began to be acknowledged; and at the end of 1826, when his volume ' On the Geology and Extinct Volcanos Downloaded from http://jgslegacy.lyellcollection.org/ at University of Oregon on June 24, 2016

72 PSOCEEDI~OS OF ~rrE e~I, OeICAL SOCIE~. of Central France' issued from the press, illustrated by elaborate sketches made upon the spot, a different opinion began to be formed as to the authority of his earlier work. One feature of great interest in the case is that in the ' Quar- terly Review' for May 1827 appeared an article "On the Geology of Central France," which, in the words of Mr. Scrope, was, "I believe, the first essay of my distinguished friend Sir Charles Lyell in the path of geological generalization which he has since so successfully pursued." There can be no doubt as to the community of ideas which existed between Scrope and his fellow Secretary, which, indeed, formed a bond of intimacy and of mutual regard between them. Both the one and the other were the staunch advocates of the doctrines of Hutton and Playfair as contrasted with those of Werner; and there cannot well arise a question of priori~T between them. The following passages, extracted from the "Preface to the Con- siderations on Volcanos," published in 1825, might almost have been written by the author of the ' Principles of Geology,' and are well worthy of being reproduced :-- "Geology has for its business a knowledge of the physical processes which are in continual or occasional operation within the limits of our planet, and the application of these laws to explain the appearances discovered in our geognostical researches, so as from these materials to deduce conclusions upon its past history. "The surface of the globe exposes to the eye of the geognost abundant evidence of a variety of changes which appear to have succeeded one another during an incalculable lapse of time. These changes are briefly :w " 1. Variations of level between different constituent parts of the surface of the terraqueous globe. "2. The destruction of former rocks and their reproduction under new forms. "3. The production of new rocks upon the earth's surface. Geolo~sts have hitherto usually had recourse for the explanation of these changes to the supposition of sundry violent and extraordinary catastrophes, cataclysms, or general revolutions. "As the idea imparted by the terms cataclysm, catastrophe, or revolution is extremely vague, and may comprehend any thing you choose to imagine, it answers for the time as an explanation ; that is, it stops further inquiry; but it has the disadvantage of stop- Downloaded from http://jgslegacy.lyellcollection.org/ at University of Oregon on June 24, 2016

"If, however, instead of forming guesses as to what may have been the possible causes and nature of these changes, we pursue that which I conceive t,o be the only legitimate path of geological inqtdry, and begin by examining the laws of nature which are actually in force, we cannot but perceive that numerous physical phenomena are going on at this moment on the surface of the globe by which various changes are proSuced in its constitution and external character." He then considers the nature of these changes and their analogy with those which must have occurred in earlier ages of the world's history, and adds, "until after a close investigation and the most liberal allowance for all possible variations, and art unlimited series of ages, they have been found wholly inadequate to the purpose, it would be unphilosophical to have recourse to any gratuitous and unexampled hypotheses for the solution of these analogous facts." But to return to the other writings of Mr. Scrope. In 1826 he communicated to the Edinburgh Journal of Science some " Obser- vations on Humboldt's Theory of the Volcano of Jorullo," and "On the volcanic formation of the left bank of the l~hine," and to the ' Quarterly Journal of Science' a "Descriptive arrangement of Vol- canic Rocks." In February 1830 his paper "On the gradual excavation of the valleys in which the Meuse, the Moselle, and some other rivers flow" was read to this Society. This was following up his views as to the excavation of the valleys of the Auvergne. Lyell and Murchison had, as I have already stated, followed Scrope's observations in that district, and confirmed their accuracy ; and it has been * cited as a remarkable instance of the convincing character of Scrope's work, that both the one and the other, though holding the most divergent opinions on all similar questions-- equally maintained in their latest writings the accuracy of his conclusions in the Auvergne district. In 1831 Mr. Poulett Scope, who had for some years been settled in the ancient family seat of the Scropes, of Wiltshire, Castle Combe, furnished this Society with a paper " On the rippled markings of many of the Forest-marble beds north of Bath, and the foot-tracks of certain animals occurring in great abundance on See Memoir of Mr. Poulett Serope, by g.

For already, in 1830, he had begun to neglect Geology for what he regarded as the more practical subjects of political and social economy. His opinions on the Poor-law, the Currency, Barking, and other questions were made public in a long series of pamphlets, reviews, and other contributions to the periodical literature of the day. His brother, Mr. Poulett Thomson, afterwards Lord Syden- ham, had been for some years in Parliament; and after the passing of the Reform Bill, Mr. Scrope was in 1833 returned as one of the members of the newly constituted borough of Stroud, which place he represented for 35 years, until his retirement in 1868. Though devoting himself mainly to political questions, he still occasionally found time for geological and antiquarian work. In 1835 he reviewed in the ' Quarterly' the third edition of his friend Lyell's 'Principles of Geology,' expressing his admiration for the author and agreement with him on almost all points, except the too vigorous application of the doctrine of uniformity in the series of geological changes. He was also more ready at that time than LyeU to accept the idea of progressive development with regard to organic forms. In 1856 he communicated to this Society a paper "On the formation of Craters and the nature of the liquidity of Lavas," in which he combated the famous Elevation-Crater theory of Hum- boldt, Yon Bach, and :l~lie de Beaumont. In 1857 he revisited Auvergne, in anticipation of the second edition of his ' Geology and Extinct Volcanos of Central France,' which was published in 1858. In 1859 he returned to the charge against the Elevation-Crater theory, then lately again brought into prominence by the publication of Humboldt's 'Kosmos,' and in another paper on the mode of formation of volcanic cones and craters confirmed the views of Sir Charles Lyell as displayed in his celebrated communication to the Royal Society, on the lavas of Mount Etna. It would ~ppear as ff in consequence of these joint efforts the unphflosophical character of the theory they attacked had since that time been universally acknowledged. Earlier in 1859 he had communicated to this Socie~ a paper "On the Lamination and Cleavage occasioned by the mutual friction of particles of rocks while in irregular motion," which he subsequently withdrew. In 1862 he superintended a new er of his work ' On Downloaded from http://jgslegacy.lyellcollection.org/ at University of Oregon on June 24, 2016

ANNIVERSARY ADDRESS OF THE PRESIDE:NT. 75 Volcanos,' with an enlarged description of all the known volcanos and volcanic formations of the globe. Since that time he has been a fl~quent contributor of papers of great interest to the pages of the ' Geologist' and its successor, the ' Geological Magazine.' In 1867 the richly deserved honour of the Wollaston Medal was awarded to him by the Council of this Society, in recognition of the highly important services he had rendered to Geology by his examination and published descriptions of the volcanic phenomena of Central France, and by his works on the subject of volcanic action generally throughout the world. Of his other writings may be mentioned the 'History of the Manor and Ancient Barony of Castle Combe, in the County of Writs,' which was printed for private circulation in 1852. It is a handsome 4to volume, with numerous illustrations, and full of historical research. Portions of the work had already appeared in the ' Wiltshire Magazine,' to which he was a frequent contributor having been for many years President of the Arch~eolo~cal and Natural-History Society of that county. Besides antiquarian papers, he furnished that Magazine with a popular essay "On the Geology of Wiltshire," and one "On the origin of the Terraces, Bulks, or Lynchers of the Chalk Downs," in which he combuted the "sea-beach" origin ascribed to them by Mr. D. Mackintosh. After relinquishing his seat in Parliament in 1868, he lived in complete retirement ; but,, though suffering from defective sight, he kept pace with the geological progress of the day, having in his old age found a solace in returning to the favonrite study of his youth. :Even within a few weeks of his death, a friendly con- troversy in the pages of ' Nature,' between him and the Presi- dent of the Royal Society, showed how unimpaired was still the activity of his mind, and how vivid was his remembrance of the scene of his early explorations. His kindly manner and courtesy endeared him to all who were brought into contact with him; and more than one of his surviving friends can testify to his readiness to assist them with more than mere words, and to the friendly and large-hearted liberality with which he stimulated and assisted younger labourers in his own domain. He died at Fairlawn, near Cobham, in Surrey, on the 19th of January last; and his remains are interred in the quiet country churchyard of Stoke d'Abernon.

76 PROCEEDII~'G8 OF THE 6EOLOGICAL8OC1ETY. must be mentioned another veteran, u ho was almost their contemporary, Sir WILL~M EDMO~D Lo~x~, F.R.S.* He was born in Montreal in 1798, of Scottish parents, and after commencing his education in Mr. Shakel's school, in that city, completed it at the :High School and University of Edin- burgh. On leaving college he entered the counting-house of his uncle, Mr. Hart Logan, in London, where he remained about ten years, and was even at that time attached to the study of geology. In 1829 he paid a visit to Canada; but returning the same year to this country, he settled at Swansea, and in partnership with Mr. Starling Benson he undertook the charge of some copper-smelting works and a colliery in which one of his uncles was interested. In 1834 he made a tour through France and Spain, visiting many of the mines in the latter country, and examining the fossiliferous beds of Touraine. While at Swansea he was an active promoter of the Royal Institution of South Wales, having been associated with our present Treasurer, Mr. J. Gwyn Jeffreys, as one of the Honorary Secretaries and the Curator of the geological department. He also collected a vast amount of geological information with regard to the South-Wales Coalfield, which he generously placed at the disposal of Sir Henry. De la Beehe, when he began the Geological Survey of the district. So excellent was his work that it was adopted by the Government Survey; and the name of Logan appears on the early maps of the district, in conjunction with those of De la Beche, l~amsay, Phillips, and Aveline. In 1837 he was elected a Fellow of this Society; and in 1838, on the death of his uncle, he resigned his position at Swansea, and devoted himself more completely to geological pursuits. His first geological paper was "On that part of the South Welsh Ccal :Easin, which lies between the Vale of Neath and Carmarthen Bay," which was communi(ated to the British Association in 1837. In 1840 his important paper " On the character of the beds of Clay lying immediately below the Coal-seams of South Wales, and on the occurrence of Coal-boulders in the Pennant Grit of that district," was read to this Sodety. In it he pointed out, for the first time, how each coal-seam rests on an underclay, with rootlets of Stigmaria in it, and suggested that this was the soil in which the Stigmaria grew~ and that * For many of the particulars in this memoir I am indebted to a paper by Dr. B.

the coal now stood in the place of the matted vegetation which grew upon that soil. It is needless to point out the value of this happy deduction. In order more fully to verify its general application, he visited America in 1841, and examined the coalfieldsof Pennsylvania and Nova Scotia, recording his observations in a paper published in our Proceedings, which also contains his remarks on the packing of ice in the river St. Lawrence, and on some geolo~cal phenomena he had noticed in the neighbourhood of Montreal. Whether it was in any degree owing to Mr. Poulett Scrope's brother (Lord Sydenham) having been Governor-General of Canada up to 1841, that a desire arose in the colony for the institution of a Geological Survey, it is now perhaps impossible to say. But early in 1842 a sum of s having been voted for the purpose, the appointment of a Provincial Geologist was referred to the late Earl of Derby, who, on the recommendation of M:urchison, De la Beche, Sedgwick, and Buckland, appointed Mr. Logan, whose name had already been mentioned by the Canadian authorities. In August, 1842, he arrived in Canada, and at his own expense spent several months in making a preliminary examination of the country, but returned to England to make his final arrangements. He was fortunate enough to secure the aid of Mr. Alexander Murray, who is now directing the Geological Survey of Newfound- land. He commenced his actual work in May 1843, his first business being to examine portions of the Coalfield of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. It was at this time that he made his celebrated Section of the Coal-measures of the South Joggins, which gives details of nearly the whole thiclmess of the coal formation of Nova Scotia, or 14,570 feet, including seventy-six beds of coal and ninety distinct Stigmaria-underclays. The summer and autumn of the same year he spent in examining the coast of the Gaspd Peninsula in order to determine whether any outlying patches of the Coal-measnres were there to be found; and the following summer he devoted to the Copper-bearing rocks of Lake Superior, where he discovered the same old chloritic slates which he had, in 1845, observed on Lake Temiscaming, and to which the name of Huronian has since been given. In subsequent years he studied the eastern parts of Canada, and 9in 1850 the gold-bearing di'ift of the Chaudi~re, but devoted much time to the collection of the specimens ~hich a~tmctcd so great an Downloaded from http://jgslegacy.lyellcollection.org/ at University of Oregon on June 24, 2016

He spent part of that year in England, rejoicing to meet his old geological friends; and the opportunity was taken of electing him a Fellow of the Royal Society, from which body he received one of the Royal Medals in 1867. He returned to Canada in August 1851, and continued the examination of the country on the north side of the St. Lawrence during the follo~ing years, and, in his Report of 1854, first desig- nated the rocks as Laurentian which had hitherto been only known as the Metamorphic Series or Fundamental Gneiss. He eventually showed how these rocks are older than the Hu- ronian, and that those two unconformable groups attain together to a thickness of not less than 30,000 feet. He was among the first to recognize the organic character of the Eozoo,~ canadense from this formation, and exhibited it as a fossil in 1857, some years before its true structure and affinities were determined by Dawson and Carpenter. In 1854 and 1855 his time was much taken up with prepara- tions for the Paris Exhibition, which he attended as one of the Canadian Commissioners. At Paris he was made a Chevalier of the Legion of Honour; and early in 1856 he received the honour of knighthood in this country. It was in that year that the Council of this Society awarded to him the Wollaston Medal, for his elaborate papers on the origin and structure of the Coal-beds in England, and for his subsequent labours in Canada in carrying out the Geo- logical Survey of that country, and particularly for his admirable Geological Map of Canada. On his return to Montreal the citizens presented him with a testimonial, and the Natural-History Society with an address, while the Members of the Canadian Institute of Toronto, of which Sir William Logan was the first President, had his portrait painted and hung up in their hall. In 1857, after the meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science at Montreal, at which he read papers "On the Huronian and Laurentian Series of Canada" and "On the sub- division of the Laurentian Rocks in Canada," he made a geological tour through the State of :New York in company with Professor Ramsay. His subsequent work, up to 1869 when he resigned his appointment to Mr. A. R. C. Selwyn, our Murchison MedaUist of this day, was mainly the preparatio.~l and publication of the 'Geology of Canada,' with its accompanying Atlas.

He found time, however, for work in the field, especially among the Laurentian rocks of Grenville and the Pictou Coalfield. The few remaining years of his life were occupied chiefly with a study of the rocks of the eastern townships of Canada, and of part of :New England; but the results of this portion of his labours have not been published. His difficulties in the conduct of the Geological Survey of Canada, especially during the first years of its existence, were enormous ; and nothing but the almost superhuman energy and industry which he exhibited in preparing his reports, and his tact in management, and great power of organization, would have carried him through to a successful result. By the strictest economy, by judicious choice of assistants, by the enlistment of volunteers in his service, and by directing his observations to points where the mineral resources of the colony were most likely to be rendered available, he converted an institution which had been looked on with but lukewarm interest at best, into one which is now among the most popular in the colony. In the words of the 'Daily Globe' of Toronto, in an article upon his retirement, "It may be safely said that from no other department of the administration have such results been obtained as from the Geological Survey .... Many times have Sir William Logan's statements, in reference to economical minerals, been questioned, sometimes even with what appeared at the moment to be justice. Experience, however, invariably proved him to be right. He has always wisely and prudently guarded his statements, so as to prevent reckless expenditure of money in unpro- ductive mines, while he has given all needful encouragement to reasonable and intelligent hopes of a financial return. It is something for him to say in leaving the Survey, that his statements have deceived no one, that not one dollar has been expended by reason of elwors or too sanguine statements on his part." Besides the papers already mentioned, he communicated to this Society, in 1852, one on the "Foot-prints occurring in the Potsdam Sandstone of Canada." Sir William also published several memoirs, in the ' Canadian Journal,' the' Canadian Naturalist,' and' Silli- man's Journal ;' but his reports alone would fill several volumes. Personally he was a man of frank simple manners, of great liberality, and earnestly devoted to his profession. :From his attach- menb to his native country of Canada, he declined the great in- ducements offered to him by the East-India Company, in 1845, to proceed to Indi~ with the view of investigating its resources in VOI.

It was the same liberal and patriotic feeling which led him to advance considerable sums of money from his private resources, in order that the operations of the Survey might not be interrupted in its early years. In 1864 he endowed the McGill University with the 'Logan Gold Medal' for an honour Course in Geology and Natural Science; and in 1871 he endowed the Logan Chair of Geology of that University with $19,000, f~ which his brother, Mr. Hart Logan, added another $1000. Sir William, who, like his four brothers, never married, died at Castle Malgwyn, Llechryd, South Wales, on the 22nd of June last.

Mons. GtRXR• PXUL DZS~YES was born May 24th, 1796, at Nancy, where his father was Professor of Experimental Physics in the ]~cole Centrale of the Department of la Meurthe. After studying in the Faculty of Medicine at Strasburg, where he obtained the first prize for anatomical dissection, he came to Paris about the year 1820, and took the degree of "Bachelier ~s lettres" in 1821. Abandoning the medical profession, he devoted himself to natural history, and especially to geology and conchology. His first memoir on any geological subject was published in 1823, its subject be'rag the fossil shells of Valmondois, between Pontoise and l'Isle Adam, where he had discovered several new and interesting species. He had already devoted much attention to the fossil shells of the Paris Basin, and in 1824 commenced, at his own risk and charges, his great work, the ' Description des coquilles fossiles des environs de Paris.' This work, for a time interrupted, owing to misfortunes in his family and pecuniary rlimculties, was brought to a conclusion in 1837. After twenty years of further study he returned to the subject in 1857, when he published the first part of his ' Descrip- tion des Animaux sans vert~bres ddcouverts dans le bassin de Paris,' which was completed in 1867. This study of the fossil Shells of the Paris Basin, their connexion with the strata in which they occur, and their sequence in time may, indeed, be regarded as the great work of his life. He had already arrived at the con- elusion that the fossil shells of the Tertiary Period might be grouped under three main divisions, when, as I have already stated, he was brought into contact with Sir Charles Lyel], whose investigations had led him to much the same result. Mons. Deshayes rendered Sir Charles most Valuable assistance by furnishing him with the Sta- tistical Tables which appeared in the ' Principles of Geology.' In 1833 he undertook the description of the Mollusca, both Downloaded from http://jgslegacy.lyellcollection.org/ at University of Oregon on June 24, 2016

recent and fossil, brought home by the scientific expedition to the Morea, and in 1834 performed the same task for the collection Of shells formed in India by M. Bdlanger. In 1839 he tiegan the publicatiofl of his ' Traitd ~ldmeatai~o de Conchyliologie, "avec l'application de cette science ~ la gdognosie,' which, however, was not finished until 1857. It was, indeed, hi 1839 that he ~sas selected by the Academy to take part in the labours of the scientific commission which was sent by the French go;cernment to Algeria. He remained in that country until 1842, not only collecting but making drawings of his specimens. The pubhcation of his"' Mol- lusques de l'Algdrie ' was unfortunately interrupted by the Revolu: tion of 1848, after 150 coloured plates and 600 pages of text had appeared. Jointly with M. Mflne-Edwards, M. Deshayes revised the ' I-Iistoh'e naturelle des animaux sans vert6bres' Of Lamarck: He also assisted in the publication of the 'Histoiro na~ur611a des Mollusques' of Fdrussac. Soon after his arrival in Paris he commenced giving pri~at~ lectures on geology, with occasional excursions in tho field. Among those who attended his classes may be mentioned Messrs. E: de Beaumont, D'Xrchiac, de Verneuil, Constant Prdvost, Desnoyers, and Hdbert. He was for many years a distinguished member of the Geolo-/ gical Society of France, of which he was one of the founders, and more than once the President; and in 1869 he was nominated Professor of Conchology at the Musdum d'Histoire l~aturelle at Paris. I-I_is fine private collection was purchased by the Frenctr Government in 1868, and deposited in the ~cole des Mines. Though the greater part of M. Deshayes's work was confined to France, the article "Conchifera" in Todd's Cyclopsedia of Anatomy and Physiology is attributed to his pen ; and he also commenced a catalogue of the blvalveshells in the British Museum, of which only the first part, relating to the Veneridse, was published. In 1836, under the presidency of Sir Charles Lye]], he received from our Society the proceeds of the Wollaston Fund to assist him in his labours on fossil conchology, and in 1856 and again in 1864 this same fund was awarded to him in testimony of the high value which this Society had always attributed to his labours, and in the hope that it might be of some use to him in the further prosecution of his important woi~k on: i he •ollusca of the Paris Basin. In 1870~ just 50 years after his arrival in Paris, the Wollaston medal was aws~rded to him as the highest honour the Council of this Society f 2 Downloaded from http://jgslegacy.lyellcollection.org/ at University of Oregon on June 24, 2016

In 1841 he was elected a Foreign Member of this Society. A translated abstract of one of his papers "on the fossil shells of the Pyrenees" will be found in our Journal ; and several of his papers are printed in the Proceedings of the Zoological Society. His other memoirs it is needless to cite. A list of upwards of 70 will be found in the Royal Society's Catalogue. In the winter os 1873 ~illng health induced him to quit Paris for the South of France; but in 1874 he still occupied himself with his duties at the Museum, and with another great work, the eNomenclator Malacozoologicus,' which he was not destined to see published. In the spring, however, of 1875 he retired to Boran, near the spot where he had collected the specimens on which his first memoir had been founded upwards of 50 years previously; and there he peaceably expired on the 9th June 1875, after 79 years of a life devoted to science.

Another name which we must this year include in our obituary iS that of Mr. WILLIAM JORY KEI~WOOD, F.R.S., to whom, at our last Anniversary Meeting, the Murchison Medal was presented. It will be remembered that, in consequence of ill health, he was unable to attend personally to receive it, and that it was conveyed to him through our Secretary, ~Ir. David Forbes. I have good grounds for believing that this recognition of the services of ]Hr. Henwood in the cause of Geology and Mineralogy, extending over a period of fifty years of laborious research, was a source of great sa~sfaction to him, and afforded him some solace in the midst of much physical suffering. He was born ~ at Perron Wharf, Cornwall, on the 16th of January, 1805, and was the son of Mr. John Henwood, a member of an old Cornish family, settled at Levalsa, in St. ~X~ze. His grandfather appears also to have taken an interest in mining matters, but unfortunately one that entailed considerable loss, as he became con- neeted with the first Cornish silver-mine, the "Huel Mexico," from which, though .s worth of ore was raised, yet the cost of raising it far exceeded its value. His father was for several years a clerk in the service of Messrs. Fox and Co., of Perron Wharf; and i~ was in their office that the * For most of this memoir I am indebted to Mr. W.

son began life, in 1822. Here he remained about five years. During this period the nature of his employment happily enabled him to commence those investigations into the metalliferous deposits of Cornwall and Devon which for the next fifty years were destined to occupy so much of his attention. His first underground visit to a mine was t~ the Wheal Her]and, in Gwinear, in 1825 ; and in the following year he communicated to the l~oyal Geological Society of Cornwall his first paper, being one "On a singular Extrication of Gas in the Union Mines." For the next thirty years his pen was constantly active, a list of no less than fl~y-five of his papers appearing in the Royal Society's Catalogue, and a still longer list in the ' Bibliotheca Cornubiensis.' In 1828 he was elected a Fellow of this Society, and he printed at Trure some "Observations on the performance of a Steam-engine recently erected at Huel Towan," which was reprinted, though anonymously, in the ' Edinburgh Journal of Science,' to which, as well as to other scientific periodicals, he was subsequently a frequent contributor. In 1832 Mr. Henwood was appointed to the office of Assay-master and Supervisor of Tin in the Duchy of Cornwall, an office which he held until the coinage-duties were abolished in 1838, when he retired on a pension. In 1832, he furnished this Society with notes " On some inter- sections of mineral veins in Cornwall." In 1837 he communicated to the I.ustitution of Civil ]~ngineers a paper " On the Expansive Action of Steam in some of the pumping-engines in the Cornish Mines," for which he was awarded a Telford Medal. In Feb- ruary 1840 he was elected a Fellow of the P~oyal Society, to which he communicated some experiments on the electric conditions of the rocks and metalliferous veins (lodes) of Longclose and Rose- wall-Hill Mines in Cornwall. In 1841 he communicated to this Society "A brief note to accompany a series of specimens from Lockport, near Niagara, in the State of New York," and "Notes to accompany a series of specimens from Chaleur Bay and the fiver Ristigouche, in :New Brunswick." In 1843 he left this country in order to take charge of the Gongo-Soeo Mines in Brazil, where he devoted much attention to the amelioration of the condition of the slaves by whom the mines were worked. Some account of the means which he adopted was published by him at Penzance in 1864. Downloaded from http://jgslegacy.lyellcollection.org/ at University of Oregon on June 24, 2016

From Brazil he proceeded to India, where in 1855 he drew up for the Indian Government a report on the metalliferous deposits of Kumaon and Gurhwal, which was published in the ' Indian Government Records,' and in the 'Edinburgh New Philosophical Journal." A second report on some iron formations in Bengal still slumbers in manuscript. In 1858, with impaired health, he retired from active labour, and spent the remainder of his life among his friends at Penzance. HIS most important memoirs, "On the ]~etalliferous Deposits of ~wall and Devon, with observations on subterranean temper- sture," "On the quantities 0f water which enter the mines," and "On the electric currents observed in the rocks and veins," together with a large amoun~ of statistical observations, had been published by the Royal Geological Socie~ of Cornwall in 1843, and had constituted the fifth volume of its transactions. The history of how this work was completed is highly creditable to all concerned. Mr. Henwood had hardly entered the service of Messrs. Fox before he commenced the study of the metalliferous deposits of Cornwall and Devon ; and for some time he was com- imlled to restTict his investigations to a limited district. In 1828, however, his employers enabled him to prosecute his researches over a larger area and with greater activity. As his own pectmiary resources were not sufficient, the gentry of the county subscribed a sum of abofit .~200 to aid Mr. Henwoed in carrying out his self- imposed task, while the Society undertook the publication of tho results of his valuable labours. Before leaving this country his researches had been mainly confined to Cornwall ; but by his visit to Brazil and India Fir. Henwood had been enabled to prosecute his studies over a more ex~ensive field of observation; and on his return to ~ngland in 1858, his mind was enriched with information which he had acquired in every part of the world devoted to mining operations. His second volume on metalliferous deposits, published, like its predecessor, by the Royal Geological Society of Cornwall, was so far widened as to comprehend observations on iron, copper, silver, and other metals discovered in the F~ast and West Indies, North and South America, and the whole of Europe. The publication of these volumes was eagerly welcomed by the geological students of the Continent, as well as os our own country; and it was a constant source of con- gratulation to the unwearied author that he had lived to see the ~uccessful completion of his. toils, ' " ....

The pages of the Journal of the Royal Institution of Cornwall had been for many years open to his contributions ; and in 1870 the members of that body showed their appreciation of his labours by electing him to the Presidential Chair. Although at this date he was much enfeebled in health, he discharged the duties of his office with untiring vigour, and presented ~o the Society several addresses, compiled with the greatest care and attention, on subjects which had occupied his thoughts for many years. The portion of his Address in 1871 which related to metalliferous deposits was reprinted by the Miners' Association of Cornwall and Devon, and afterwards translated into French and published in the ' Annales des Mines.' A paper which he contributed to the same Society in 1874, on the Detrital Tin-ore of Cornwall, was also published in France entire, in the ' Annales des Mines,' and extracts from it in: a separate form by M. Ze/ller. Of the award of the Murchison Medal to Mr. Henwood, in re- cogni~on of his long-continued and valuable researches, I have already spoken. It only remains to add that he was never married, and that his death, which was sudden though not unexpected, took place at Penzance on the 5th of August last.

By the death of Mr. WILI~IAM SANDERS,I~.t~.S., on the 12th of November, 1875, the Society has lost another of its early members, and one who for upwards of forty years of his life was intimately associated with the most distinguished men connectedwith geological science. Mr. Sanders, who was born on the 12th of January, 1799, was a native of Bristol; and to the study of the geology of the neigh- bottring country he devoted his life. At the commencement of his scientific career he was the ~riend and companion of Prof. Phillips in his Geological Survey of North Devon and Cornwall. But his principal work was the preparation and construction of an elaborate geological map of the distric~ comprised within the Gloucestershire and Somersetshire Coal-field,. on the scale of four inches to the mile. This work, which extended over fifteen years, was undertaken at the instigation of Sir Henry De la Beche and Prof. Phillips. Besides this map, he published some measured sections of the extensive cuttings on the Bristol and Exeter :Railway, and on the line from Bristol to Bath. On these sections, which were drawn to scale, every detail, however minute, that wa~ of any Physical or Paleontological importance, i~ Downloaded from http://jgslegacy.lyellcollection.org/ at University of Oregon on June 24, 2016

Mr. Sanders, by his intimate knowledge of the Mendip area, was able to render valuable assistance to his native town in connexion with its water-supply, and also during the survey of the city with reference to its sanitary condition. He was also for upwards of thirty years the :Honorary Secretary to the Museum of :Natural History attached to the Philosophical Society and Institution of Bristol, and spared neither time, trouble, nor expense in carrying out its legitimabe objects. Those who visited Bristol at the last meeting of the British Association will remember the just pride which betook in the geological collections in the Museum. Mr. Sanders was also an ardent student of Mineralogy and well versed in Crystallography. lie became a Fellow of this Socle~ in 1839, and of the Royal Society in 1864. Several papers on geological subjects were read by him before the British Association between the years 1840 and 1849 ; but during his 36 years of Fellowship Mr. Sanders did not communicate any memoir to this Society.

The Venerable Archdeacon W. :EuwxRD Holy was elected into this Society no less than sixty-three years ago, in the year 1813, his certificate being signed by G. B. Greenough, H. D. Conybeare, 1-[. Grey Bennett, and W. l~ashleigh. He was at that time a Fellow of :Exeter College, Oxford ; and six years ]at.er we find his name among the proposers of Sir Charles Lyell, who, it will be remembered, was also of the same college. The only scientific paper of which he appears to have been the author, consisted of "Geological Remarks on the vlchfity of Maestricht," com_municated to this Society 1814, and published in our Transactions.

The Right ]=Ion. Sir :E~wx~l) RY~.~, F.R.S., was a :Fellow of this Society for a period of nearly thirty years, having been elected in 1846. Though he never communicated any paper to our publications, he took a warm interest in the progress of Geology, as well as in that of other sciences, lie was bern in the year 1793, and having taken his degree at Cambridge in 1814, was called to the bar in 1817. In 1826 he received the appointment of Puisne Judge of the Supreme Court of Calcutta, and in 1833 that of Chief Justice of the Presidency, which he held until 1843, when he returned to :England. :His resignation of the Chief Downloaded from http://jgslegacy.lyellcollection.org/ at University of Oregon on June 24, 2016

Justiceship did not, however, involve his retirement from public life; for, within a short time of his arrival in :England, he became a member of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, a Rail- way Commissioner, and Assistant Comptroller of the Exchequer. In 1855 he became a member of the firs~ Board of Civil-Service Commissioners, of which body he was for many years the guiding spirit. He was also one of the Vice-Chancellors of the University of London, in the welfare of which he took the warmest interest. His death took place on the 22nd of August last, after a short illness, and within six months of the time when he followed the remains of his old and attached friend Sir Charles Lyell to their resting-place in Westminster Abbey.

Colonel l~. Bxi~l) S~i~r, C.B., of the Bengal Engineers, was elected a Fellow of this Society in 1845, having already, in 1842, communicated a memoir to our Proceedings, "On the Structure of the Delta of the Ganges, exhibited by the boring-operations in Fort William, 1836-40." His other geological papers, "On the crystal- ]he structure of the Trap Dykes of the Sienite of Amboor, with an inquiry into the causes to which this peculiarity of certain igneous rocks is due," "Notes illustrative of the Geology of Southern India," "Economic Geology," and various memoirs on ea~hquakes, are published in the' Madras Journal,' the ' Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal,' and the ' Calcutta Journal of Natural History.'

Mr. T. G. B. LLo~1), who was, until quite recently, a frequent attendant at our meetings, and who was well known to, and greatly esteemed by man)- of our Fellows, died on the 3rd of the present month. Mr. Lloyd was the eldest son of Dr. Lloyd, of Bir- mingham, a very old Fellow of this Society, and was born on the 15th August, 1829. He adopted the profession of a Civil Engineer, and was engaged in railway construction and surveying in Spain and in the United States and Canada. During the last three years of his life he was occupied in surveying lands in Newfound- land, in search of mineral property; and his companion in two of these expeditions, :Mr. John Milne, F.G.S., communicated to this Society the geological results of their joint investigations. :Mr. Lloyd's own contributions to our Proceedings consist of a valuable paper "On the superficial Deposits of portions of the Avon and Severn Valleys and adjoining districts," published in the Journal for 1870, and some "Geological notes from the State of New York," an abstract of which was passing through the press at the Downloaded from http://jgslegacy.lyellcollection.org/ at University of Oregon on June 24, 2016

During his visits to Newfoundland Mr. Lloyd took great interest in the investigation of the scanty documents and tradibious relating to the extinct Beo~hucs, or Red Indians of that island, and of the few material traces of their existence still extant; and upon these researches he founded three very interesting papers which were communicated to tho Anthropological Institute and published in their Proceedings. He had also made considerable progress in an investigation of the characters of recent and fossil beavers;but his materials upon this subject are left in an in- complete state. He became a Fellow of this Society in 1864.

Mr. NA~~ PuT, F.R.G.S., was born at Leicester in 1832. After leaving school, his taste for natural history led to his appointment as Curator to the Museum of the Philosophical and Literary Society in that town, which office he held about five years. Desiring, however, to learn something more of the great world of nature than could be found in a provincial museum, he went abroad in the year 1851, to Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, and for fifteen years was actively engaged in collecting specimens of natural history, and in mining and geological explorations, during which 6~ne he discovered the existence of valuable minerals, ores, and coal in that part of Brazil. The President of Rio Grande do Sul procured for him an official appointment to draw up reports upon the mineral resources of the province, which were published in the Rio- Grande papers. They include descriptions of porphyries, copper, ironstone, petroleum-shale, and coal. He completed a report upon the great coal-deposit at Candiota. Prof. Agassiz, when at Rio- de Janeiro, examined the fossils obtained from this coal-basin, and determined their similarity to those of Cape Breton ; an account of these coals and fossils is published in our Journal. On his return to England in 1867, he was elected a Fellow of this Society, and became occupied with a futile endeavour to make the coal-deposits of service to the mercantile commerce of Brazil. :He died in London in August 1875, at the age of 43.

Mr. ]~Axc~s WATso~ TAT~ SCOTT,who was elected a Fellow of this Society in 1852, was born at Be]ford in Northumberland, in September 1814. When eighteen years of age he removed to New- castle-on-Tyne, where he entered the offices of Mr. Sopwith to learn the profession of a Mining :Engineer and Surveyor, which he practised for several years in Newcastle. In 1845 he came to London, continuing in the active exercise of his profession untii Downloaded from http://jgslegacy.lyellcollection.org/ at University of Oregon on June 24, 2016

ANNIVERSARY ADDRR~S O~ THE PRESIDENT, 89 his death, which took place when engaged in mining business in Shropshire, on April 6, 1875. He was remarkable for extreme accuracy in whatever he undertook ; his strict integrity gained him confidence and esteem ; and hisprivate character was of great amiability. He frequently at~ tended the Meetings of the Society; and a communication made by him in May 1861, "On the ' Symon Fault' in the Coalbrook- Dale Coalfield" (see Quart. dourn. Geol. Soc. vol. xvii.), shows how carefully he applied his geological knowledge to praotical m~nlng,

Mr. Ja~s M_tm)~Tolr formerly Principal of the College at Agra, who was elected a Fellow of this Society in 1844, died in the early part of last year. His activity lay principally in the direction of chemistry; and his chief researches related to the presence of fluoride of calcium in bones both recent and fossil. Upon this subject he communicated papers to the Chemical Society and to the ' Philosophical Magazine' in 1843 and 1844; and his sole contribution to the publications of this Society, which was read in the latter year, is "On Fluorine in Bones, its Source and its application to the determination of the Geological Age of Fossil Bones." In this paper he gave the analysis of certain fossil bones and of the bone of a Greek, the age of which could be fixed at about 2000 years, and showed that the amount of fluoride of calcium contained in them increased with their antiquity, being probably derived from water in contact with the bones. :From this he inferred the age of the Sewalik fossils to be about 7700 years, and that of an AnoTlotherium about 24,200 years, lVIr. l~iiddleton further communicated a paper " On the Specific Gravity of Sea- water" to the Asiatic Society of Bengal, of which he was a member, and an analysis of a cobalt ore from Western India to the Chemical Society.

Mr. FI~DERICK ERASMUS EDWARDS must receive some mention at my hands in this catalogue of our losses during the past year, although he had retired from the Society for some time before his death, which occurred on the 15th October last. Mr. Edwards, who was born on the 1st October 1799, was one of the founders of the old "London-Clay Club," from which the "Pal~eontographical Society" originated ; and to the memoirs published by the latter he contributed those valuable monographs on the Eocene •ollusca which are so well known to geologists, The publication of these corn1 Downloaded from http://jgslegacy.lyellcollection.org/ at University of Oregon on June 24, 2016

Mr. Edwards also communicated papers on fossil Eocene ~[ollusca to the' London Geologi- cal Magazine,' the ' Gcolo~st,' and the ' Geolo~cal Magazine,' but never eontribut~ any thing to our 'Proceedings.' He became a Fellow of this Society in 1836, and resigned his Fellowship in 1841 ; joined us again in 1861, and finally withdrew in 1871. His large collections have been secured for the British Museum.

There is yet another geological veteran of whose loss some notice ought to be taken, though at the time of his decease he had retired from this Society. I mean Mr. N~T~T. TKO~S Wmm:E~.T.~ who was well known to many of our body, and who, on more than one occasion, contributed papers to our Proceedings. He was a Member of the old "London-Clay Club," and devoted particular attention to the fossils of the London Clay, especially to those found to the north of London, and also to the fossils of the Glacial Drift deposits of FincMey and Muswell Hill. The collection he formed from the latter localities is now in the Jermyn-Street Museum, while the greater part of his extensive collection from the London Clay has been secured for the British Museum. The papers he communicated to this Society were :--" Observa- tions on the London Clay of Highgate Archway," 1832 ; "On an OThiura found at Child's Hill, to the north-west of Hampstead," 1833 ; "Observations on a Well dug on the south side of Haml>- stead Heath," 1834; "A notice of some undescribed Organic Remains which have been recently discove~l in the London Clay Formation," 1839 ; "On a species of the genus Bulimus occurring in the London Clay of Primrose Hill," 1846 ; and "On the occur- ence of Graphularia Wetherdlii in nodules from the London Clay and the Crag," 1858. In addition to these, Mr. Wetherell furnished numerous papers to the' Magazine of Natural :History,' the ' Philosophical Magazine,' the ' Geologist,' the ' Geological Magazine,' and to the Proceedings of the Geologists' Association. They relate for the most part to discoveries in his favourite formation, the London Clay, though occasionally his investigations went as low as the Chalk and the Greensand. He died at his residence at Highgate, where he was in the practice of the medical profession, on December 22, 1875.

ANN1TERSAR~ ADDRESS OF TltE PRESIDENT, 9i At our last Anniversary, when I had the honour of addressing you from this Chair, we had but recently been installed in these apart- ments, and I took occasion to institute some comparisons between the condition of our Society at that time and its position some forty-slx years previously, when first it removed to Somerset House. ~[y retrospect must to-day be confined to the past year, during which, as you have already heard, we have lost so many and such valued Members; and I shall, in the few remarks which it is my duty to address to you, direct your attention to the present and the future rather than to the past: and first I would speak as to the main objects which it appears to me that this Society ought to have in view, and the means at its command for attaining them. We constitute, in the words of our Charter, " a Society for investigating the Mineral Structure of the Earth ;" and certainly, if we compare the present state of Geological science with that of the year 1825, when our Charter was granted, and consider the proportion of the advance in knowledge which during the last fifty years has been due to the labours of Fellows of this Society, it must be conceded that its existence has not been in vain. This very advance in knowledge, however, in some measure appears to have a deterrent effect upon those who are entering upon Geological pursuits. The field is so great, and has been so laboriously worked, that it seems impossible for any one mind to grasp its whole extent ; and it is not every one who can content himself with limiting his researches to some single special department. There appear, moreover, to be no longer any of those grand discoveries to be made which gladdened the heart of many of our earlier Geologists, and returned them so ample a reward for their labours. And, further, the recognition by the State of the importance of Geology in connexion with the material prosperity of the country has called into existence a body of trained Geologists, who are devoting their entire life and energies te the subject, and with whose knowledge and experience it appears to the amateur, when first beginning his studies, that it will ever be utterly impos~ sible to compete. In all this there is, no doubt, a certain amount of truth; but practically these objections will be found but of little weight; for experience has shown, and I trust will long continue to show, that the difficulties which so forcibly present themselves to the mind of the beginner are for the most part apparent rather than real, and, where real, are by no means insurmountable. We find as a fact that great discoveries in Geology are still being made, and that there is ample room in the field for those to whom the Downloaded from http://jgslegacy.lyellcollection.org/ at University of Oregon on June 24, 2016

There is, moreover, no real competition between the two class~ of investigators ; and while those who have had the greater scientific and professional training are+in all eases ready to lend a helping hand to the amateur Geologist, there axe none more willing to ac- knowledge the value and importance of the corps of volunteers from whose local or general knowledge they have so often derived benefit, and whose labours have so frequently and materially less- ened their own. It is not, of course, to those among ua who have for years been Fellows of tmr Society, and to +whom so much honour is due for their researches, that any such remarks as these are dii'eeted. It is rather to those who in such large numbers have lately joined our body, and to those who are still doubtful as to the advantage of doing so, that I address myself ; and I do so in the hope of encourag~.ng them to persevere in their study of our subject, and of inducing some of them, at all events, to join in the number of those who contribute memoirs to our Proceedings. Tim Society is much to be congratulated on the large a~c~ion to its numbers which has of late years taken place; for one of our main obiects ought ever to be to foster and perpetuate the taste for Geology throughout the country, and to facilitate the entry of all deserving stu. dents into our body. Young Geologists must not, however, expec~ that it lies within the province of the Society directly to impart elementary knowledge. Our meetings are held for the purpose of having new facts, or new views of the bearing of admitted facts, or corrections of important errors, brought before us for discussion, and not for mere elementary instruction, though many of us could probably testify as to how much may be incidentally learned through a constant a~nd- ance at our meetings. Another great advantage our Soeiety affords is that of enabling those who are interested in the same pursuit to meet together at stated intervals, and to form acquaintance with each other. There is, I believe, no be~er means of advancing the interests of a science than that friendly intercourse between it~ followers which, I venture to say, is one of the most excellent characteristics of this Society. Another of the means at our command is the possession of a well-stored Library, the contents of which axe accessible to all our Members, and the due sustentation of which appears to me by no means the least important of our functions. We pessess at the present +time about 10,000 volumes, and are yearly adding about 300 to the number, either as presents, or by Downloaded from http://jgslegacy.lyellcollection.org/ at University of Oregon on June 24, 2016

~NrV~RS~T ADDRESS oF ~ P~Sn~ENT. 93 means Of exchange of our own publications, or by purchase. It is here that the beginner will find accumulated stores of knowledge for his assistance; while, should those of more experience point out defi- ciencies on our shelves, there can be but few Ways in which the funds of the Society could be better employed than in making them good. Our ~[useum * is intended rather for a repository of specimens illustrative of papers read before the Society and of foreign Geology than for the general purposes of a Geological Museum. The pro. pinquity of the British collections in the 3ermyn-Street Museum, and the collections so readily accessible in the British Museum, render the existence of a third Museum of the same character unnecessary. There are, however, in our cabinets many specimens of interest in connexion with the history of Geology ; as, for instance, the fossils figured and described in ' Sfluria,' and in some of Sir Roderick Murehison's other writings, and specimens illustrative of classical memoirs by Webster, Fitton, Buckland, Mantell, and others. We have also more than one collection of typical specimens. The way in which our Museum may be made of most service in advancing our science will be by our Fellows enriching it with foreign specimens, and thus rendering it more complete in a department which is beside the purpose of one of our national museums, and which, so far as geographical arrangement is concerned, is of secondary importance in the other. For the advancement of knowledge, however, our publications must take the first place ; and the reputation which our Quarterly ~[ournal bears abroad affords good evidence of its value. To perpetuate its high character, not only must a judicious selection be made from the papers submitted to the Society, but illustrations must be provided with no niggardly hand. With regard to the former point, it will be well for Fellows to bear in mind that many communications of great local value may not be of sufficient general interest to render their publication in extenso desirable, and that purely speculative questions, however well adapted to raise an in= terestlng discussion, are, like those relating to merely elementary matters, hardly within the scope of the Society's Journal, For questions of temporary interest the pages of the Geological Maga- zine and other scienti~c serials are always open; while the excellent publications of the Pal~eontographical Society relieve us of a

duty which we might find some difficulty in fulfilling. - 9For an interesting notice of the Museum of the Society, see ' Nature,' Jan. 20, 1876. Downloaded from http://jgslegacy.lyellcollection.org/ at University of Oregon on June 24, 2016

AS s~imu]ants and rewards to those who are engaged in investigating the mineral st~ucture of the earth, the medals and funds which our former chiefs, Wollaston, ~urchison, and Lyell, have left at our disposal, and that which our venerable member Dr. Bigaby has just founded, are of the highest value. While the medals are justly regarded as among the great~_~..t honours to which a geologist can aspire, the Donation Funds may, and, I hope, generally do combine a complimentary appreciation of a fellow-worker's labours, with a not unwelcome aid in prosecuting them. We have, then, at our command much that will forward the interests of our science; but what are its present prospects ? what is being done in its behalf ? in what manner are recent discoveries in other branches of knowledge likely to affect it ? and in what direction are future discoveries likely ~o be made, and the conclusions modified which are at the present time generally accept~)d ? He would be a bold man indeed who would venture to answer these la~er questions wi~h any degree of assurance; and yet, in considering what is going on around us, we cannot altogether re- frain from some prognosficat~ions of the future. I, co~ng, for instance, at those researches into Solar Physics which the marvellous powers of spectrum analysis and solar photography have rendered possible, and with which the names of 3~r. Norman Lockyer and Mr. Warren De la Rue are so intimately associated, who cannot but feel that they have a close and intimate bearing upon the early history of the earth ? Prof. Prcstwich, in his Inaugural Lecture at Oxford on the Past and Future of Geology, has, with the aid of Mr. Lockyer, discussed this subject at some length. I need, therefore, but briefly state one or ~wo of the principal points referred to, and call a~enton ~o the inferences which they suggest. In the first place, the resemblance in the consfit-ufion of the sun and of the earth is such as ~o support the view that, in the main, they consist of the same elements. Out of the sixt~-four ~errest,Tial elements, twenty have been traced in those parbs of the solar atanosphere which are known as the ' chromosphere' and the reversing layer. Nor, with possibly two exceptions, does the spectroscope afford any indication of unknown elements. Butt in the next place, throughout the solar atmosphere, which is of enormous height, and consists of hydrogen and of metallic elements in a gaseous s~a~e, there is a tendency for the various vapours to arrange themselves in layers in an order which Mr. I, eekyer finds to correspond with the old atomic or combining weights, and not with Downloaded from http://jgslegacy.lyellcollection.org/ at University of Oregon on June 24, 2016

ANNIVERS• ADDRESS OF THE PRESIDENT. ~5 the new. He has found reason to suppose that the metalloids or non-metalllc elements are, as a group, placed outside the metallic atmosphere of the sun ; while the metals of the tungsten, antimony, silver, and gold classes, have not as yet been traced. His sugges- tion with regard to the probable structure of the crust and nucleus of the earth is, that owing to the localization of the elements as before mentioned, they would, on cooling, occupy to a great extent the same relative positions as they did when in the gaseous state. We should thus find oxygen, silicon, and other metalloids, which once formed an outer atmosphere, combined mainly with the higher metals to form a crust; lower down would be iron and its associated group of metals;and, finally, an inner nucleus, containing the other and denser metals, not attacked by any metalloid, because the higher metals had already had the opportunity of combining with them. Profi Prestwich considers that the relations of the two great classes of fundamental igneous rocks which underlie the sedimentary strata, and which formed originally the outer layers of the crust, afford evidence of the correctness of this hypothesis. If, as appears to be the case, there exists an upper layer of granite and other Phtonic rocks rich in silica, with a moderate proportion of alumina, and poor in iron and magnesia, and a second layer consisting of a lower mass of basaltic and volcanic rocks of greater specific gravity, with silica in smaller proportions, alumina in equal, and iron, lime, and magnesia in much larger proportions--if in the lower layer these elements are mixed with a greater variety of others, as occasional constituents, than are found in the upper layer--and if the denser metals are found in much larger proportion in the more central portion of the nucleus than in the outer crust, .all these phenomena would be in accordance with such an origin. If such a view of the origin of the crust of the earth were accepted, it would materially strengthen the assumption that the fluidity of those volcanic rocks, which still from time to time are ejected upon the surface of the earth, is not due to any recent chemical or mechanical cause, but may rather be traced to their original heat at the time of their passing from the gaseous state. If, however, matter still retaining its original fluidity exists in the manner here supposed, it is impossible to reconcile such a state of things with the generally accepted conclusions of our most distinguished mathematicians and astronomers as to the present constitution of the earth and the thickness of its crust. It is true that such a question relates rather to cosmogony than geology ; but the nature of the inner constitution vo]:. xxx~t, g Downloaded from http://jgslegacy.lyellcollection.org/ at University of Oregon on June 24, 2016

The enormous elevations and depressions of the surface which have taken place all over the globe, the vast faults and dislocations of the strata, the contortion and occasional inversion of beds of great thickness, and many other geological phenomena seem more in accordance with a comparatively thin and yielding crust, than with one of such great rigidity and thickness as to satisfy the requirements of Mr. Hopkins or Sir William Thomson. Nor is it only with regard to theoretical considerations as to the pristine condition of our globe, that spectrum-analysis, to which our knowledge of Solar Physics is mainly due, seems likely to prove of service to those engaged in geological and mineralogical investigations. To the metallurgist especially it is by no means improbable that it may even~ally become almost indispensable, as it may, in the examination of metals, make known the presence of foreign elements when in such minute quantities as to be almost beyond the reach of the ordinary methods of analysis. At present, however, the researches in this direction have been, in the main, confined to the examination of gold; but the success of one of our Fellows, ~fr. W. Chandler Roberts, F.I~.S., in the quantitative analysis of gold-copper alloys, justifies a hope that the process may ero long be found of useful application in other eases, as, for instance, in that of argentiferous lead. The researches of modern chemistry and the greater facilities now afforded for exact microscopic observations bear so evident a relationship to the advancement of mineralogical knowledge that I need hardly mention them among the sources to which we may look for accessions to the domain of our science. Some of the discoveries, however, which have been made during the cruise of the ' ChaI- lenger'suggest the imperative necessity of laying the utmost importance on chemical considerations, even when seeldng to account for the existence of what appear to be ordinary sedime~atary deposits. The remarkable correspondence between the white, or Globigerina~- ooze, of the Atlantic and Southern Seas and our Upper Chalk is of course well known, though recent discoverlea have thrown much additional light upon the subject. So long ago as 1849, Sir Charles Lye]/, in his ' Second visit to the United States,' related an alleedote in connexion with this subject which it may be worth while to Downloaded from http://jgslegacy.lyellcollection.org/ at University of Oregon on June 24, 2016

ANI~IY~RSARY ADDRR~S OF THE PRESIDENT. ~

repeat. He mentions how, in the Museum at Washlngbn, he saw a number of objects collected by the Exploring Expedition con- ducted by Capt. Wilkes,--among them masses of limestone found in recent coral reefs, one of which, as white and soft as chalk, had been brought from the Sandwich Islands, and might have been mistaken for a piece of Shakespeare's cliff near Dover. It reminded Sir Charles that an English friend, a Professor of political economy, met him about fifteen years previously on the beach at Dover after he had just read the ' Principles of Geology.' "Show me," hc ex- claimed, "masses of pure white rock like the substance of these cliffs, in the act of growing in the ocean over areas as large as France or England, and I will believe all your theory of modern causes." ~' Since that time," wrote Sir Charles, "we have obtained data for inferring that the growth of corals and the deposition of chalk-like calcareous mud is actually going on over much wider areas than the whole of Europe ; so that I am now entitled to claim my incredulous friend as a proselyte." But we now find modern causes at work reproducing other old rocks than those of the nature of the Upper Chalk. Prof. Wyville Thomson tells us that during the southern cruise of the ' Challenger ' the sounding-lead brought up no less than five absolutely distinct kinds of sea-bottom, without taking into account the stony deposits in the neighbourhood of land. Of these, one consists of volcanic mud and sand; while the other four appear to be of l~urely organic origin, and, though for the most part differing greatly in character, seem all to be in process of deposition at the present time. These organic deposits are as follows :-- A. A greenish sand which, on examination with the microscope, is found to consist almost exclusively of the casts of Foraminifera in one of the complex silicates of alumina, iron, and potash--probably some form of glauconite. Globigerina, Orbulina," and BuZ- vinullna are represented in the cash, but lint in such abundance as Miliola, Biloculina, and several other forms. This kind of bottom was found but rarely, the two soundings mentioned being 98 and 150 fathoms ; and the deposit is regarded as evidently exceptional, and depending on some peculiar local conditions. B. " GZobigerina-ooze," consisting of little else than the shells of Glob~gerina, whole, or more or less broken up, with a small proportion of the shells of Bulvinulina and of Orbuli~a, and the spines and tests of t~adiolarians, and fragments of the spicules of sponges. At times ~here is an admixture of fine granular matter, g2 Downloaded from http://jgslegacy.lyellcollection.org/ at University of Oregon on June 24, 2016

9~ PROCEEDINGS OF THE GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY. filling the shells and tho interstices between them, which, under a high power of the microscope, is found te consist of "coccoliths" and "rhabdoliths," the remains of those singular organisms "cocco- spheres" and "rhabdospheres," which are found to live abundantly at the surface, especially in the warmer seas. The Glob~eri'na- ooze is rarely met with at a depth exceeding 2250 fathoms. At a greater depth it was found, almost universally, that the calcareous formation gradually passes into and is finally replaced by D, an extremely fine pure red clay, which occupies over large areas all depths below 2500 fathoms, and eonsis~ almost en~rely of alumina and a silicate of the red oxide of iron. The transition from the (~lobigerina-oozeinto this class of deposits is very slow, and extends over several hundred fathoms of increasing depth, the shells gradually losing their sharpness, and assuming a kind of rot~en look and a brownish colour. They also become more and more mixed with a fine amorphous red-brown powder, which increases steadily in proportion until the lime has almost entirely disappeared. Intermediate between the white Globigerina-ooze (B) and the red clay (D) is a grey ooze (C), which appears to be rather a transition- bed than one with such well-defined characteristics as B and D. It occurs at an average depth of 2400 fathoms, but is also occasionally found at considerably greater depths. One of the remarkable features in the case is the largo area over which the red clay (D) is being deposited. Between the island of Teneriffe and Sombrero, a distance of about 2700 miles, there was a tract of 1900 miles over which the soundings gave red clay, and of only about 720 miles where they brought up G/o- biger/na-0oze. As to the origin of the red clay, Prof. Wyville Thomson considers that there is little reason to doubt that it consists of the insoluble portion of the same calcareous organisms the remains of which constitute the Glo5igerina-ooze---the soluble portion, consisting of about 98 per cent. of carbonate of lime, having in some manner been removed. Though the exact mode in which this has been effected seems at present involved in mystery, he suggests that a great part of the bottom water in the deep troughs in which the red clay occurs was last at the surface in the form of circumpolar freshwater ice, which though fully charged with carbonic acid, may possibly have been comparatively free from carbonate of lime, so that its solvent power was thus greater. Dr. Carpenter, while agreeing with Prof, Wyville Thomson that Downloaded from http://jgslegacy.lyellcollection.org/ at University of Oregon on June 24, 2016

solution by carbonic acid is the most probable reason for the dis- appearance of calcareous shells in a deep-sea deposit, where no mechanical action can be invoked, cites the observations of our Fellow, Mr. tt. C. Sorby, F.R.S., on the increase of solvent power for car, bonate of lime possessed by water under greatly augmented pres, sure ; and certainly under a pressure of from 500 to 600 atmospheres, or upwards of three tons to the inch, this cause might well apply. Dr. Carpenter doubts, however, whether the relation between the red clay and the depth of the sea is so constant or universal as is thought by Prof. Wyville Thomson--and, what is more important, is inclined to disbelieve in the existence of insoluble argillaceous matter, even to the extent of two per cent., in the calcareous shells from which the Globigerina-ooze is derived. He considers that its presence is more probably due to a 2ost-mortem deposit in the chambers of Foraminifera than to the appropriation of the material for the clay by the living animals for the formation of their shells. In support of this view, he calls attention to the replacement of the sarcodic bodies of the animals--such as is now going on in the dis- triers where the deposit A is being formed, and which Prof. Ehren- berg pointed out, in 1853, had also taken place at the period of the Greensand formation,hand shows that not improbably the glauconite may have been converted into clay in the presence of an excess of carbonic acid. It is possible that both causes may have been at work, and that, while the calcareous shells have not been composed of carbonate of lime absolutely free from any iron, silica, or alumina, yet that during the decomposition of the sarcode after death a certain amount of glauconite was deposited, itself to be eventually metamorphosed into clay. However this may have been, we have this important discovery laid before us, that there are existing causes at work which at a great distance from land, and without the aid of any transported sediment arising from denudation, suffice for the tranquil deposition of beds of red clay on the bottom of a deep sea, these beds shading off under different circumstances into deposits closely resembling our Lower and Upper Chalk and Upper Greensand formations. It will be for the geologist to determinG whether not only these rocks, but; others of older date, and especially Clays and Slates, may not have their origin assigned to the action of similar causes. It has long been known that many, if not most, of the beds of red clay overlying the Chalk and various Limestone formations were the insoluble residue of the rock left near the surface, after the cal- Downloaded from http://jgslegacy.lyellcollection.org/ at University of Oregon on June 24, 2016

It has also been noted that these argillaceous beds were more fully developed in some places than in others. Confining ourselves for the moment to the Cretaceous rocks, we may now, I think, connect, within certain limits, the amount of clay present in any case with the depth and the circumstances under which the rocks were deposited, and find reason for supposing, until some good evidence is produced to the contrary, that the grey chalk which, from the amount of al, m~na present, produces, when burnt, an hydraulic lime, owes its properties to the depth of the ocean under which it was formed, and to the amount of Polar water with which it was brought into contact, and that the white Chalk over which the red clay, or " chemical drift," as it has been termed, appears in greatest force, may have been deposited in deeper water than that over which it is found but in minute quantity. We may further connect the Greensand, the careful microscopic examl- nation of which will no doubt be renewed, with those shallower and peculiar oceanic conditions under which the deposit of glauconite during the decomposition of organic matter seems most readily to take place. Which of the older red clays are of chemical and not of sedimentary origin, and whether there are any blue or green clays which owe their existence to similar causes, but in which the oxidation of the contained iron has, for some reason, not proceeded so far, are questions for the chemical geologist. Professor Huxley has already called attention to the importance of this discovery with regard to the earliest known formations, and pointed out how unsafe is the inference from the absence of recognizable organisms in the rocks, that no life existed at the time of their deposit. The whole tendency of the evidence of Palmontology goes, he says, to prove that the earliest forms of life must have been vastly simpler than the fossils as yet met with in the earliest sedimentary strata. Much as metamorphic action has done to destroy all traces of organisms in the older rocks, it still seems possible that patience and a microscope may, in this as in other instances, reveal to us as yet hidden treasures. The abundance of manganese over the red-clay area of the Atlantic is another subject for investigation; nor will the greater prevalence of siliceous Diatoms near the Poles and in some other parts of the Atlantic be without its significance to those who are interested in the history of flint in Chalk and in other ealcareoas rocks.

ANI~IVERS&RY ADDRESS OF THE PKF~IDENI, I OI forth upon its travels, b the return of which geologists will look forward with as much interest as they do to that of the 'Challenger:' I mean the Arctic Expedition, under the command of Capt. Nares. Unfortunately no professional Geologist is attached to his staff of craters; but there are among its members some to whom geological observation is by no means unfamiliar, and who will, at all events, lose no opportunities of collecting any fossil remains which can be brought home for di~termination. Apart from any stratigraphical or palmontological deta'fis, it may be hoped that some of the physical observations with regard to the behaviour of large masses of ice, as distinct from that of ordinary glaciers, may be instructive. This is, indeed, a subject on which Prof. NordenskiSld has already made some remarks. The question of the present climate and proportions of land and water, and of the past geological conditions of the circumpolar area, is also one the solution of which involves geological considerations of great moment. Through the researches of Prof. Oswald Heer we have been made comparatively well acquainted with the fossil flora of the arctic regions, and especially with that which is referred to Miocene times, and which comprises upwards of 350 species. Of these Arctic species nearly 100 occur in the Miocene flora of F,urope, the percentage being least in Spitzbergen and greatest in Greenland, while of the European fossil floras that of the Baltic near Dantzie (55 ~ N.) comes nearest to the Arctic, having about 54 per cent. of the same plants. Prof. Nordenski51d states that among these Miocene plants at Cape Lyell, in Spitzbergen, are found the Taxodium distichum (the swamp-cypress of Texas), Sequoias of enormous size allied to the Wellingtonia of California, large-leaved birches, limes, oaks, beeches, planes, and even magnolias. And Prof. Heer, arguing from the fossil flora of Atanekerdluk, on the Waigat, opposite Disco, in 1at. 70 ~ infers that, beyond a doubt, North Greenland in the Miocene age had a climate warmer by at least 30 ~ Fahr. than at present. He shows that of many of the trees the nearest living representatives are not to be found nearer than 10~ or even 20 ~ further south, and that one of the most important, a Da2hno#ene, with large thick leathery leaves, was probably an evergreen. Of other plants, there are some of which it is quite certain that they could not have withstood a low temperature: Even assuming that such forms were living close to the highest northern limit compatible with their existence, the occurrence of Downloaded from http://jgslegacy.lyellcollection.org/ at University of Oregon on June 24, 2016

io2 PROCSFmI,~SOF ~SZ O~OLOQIC~ SOClm~. the trees just cited in Spitzbergen, about 8 ~ further north, shows that the beeches and planes could flourish in that high latitude; and inasmuch as at the present day firs and poplars reach to a latitude of 15 ~ above the artific,.'al limit of the plane, and 10 ~ above that of the birch, it is inferred that there was nothing in the Miocene climate te prevent firs and poplars from growing as far northward as land existed. The ~equoia Langsdor~i has its nearest living representative in the S. sempervirens (Rod-wood), a tree the present northern limit of which is about lat. 53 ~ and which requires for its existence a summer temperature of 60 ~ F., and for its fruit to ripen one of 65 ~. The winter temperature for this tree must not fall below 31~ and that of the whole year must be at least 50~ but the present annual temperature at Atanekerdluk is about 20 ~ F., and this is somewhat above the normal temperature for the latitude. Further to the east, at Attenfiord, a temperature of 33 ~ Fahr. is met with; but even this abnormal temperature for so high a latitude is 17 ~ lower than what we are obliged to assume as having prevailed in Spitzbergen during the Miocene period. Professor ]teer regards such facts (which are, moreover, mere links in the grand chain of evidence obtained from the examination of the Miocene flora of the whole of Europe) as convincing. They prove to us, he says, that we could not by any rearrangement of the relative position of land and water produce for the northern hemisphere a climate which would explain the phenomena in a satisfactory manner. We must only admit, he adds, that we are face to face wit& a problem whose solution in all probabity must be attempted, and, we doubt not, completed by the astronomer. It might, indeed, be urged that we are hardly justified in restrict- ing the growth of particular varieties of such trees as the fir, the poplar, and the birch to the conditions under which they are at the present time able to exist. In addition, however, to the extreme cold, we must remember that it is also with a prolonged absence of sunlight that the plants which formerly flourished in such latitudes as 80 ~ would have to contend ; and even if there were a sufficiency of light, it is hard to conceive in what manner thick-leaved ever- greens, such as the .Da.pllnogene, could endure the climate, or ,Sequoias ripen their seed. This warmth of climate, moreover, within the arctic circle, which it appears necessary to admit as having prevailed there in Miocene times, seems also to have been enjoyed by those regions even in a higher degree during earlier periods of the earth's history.

During the Upper Cretaceous period deciduous trees and dicoty-. ledons flourished at Atanekerdluk, as well as two species of Maj- nol~ and a fig, of which not only the leaves but the fruit are preserved in the fossil state. I have myself seen the specimens, which were obligingly shown to me at Stockholm by Prof. l~ordenskihld, from whose paper* on the former climate of the polar regions I am largely quoting; and no product of the far north ever appeared to me more striking. In the Lower Cretaceous period, however, the climate seems to have been still warmer. Among 75 species distinguished by Prof. O. Heer, there are 30 ferns, 9 Cycade~e, and 17 Conifer~e; and of the ferns one third part belong to the genus Gleichenia, which still flourishes in the neighbourhood of the tropics and the warmer parts of the temperate zone. The same holds good of the Cycade~e, most of which are referable to the genus Zamia, while some of the Coniferm are nearly related to forms still existing in Florida, Japan, and California. Judging from the vegetable remains, Prof. Hecr infers that the Arctic climate of the early part of the Cretaceous period was much like that which now prevails in Egypt and the Canary Isles. In Jurassic times the temperature seems to have been much the same, while the marine remains of the Triassic period, consisting of Ammonites, Nautili, and the great Saurian described by ]~[r. Hulke (the Ichthyosaurus Zpo/aris), all point to climatal conditions much warmer than those of the present day, and to a comparatively warm ocean. The Coal-measures, with their profuse vegetation agreeing in character with that found in lower latitudes, the Mountain Lime- stone, built up with fragments of Corals and Bryozoa and shells of marine molhsca, all tell the same story. To quote the words of Prof. Haughton, the arguments from the occurrence of coal-plants and Ammonites strengthen each other, the coal-plants rendering the question of light, and the Ammonites that of heat, insuperable objections to the admission of any received geological hypothesis to account for the finding of such remains in situ in latitudes so high as those of Melville Island, Prince Patrick's Island, and ~.xmouth Island. The Spitzbcrgen fossils carry us, however, up to still higher latitudes, where we have a Time, an Arbor-vlt~e, and a Juniper nearly on the 79th parallel of latitude, or within less than 800 miles of the * Geol. ~Iag. dec. iL voL il. p. 525.

We can hardly believe that such trees could grow en the confines of all arboreal life ; and when we consider that the dif. ference in latitude between Spitzbergen and the Pole is just the same as between Cornwall and the Shetland Isles, it is hard to believe that at the time when such comparatively southern forms were fleurishing in Spitzbergen, the Pole itself could have been so ill-adapted for all vegetable life of the kind as it must be at the present day. Among other suggestions which have been effered as a means of accounting for the phenomena, that of a change in the obliquity ef the axis of rotation of the earth with regard to the ecliptic has been revived, and advoeat~l with much ingenuity by Mr. BelL. As his views have been ably expounded by Mr. Henry Woodward in his Presidential Address to the Geologists' Association, I need net enter further into them. They have already been controverted by Mr. Croll, in his work on Climate and Time ; and certainly, though with the axis ef the earth vertical to the ecliptic there might be perpetual light at the Pole, it is hard to see how, with the sun always en the horizon, the inhabitants of that part of the worlr would be blessed with perpetual spring. Indeed, according to Mr. Croll, the aggregate quantity of heat received by the polar regions of a glebe with its axis vertical to the ecliptic, would be far less than at present. The three points which it appears to me are most important to bear in mind with regard to the Arctic flora are :--1, that for vegetation such as has been described there must, according to all analogy, have been a greater aggregate amount of summer heat supplied than is now due to such high latitudes; 2, that there must have been a far less degree of winter cold than is in any way compatible with the position on the globe; and, 3, that in all probability the amount and distribution ef light which at present prevail within the Arctic circle are not such as would suffice for the life of the trees. Sheuld the present Arctic expedition succeed in finding traces of what must be regarded as a temperate, if not indeed a subtropical fossil flora, like that of Greenland and Spitzbergen, extending to latitudes still nearer the Pole, it does appear to me that geologists will be compelled ~to accept as a fact that the position of the axls ef rotatien of our planet has not been permanent ; and they will have to call upon astronomers to find some means of admitting what they now regard as impossible.

Sir John W. Lubbock, in a paper communicated to this Society in 1848, has speculated upon this subject, which was in consequence discussed by the late Sir Henry Delabeche in his Presidential Ad- dress in 1849. Sir J. W. Lubbock remarked that the dictum of Laplace as to the impossibility of accounting for the changes which have taken place on the surface of the earth, and in the relative positions of land and water, by a change in the position of the axis of rotation, was founded upon the absence of two considerations, both of which appeared tehim essential. These were--- 1. The dislocation of strata by cooling, 2. The friction of the surface. The la~er consideration is apparently of but little importance; but with regard to the former, he pointed out how, if from any cause the axis of rotation did not coincide with the axis of figure% the pole of the axis of rotation would describe a spiral round the pole of the axis of figure until it finally became, as it is at present, iden- tical with it. He considered it unlBrely that originally the axis of rotation should have coincided exactly with the axis of figure, unless the whole globe were perfectly fluid--but added that we might go back to a time less remote, when the earth was in a semifluid state, and in consequence of the different degrees of fusibility of different substances, was partly solid, in irregular masses; and, in consequence, the two axes did not coincide. We might, he added, assume ~he original state of want of uniformity between them to have been at a period even more recent, when the earth consisted of land and water, and was suited for the support of animal life. He then proceeded to show how, if, after any length of time the solid spheroidal part of the earth moved about any new axis of rotation, the water would occupy a new position about a new equator, land would become sea, and sea land, &c. He added that, if the axis of the earth would suffer a displacement by reason of the causes which produce the precession of the equi- An axis of figure may, I presume, be defined as a principal axis of a body around which it would revolve in a~uilibrio, and would therefore, when once the motion had been imparted, continue to do so for ever, if no extraneous forces acted upon it. The axis of rotation need not, at the time of the motion being imparted, correspond with the axis of figure, though the two would ultimately coincide. On the same principle a change in the form of a revolving body might displace its axis of figure, and for a time prevent the axis of revolution from coinciding with it.

noxes, we should have another and more nat-ural way of accounting for the existing phenomena ; but this has been held to be impossible. I am not at present going to question whether this holding is correct; butwith regard to Sir J. W. Lubbock's reasoning as to the necessity of the axis of figure coinciding with that of rotation, it appears to me of the greatest importance; for if it hold good, any alteration in figure cannot but have some effect on the position of the axis of rotaHon. No doubt, if the whole globe, or even the solid portion of it, were a regular spheroid, with a large equatorial protuberance, any modificaHon on its surface would have to be on an enormous scale to produce any sensible effect upon its axis of revolution. But, after all, is the ear,h, strictly speaking, a spheroid? and are not some of the arguments and dicta based upon its spheroidal character founded on a fallacy? For it does appear to me a fallacy to ~reat as one homogeneous spheroid a body partly consisting of a mass of solid or quasi-solid matter of irregular form, and partly of a liquid mass in constant motion, irregularly distributed over a portion of its surface. No doubt the contour of the liquid portion is, according to established geometrical laws, almost that of a re~flgr spheroid; but its distribution, except in the case of inland seas, can have but little to do with the regulation of the movement of the solid body on which it rests. It is true that Laplace has maintained that "whatever may be the law of the depth of the ocean, and whatever the figure of the spheroid which it covers, the phenomena of precession and nutation will be the same as if the ocean formed a solid mass with this spheroid ;" but do the position of the axis of revolution, and its permanence in one spot, come under the same category as precession and nutation ? It certainly appears to me that the position of the axis of revolution must mainly depend upon the form of the mineral portion of the globe, and be but in the slightest degree affected by the distribution of the ocean, the specific gravity of which is moreover only about one fifth of that of the more solid portion. With regard to the permanence of the axis of rotation, if it must of necessity coincide with the axis of figure, and if the figure of the mineral portion of the earth, in consequence of upheavals and depressions, of the wearing away of continents and the transportation of thor constituents by mechanical or even chemical means, is being constantly changed, so as to acquire a new axis, then the ax~ of rotation must also as constantly be undergoing a change of position.

The difference between the polar and equatorial diameters of our globe has been ealculat~l at about 26 miles, or about 13 miles in the radius; but at the equator itself, little more than one-fifth of the circumference of the globe is dry land, and nearly four fifths are sea; and this sea is by no means shallow, as the soundings taken by the 'Tuscarora,' the 'Challenger,' and other exploring vessels will prove. Leaving those taken near land out of the calculation, I find that 48 soundings in the Pacific, between 15 ~ and 30 ~ north latitude, give an average depth of 2634 fathoms, or 5268 yards--that is to say, within a few yards of three miles. The South Pacific does not appear to have been so well explored; but across the Atlantic, in the equatorial regions between 10 ~ 1V. and 10 ~ S., I find that an average of 32 soundings gives a mean depth of 2309 fathoms, or 4618 yards, while, in one spot in lat. 15 ~ degrees S., Sir 5ames Ross did not find the bottom with a line of 4600 fathoms, or nearly 5~ miles. In the Indian Ocean, within the same limits, 20 soundings give an average of 2468 fathoms, or 4936 yards, or more than 2~ miles. Taking these soundings as fair representations of the depth of the sea in the neighbourhood of the equator, it appears that we may at once reduce the equatorial diameter of the more solid part of the globe by from 589to 6 miles over nearly four fifths of its circumference; that is to say, we may reduce the usually accepted equatorial protuberance from about 13 miles to a little over 10. It is not within my province to inquire whether the fact of so large a portion of the equatorial protuberance being of so much less specific gravity than if it were composed of mineral matter will in any way affect the established calculations with regard to the precession of the equinoxes and the nutation of the poles, or, what is of more importance to us, the inferences with regard to the crust of the earth which have been thence deduced. But while so large a portion of the surface of the land is, ~n tim equatorial regions, so much below the normal level, there are, especially in the northern hemisphere, large tracts of land which, like the great plateau of Tibet, are some thousands of feet above it. The average elevation of the whole of Asia has, indeed, been e~timated at 377 yards, or nearly a quarter of a mile above the sea-level. The depth of the ocean in non-equatorial regions must~ no doubt be taken into account ; but practically, the spheroidicitT] of the globe, on which the stability of the pole has been held to depend, may be regarded as, even at the present time, considerablyless than is usually supposed, Downloaded from http://jgslegacy.lyellcollection.org/ at University of Oregon on June 24, 2016

'io8 PROCEEDINGS OF THE GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY. When, however, we come to think of the enormous elevations and depressions which some parts of the globe have undergone during geological thne, it is by no means difficult to imagine conditions under which the general average, so to speak, of the surface, would approach much more nearly to the form of a sphere, and the globe would become much more sensitive of any disturbances of its equilibrium; but, whether the globe is a sphere or a spheroid, it is hard to see why disburbances of its equilibrium should not affect the position of its axis of rotation. Taking our globe with the distribution of land and water as at present existing, I should like to inquire of mathematicians what would be the theoretical result of such a slight modification, geolo- gically speaking, as the fo]lowing:~Assume an" elevation to the extent, on an average, of 4000 feet over the northern part of Africa, the centre of the elevation being, say, in 20 ~ north latitude. Assume that this elevation forms only a portion of a belt around the whole globe, inclined to the equator at an angle of 20 ~, and having its most northerly point in the longitude of Greenwich, and cutting the equator at 90 ~ degrees of east and west longitude. Assume that along this belt the sea-bottom and what little land besides Africa it, would traverse were raised 4000 feet above its present level over a tract 20 ~ in width. Assume further that the elevation of this belt was accompanied by corresponding depressions on either side of it, so as to leave the total volume of the mineral portion of the earth unaffected. Would not such a modification of form bring the axis of figure about 15 ~ or 20 ~ south of the present, and on the meridian of Greenwich--that is to say, midway between Greenland and Spitz- bergen ? and would not, eventually, the axis of rotation correspond in position with the axis of figure ? If the answer to these questions is in the affirmative, then I think it must be conceded that even minor elevations within the tropics would produce effects corresponding to their magnitude, and also that it is unsafe to assume that the geographical position of the poles has been persistent throughout all geological time. It is not the first time that I have insisted upon this point; for some ten years ago" I pointed out another possible means of accounting for a change in the geographical position of the axis of the earth. My hypothesis was, however, founded on the assumption of the globe consisting of a comparatively thin crust, with an internal fluid nucleus over which the crust, would slide when, from any gee- Proceedings of the Royal Society, 1866.

To this it has been objeeted~--lst, that there would be a tendency in the transfer of sediment from one part of the globe to another, and in the various elevations and depressions of land simultaneously, to balance each other; and, 2nd, that the friction over the nucleus would be too great, and that, owing to the earth being a spheroid and not a perfect sphere, any motion of the crust would be attended by great re- sistance, and the bending and rending of its mass. To these objections it may be replied that the effects of the transfer of sediment from one place to another, and of elevations and depressions of land going on at the same time, are just as likely to be doubled by the depressions taking place in the same hemisphere as the elevations, but :on opposite sides of the Pole, as they are to neutralize each other; and, 2ndly, that with a comparatively thin crust, the readjustment to a fresh position on a nucleus so slightly spheroidal as that supposed to exist in the earth, is not accompanied by any great change of form, or certainly not more than what the contorted rocks all over the world have undergone. I am not, however, on the present occasion, going to attempt to prove that the assumption involved in my hypothesis is reasonable. How we are to account for all the vast oscillations of the earth's surface, which we find to have been going on ever since the earliest geological period up to the present day, on any assumption more reasonable, I will leave for others to determine. I have already called attention to the bearing which recent researches in Solar Physics have upon this subject ; and I am content to leave the matter as it stands, in the hope that before many years have passed we may learn more either in its proof or disproof. The moral which I wish to draw from all that I have just said is this :--that so long as there is a possibility, not to say a probability, of the geographical position of the Poles having changed, it is premature to invoke intense glacial periods to account for all the glacial phenomena which may be observed. Much as we must esteem the labours of M. Adhgmar and Mr. Croll, and others who have gone so deeply into the question of glaciation--enormous as have been the effects of ice in this and other countries---there are many who cannot but feel that the ice-caps invoked almost transcen our powers of belief, and who will be grateful to any astronomer or mathematician who will bring the pole round which they were generated somewhat nearer to our doors. * Lyell's ' Principles,' llth edition, vol. iii. p. 209.

IiO PROCEEDINGS OF THE OEOLOGICAL SOCIETY.

There is yet one point on which, before quitting the subject, I may add a few words. Sir ;[. W. Lubbock, in the paper from which I have already quoted so much, has hinted at the possibility of some want of homogeneity in the constitution of the globe, so that, in cooling, the position of the axis of rotation may have changed. The varying amount of subterranean heat and volcanic energy in the same region at different periods of the earth's existence has frequently been commented on, as has also the varying degree of subsidence or elevation in the same tract at different times. The forces, whatever they may be, to which these upward and downward movements are due, have, as Sir Charles Lyell has remarked, " shifted their points of chief development from one region to another, like the volcano and the earthquake, and are all, in fact, the results of the same internal operations to which heat,, electricity, magnetism, and chemical affinity give rise." Whether changes in the specific gravity of enormous masses of rock in consequence of their being heated would be of sufficient degree to disturb the equilibrium of the globe, is a di(Bcult question; but the remarkable position of the magnetic poles of verticity with regard to the actual poles of the earth, and the distTibution of the magnetic force over the earth's surface may, as has been suggested to me by Capt. 1~. J. Evans, F.R.S., have some geological significance. These poles are in lat. 70 ~ N., long. 96~ ~ W., and in lat. 73~ ~ S., long. 147~ ~ E. If we draw a circle around the globe, cutting these tw~ points, we find that the magnetic poles, instead of being 180 ~ apart, are only about 165 ~ distant in one direction, ~vhile they are about 195 ~ in the other. In like manner the mag- ne~e equator, or line of no dip, differs considerably in position from the terreshial equator, being drawn about 15 ~ to the S. over South -America, and about 10~ to the N. over Africa and in passing the great Asiatic continent. There is also this singular circumstance, which ~vas insisted upon by Sir Edward Sabine nearly forty years ago-- viz., that if the globe be divided into an Eastern and a Western hemisphere by a plane coinciding with the meridian of 100 ~ and 280 ~ the Western hemisphere, or that comp "rising the Americas and the Pacific Ocean, has a much higher magnetic intensity] distributed gbnerally over it~ surface, than the Eastern hemisphere, containing Europe and Africa and the adjacent part of the Atlantic Ocean. The points of the greatest intensity" of the man,tactic force, moreover, do not correspond with the magnetic poles, as there are two such foci in the northern hemisphere (those of Ame- Downloaded from http://jgslegacy.lyellcollection.org/ at University of Oregon on June 24, 2016

ANNIVERSARY ADD~SS OF TH~ PRESIDENT. I I I riea and Siberia) making it probable that there are two also in the southern hemisphere. Such fac~s would seem more in accordance with a want of uniformity in the inner constitution of the globe than with there being a perfect s~mmetryin the arrangement of all its component parts. Some abnormal features in the direction of gravity in different parts of the world seem also to afford ~orroborative evidence to the same effect. The subject is one of perhaps too theoretical a character for the geologist to approach ; but if any definite connexion could be established between terrestrial magnetism and the internal constitution of the globe, we might, possibly, be justified in drawing the inference from i~s phenomena, that there are forces in operation in the interior of the earth by which its equilibrium may have been disturbed, and its axis of revolution thus .caused ~o change in position. It is, however, time to turn to more general considerations. With regard to stratigraphieal geology, the main foundations are already laid, and a great part of the details filled in. The tendency of modern discoveries has already been and will probably still be to fill up those breaks which, according to the view of many though by no means all geolo~sts, are so frequently assumed to exist between different geological periods, and to bring about a more full recognition of the continuity of geological time. As knowledge increases, it will, I think, become more and more apparent that our existing divisions of time are, to a considerable extent, local and arbitraD-. But, even when this is fully recognized, it will still be found desirable to retain them, if only for the sake of convenience and approximate precision. Just as with our ordinary, reckoning of time, we divide our day not only into the larger and more natural periods of morning, noon, a~ernoon) and evening, but also into the minor and artificial subdivisions of hours, minutes, and seconds, so, with geolo~cal time, we divide it into Primary, Secondary, Tertiary, and Quaternary Periods, or by whatever other names we may call them--and then subdivide these into various minor periods, represented by the different formations. We shall, I think, eventually more fully re~ cognize that, as is the ease with the periods of the day, each of the larger geological divisions follows the other without any actual break or boundary, and that the minor subdivisions are, like the hours on the clock, useful and conventional rather than absolutely fixed by any general cause in l~ature.

Assyrians been sufficiently civilized to have got beyond the decimal mystem, we might have had ten hours in our day and a hundred minutes in our hour; and had the earlier geological investigations t~ken place elsewhere than in Western Europe, we might, not improbably, have found the main divisions of geological time as well as its subdivisions somewhat differently placed from where they are at present, and are ever likely to remain. With regard to PalveontologT, though accuracy of observation will ever remain absolutely indispensable, I venture to prophecy that the great work of future Paleontologists will rather lie in still further developing the affinities of genera, than in merely recording the minute distinctions of species. The discoveries which have of late been made have a tendency to fill in the missing links in the chain of organic nature, and to lead to the adoption of some form of that great doctrine of evolution which has received so large an amount of support from a former occupant of this Chair, to whom we have this day presented the Wollaston Medal, Professor Huxley. It is highly probable that much more will be done in the same direction. In addition to what has been effected by Mons. Albert Gaudry in his researches on the fossils of Pikermi and Mont Le'beron, and by Dr. W. Kowalevsky in his investigations of the osteology of the Hyopotamid~e, the discoveries of Professors Marsh and Leidy in America are doing much towards illustrating the line of descent of many of the higher mammalia. The highly important paper communicated to us by Prof. Owen at our last meeting gave, moreover, no uncertain sound as to the probable affinities between some mammalian and reptilian forms. On the other hand, the Odontopteryx t~Ziapicus, described by Professor Owen in the pages of our Journal, and the Ichthyornis of Professor Marsh, and his Hesperornis, with teeth in both jaws (not in sockets like those of !chthyornis, but in grooves, as.is the case with _rththyosaurus), support most strongly the conclusions of those who had already recognized the affinity of birds and reptiles, and lead me to hope that spoeulations in which I indulged some thirteen years a~o with regard to the A rc~t~q/x having been endowed with teeth may eventually be confirmed. I will not attempt to enlarge upon a subject with the details of which I am so imperfectly acquainted. A very small amount of knowledge, however, suffices to convince an impartial observer of the great probability of all the vertebrate forms of the present day and those found in the later geological deposits, being the direct descendants of those of earlier periods.

pedigree of certain vertebrate forms, it is impossible to doubt that various invertebrate forms must in like manner be derived by direct descent from others previously existing. How far, however, the pedigree of some of the lower forms of organic life may be carried back in geological time is a question for the future, on which, no doubt, investigations in new fields of research wiU ere long throw light. Judging from what is already known, it seems highly probable that we shall, sooner or later, find traces of life in rocks which have hitherto been regarded as azoic, or, indeed, are as yet unknown. Should the earlier forms from which the Crinoids, ksteriad~e, Mol- lusea, and Crustaeea of the Silurian age, the fishes of the Old Red Sandstone, and the Saurians of the Triassic and Mesozoic strata are descended be eventually discovered, it will cause less surprise to many biologists than did the assertion, by so accomplished an observer as the President of the Geological Section of the British As- sociation at the Bristol meeting (Dr. Wright), that " Pal~eontology affords no support to the hypothesis which seeks by a system of evolution to derive all the varied forms of organic life from preexisting organisms of a lower type." With regard to geological profess during the past year, I must first express my regret that, owing to the illness of Mr. A. Everett, who, as I mentioned last year, had kindly undertaken the examination of some of the ossiferous caverns of Borneo, nothing has been done in that country. The continued examination of Kent's Cavern has not brought any material new facts to light; but that of the Settle Cave seems to have confirmed those who have been engaged upon it in the belief that it affords evidence of the existence of man in this part of the world before the great ice-sheet of the Glacial Period, and before the last great submergence of the country. In connexion with this case, there is another interesting point to which my attention has been called by Mr. Tiddeman, the separation of the fauna containing the Reindeer, and presumably significant of a cold climate, by a thickness of twelve feet of laminated clay, stalag- mite, &c. from that containing the Hippopotamus, which may be regarded as characteristic of a waxmer climate. In connexion with climate, however, it must he b(~rne in mind that the Reindeer lived down to historical times in Scotland.

The first sub-Wealden boring, from which such great hopes were entertained, has had to be abandoned; but, owing to the enterprise of ~r. Willett and the Diamond Boring Company, a new bore-hole has been sunK, which is still in progress. The depth attained is 1875 feet; but the work has lately been interrupted, owing to its having been found necessary to reline the bore. This second boring has served to correct the opinion that the Oxford Clay had been reached at a depth of about 1000 feet. It now appears that the fossils discovered down to a depth of about 1760 feet are such as have been hitherto considered to denote the Kim- meridge Clay of England and of the Continent. The boring is now in what seems to be some member of the Oolites, possibly the Coral Rag ; and it yet remains to be seen whether any Palseozoie rock will be reached within the limits of 2000 feet, to which it is proposed to carry on the work. Whatever other results may accrue, it is something to have ascertained that in the centre of the Wealden area there is so large and unexpected a development of the Kimmeridge Clay. Competent judges estimated that its probable maximum thick- hess at the spot would not exceed 800 feet, but it is actually of more than double the estimated thickness. Such a fact appears to me to suggest that, at all events in some cases, areas in which the greatest devation have taken place, may also be those which have been equally favourable to subsidence, and that where are now the centres of domes of elevation may at some former period have been the deepest part of basins of depression. If this has been the ease in the Wealden area, it would seem probable that it is near its margin rather than at its centre that we should expect to find the older l~cks most nearly approaching the surface. Such a specu- lation, however, unless corroborated by other examples of the same kind, cannot be accepted as of much value. With regard ~ the memoirs communicated to the Society during the past year, I need say no more than that they have been numerous and, in many cases, of great interest and importance. The Abstracts of our Proceedings, which are now issued promptly after each meeting, will have enabled all of our Fellows to judge of what has been going on; and it would only be to waste your time to attempt to give any other summary.

ANNIVERSARY ADDRESS OF THE PRESIDENT. I 15 nor have the departments of Physical, Chemical, and Microscopic Geology been neglected. Of the Geolo~cal books which have appeared during the year. it is hardly my province to speak; but I think the Society may be congratulated on the publication of the first volume of the ' Geological Record,' under the auspices of Mr. Whitaker, the yearly volumes of which, as containing an account of all the works on Geology, Mineralogy, and Pal~eontology published during the previous year, cannot but be of the greatest service.

There is only one more subject on which I will say a few words, and which, as to some slight extent involving a question in which I am personally interested, I have kept for the end of my Address. It is one to which it appears probable that the earnest attention of geologists will immediately be called--namely, the water- supply of this vast metropolis. This is, indeed, not the first time that the attention of this Society has been called to it ; for Professor Prestwich devoted to it a considerable portion of his Presidential Address in 1872. It has since been more fully discussed in the Sixth Report of the Commissioners appointed in 1868 to inquire into the best means of preventing the pollution of rivers, who have extended their inquiries somewhat beyond what appear to be the strict limits of their Commission. It is with their Report that I am mainly concerned. The Commissioners have expressed their opinion that the rivers Thames and Lea (or Lee, as the word is spelt in their Report) ought to be abandoned as early as possible, and especially the former, as sources of supply to London. They regard the condition of these rivers as hopeless, and point out that an abundance of spring- and deep-well water can be procured in the basin of the Thames and within a moderate distance of London ; and they are further of opinion that the metropolis and its suburbs should be supplied, on the constant system, exclusively with this palatable and wholesome water. They believe that within 40 miles of-St. Paul's a su~cieil~ volume of deep-well and spring-wa~er can be obtained for the present daily wants of the metropolis, but especially point to the Chalk and Upper Greensand above the Gault as the sources of supply. They state that within 30 miles of London there is an area of 849 square miles" covered" by these formations, and that within 40 miles radius the area is 1597 square, miles.

They estimate (to a great extent guided by experiments carried on during many years under my superintendence) that the portion of the annual rainfall upon this large extent of porous rock, which sinks to reappear in springs and streams, may be taken at 6 inches annually, and point out that this amount of infiltration into the Chalk area within 30 miles of the metropolis indicates the quantity of 202 millions of gallons daily as the theoretical maximum supply available from that area. They suggest that the greater portion of this water, which now escapes in springs and in the river-beds at the lower levels of the absorbent district on which it falls, might be abstracted by a sufficient number of wells sunk below the present spring-heads of the district, and so constantly drawn upon, that there should always be a void for the reception of unusual rainfalls below the level at which the drainage of the district naturally escapes. They incidentally admit that any water drawn from the subterranean reservoir in the Chalk by artificial means will be at the expense of the streams which now flow through the valleys in the Chalk area, but do not give even a passing consideration to the effect upon that area of abstracting from it its natural supply of water, and conveying it---"convey, the wise it call"---to London, should the scheme they advocate ever be carried into effect. It can hardly be believed that a proposal such as this, involving the diversion of the whole of the water from the natural springs and streams over an area of not less than 440 square miles (an area larger than that of several English counties), should have been brought forward without the slightest reference to what would be the result upon this vast extent of country, the inhabitants of which are to be sacrificed to the presumed needs of this overgrown city. It will, I think, come within the province of the geologist to point out not only where spring-water of good quality is to be obtained, but also what will be the effect of its abstraction upon the districts where it now exists in sufficient abundance to overflow into the streams. It will be for him to show what will be the effect of pro- ducing "a void below the level at which the drainage of the country naturally escapes;" how what are now fertile and even irrigated meadows will be converted int~ arid wastes ; how watercress-beds, now of fabulous value, will be brought to the resemblance of newly mended turnpike-roads; how in such a district all existing wells, many of them already some hundreds of feet in depth, will be dried, the mill-streams disappear, and even the canals and navi- gable rivers become liable to sink and be lost in their bed~.

ANNIVERSARY ADDRESS OF THE PRESIDENT. I 17 these results would, if the scheme were carried out, not be confined to some single spot, but would extend over hundreds of square miles. It may perhaps be thought that I am exaggerating the size of the area, the natural water-supply of which it is proposed to abstract but the calculation may be readily verified. The quantity of water now daily supplied to London by the different water-compauies, exclusive of the Kent Company (which already supplies deep-well water to the extent of 9,000,000 gallons daily) is stated to be 104,800,000 gallons. Now if the supply of 6 inches of rainfall per annum, absorbed over 849 square miles, be, as the Commissioners calculate, equivalent to 202,000,000 gallons daily, it is evident that it will require more than half that area to furnish 104,800,000 gallons daily, the exact figures being 440~ square miles. It must, however, be remembered that the Commissioners regard this quantity as the theoretical maximum of water-supply available from such an area. And they are right in so doing; for in some years a far larger area would have to be exhausted in order to produce so large a water-supply, since not unfrequently the quantity of the rainfall which percolates to a depth of only 3 feet into the soil, instead of being 6 inches, as supposed in the calculation, is as low as 3 inches. For three years running I have known the percolation through a depth of 3 feet of ordinary soil covered with vegetation to have been on the average only 3] inches, and through Chalk under the same conditions less than 5~ inches. It would appear, then, that it would be safer to regard the available spring-water supply as not representing more than 4 inches of the rainfall per annum, instead of 6 inches, in which case the area requisite to supply 104,800,000 gallons daily would be 660 square miles. To avoid any possible error, let us look at the matter from another point of view. One inch of rain falling over a statmte acre produces, a~ nearly as may be, 100 tons or 22,400 gallons of water. Dividing this by 30, as representing the daily consumption of one person, there would be enough for one person for 743 days, or, say, for two for one year. Four inches of rain would render each acre capable of supplying the wante of eight persons, so that a square mile of 640 acres would supply 5120 persons for one year. Calling the popu- lation of the metropolitan area 4,000,000, and dividing that number by 5120, we arrive at an area of 780 square miles as necessary ior their supply.

There can therefore be no doubt as to the vast extent of country which the proposal of the Commissioners would place under an- natural conditions with regard to its springs and streams. No doubt wells may, in some few instances, be placed in such a position as to affect but slightly the neighbouring streams. The wells of the Kent waterworks, for instance, which supply 9,000,000 gallons daily, are so placed as mainly to derive their supply from water that would otherwise find its way into the Thames by springs along its bed; indeed, from the amount of chlorine present in the water, it may be doubted whether some portion of it is not derived from the Thames itself by filtration through the chalk. It seems probable that in the valley of the Thames immediately above London there may be spots from which a limited supply of water might be pumped without much injury to the neighbouring pro- potty; but a wholesale abstraction of the entire supply of spring- water from an area of even 300 or 400 square miles could not be otherwise than most disastrous. 0u looking at the actual chemical analysis of the waters supplied by the different Companies, as furnished by the Commissionol~, there would, at first sight, appear to be some difficulty in under- standing their reasons for so highly commending the Kent Company's water, and so unhesitatingly condemning that of the other Com- panies, if we are to take as our guide the "previous sewage or animal contamination," on which so much stress is laid. It is hard to comprehend why, if river- or flowing water which exhibits any proportion, however small, of "previous sewage or animal eontamination" is to be regarded as suspicious or doubtful, the water in wells, say 100 feet deep, may be allowed 10,000 pints in 100,000, or 1 pint in 10, and may yet be regarded as reasonably safe. For in these deep wells, if at no great distance from a river such as the Thames, it by no means follows ~that there is not some amount of comparatively direct communication through which water may trickle rather than filter ; and not improbably the river-wager below London is more objectionable for drinking purposes than it is higher up the Thames. Let us for a moment compare the "previous sewage or ammal contamination" of the water supplied by the differen*. Companies deriving their wager from the Thames and Lea with that of the Kent Company's water. I take the average of the different sna|yses of each, as given at p. 270 et seqq. of the Report.

If we refer to the headings Organic Carbon and Organic Nitrogen, there can be little doubt of the superiority of the Kent Company's water; but judging merely from the statistics under the awful head- ing of "Previous Sewage Contamination," that of the River Com- panies seems the purest. Why the source of supply from the two rivers should be condemned as hopeless it is very hard to determine. This startling recommendation te give up the supplies of water on which London for centuries has depended, is brought forward just at a time when the most strenuous efforts are being made to purify the rivers Thames and Lea, and but a few years after the Commissioners on the Water Supply of the Metropolis, within whose proper sphere this question lay, had reported that with perfect filtration and efficient measures taken for excluding from them the sewage and other polluting matter, these rivers will afford water which will be perfectly wholesome and of suitable quality for the supply of the Metropolis. It is not for me te enter into the chemical part of this question ; but I may venture to express a doubt whether considerably more might not be done by increased reservoirs for subsidence, and by ~cial aeration of the water, in addition to filtration, so as to carry still further the oxidation of any organic matter it may chance to contain. I have less hesitation i~ strongly insisting on the fact that, irre- spective of the New Riv~r'~ater, the metropolis is already supplied ~with- 9,000,000 gallons per diem, or at least 2~ gallons per head, Downloaded from http://jgslegacy.lyellcollection.org/ at University of Oregon on June 24, 2016

Of the deep-well water so highly commended, a quantity which would seem amply sufficient for dietetic and culinary purposes. [ am, moreover, of opinion that the dimculty of distributing this water over the whole area by means of a second service distinct from that of the water for ordinary domestic purposes, though great, is by no means insurmountable. Even were the wa~ers of the Thames and Lea unfit for drinking purposes, it is very far from being the case that London is in the same plight as Coleridge's ' Ancient Mariner,' with "Water, water everywhere. Nor any drop to drink." Enough is already there for all culinary and dietetic purposes, could it but be distributed; and to lay out incalculablesums of money and inflictincalculable mischief, in order to import chemicMiy pure water with which to lay the dust in our streets, and to flush our sewers, seems "a multiplying improvement in madness, and use upon use in folly." We might almost as well import wine for the purpose; and in that case we might find an historical parallel in the proclamation of Jack Cade :--" Here, sitting upon London Stone, I charge and command, that of the City's cost, the conduits run nothing but claret wine the first year of our reign." As deeply interested in the water-power and general prosperity of one of the Chalk valleys within the fated radius of 30 miles, I may have spoken strongly on this question, and may not unfairly be accused of having clone so from interested motives. No one, however, can submit silently to an insidious attack upon the property which he is fairly entitled to hold ; and after carrying on experiments, for upwards of twenty years, as to the percolation of water to the underground springs in a Chalk area, I may claim some experience in such a question, and much doubt whether my judgment is seriously distorted. Even should the abstraction of water be spread over a much larger area than has been supposed, so as to reduce the amount conveyed away from any particular district, or even should the gross quantity required prove less than supposed, it may be left to any one who will take the trouble to investigate the matter to determine whether the effects if wider spread, or somewhat diminished i~ intensity, would be much less injurious. Any injury from this cause would moreover be felt with double intensity at those seasons~ which are of by no means unfrequent recurrence, when, even without this gigantic artificial abstrac~on, ,the supply of water in the upper portions of the Chalk district be- Downloaded from http://jgslegacy.lyellcollection.org/ at University of Oregon on June 24, 2016

DISCUSSION. Prof. RAMSAY remarked upon the broad view taken by the author with regard to the glaciation of the Alps. He agreed with M. Favre that in the old time, when the Alpine glaciers attained their greatest. magnitude, there was no distinction between them and the glaciers of the Jura. He claimed to have been the first to point out indications of glacial action in the Black Forest, the existence of which implied the presence of glaciers on the Jura; and no doubt those mountains were high enough to have independent glaciers of their own. During the height of the glacial epoch the whole Alpine region was covered with snow and ice ; and this covering must have extended far to the north, more or less implicating the regions of the Black Forest and the Vosges. When the glacial epoch ap- proached its close the glaciers began to be specialized in the great valleys of the Alps; and in the case of the great glacier of the Rhone, which had abutted on the Jura, and that of the Rhine, which had descended into the plains of Bavaria, their individuality began to be reco~o-nizable. Rev. T. G. Bo~'rY thought that the proof of the existence of these great ice-sheets among the Alps showed that there was no occasion to assume the existence of a great general ice-sheet. He remarked that if so much of the mountain district were covered with ndvd, the erosion could be very little ; and yet many lakes, and especially the long and narrow lake of Brienz, are situated in the districts represented as covered with ndv6.

:Mr. MO~RIDOE stated that he had traced glacier action on the Maritime Alps, and found abundant proofs that in old days glaciers descended to the level of the present Mediterranean near Mentone. Prof. ANSTE1) remarked upon the grandeur of the operations referred to in M. Favre's paper, and especially upon the fact of materials having been pushed along in part for a distance of some fifty miles upon a nearly horizontal surface. Of the former extension of glaciers there could be no doubt; but the more precise our observations become, the more do they tend to reduce the dimensions of that great ice-sheet the existence of which has been assumed. Mr. F. D~Ew did not think that the line between the n6v6 and flowing ice could be drawn hard and fast across the glaciers, but was rather a contour line on the surface. He was glad to find that such great thicknesses were accepted for the ice, as these observations seemed to confirm some of his own made among the Himalayas, where he found evidence of a thickness of 5000 feet, but was led to doubt the accuracy of his observations, because he could hardly imagine that the ice could have attained such an enormous bulk. The Av~ol~, in reply to Mr. Drew, said that he did not affirm that any hard and fast line could be drawn, but the distinction was adopted as a matter of convenience. The PaESlD~T remarked that, before admitting the spread of ice all over Switzorlax~ we mast consi~ler the biological evidence, which ~med to prove that there must have been water and land in Swit- z~--tand even during the greatest glaciation of that country. From a physical point of view also we must consider that while we are called upon to believe that the ice produced considerable grinding of the surface, it is certain that the movement of a glacier upon its bed is dependent upon the sinking through it of water, the presence of which was hardly compatible with the prevalence of so great a degree of cold as is implied by the supposed conditions of the glacial epoch.

The Earl of E~SXIT.LEN stated that when Prof. Agassiz first came to England he employed Mr. Dinkel to draw the fossil fishes, and obtained the fine collection of drawings which was subsequently presented to the Geological Society by the late Earl of Ellesmere. By a special arrangement, Lord Enniskillen and Sir Philip Egerton paid for those drawings which were made from each other's collections, the drawings remaining their property. In this way Lord Enniskillen is the possessor of those drawings which were made for Professor Agassiz from Sir Philip Egerton's collections; and it was his VOL.

Owing to the almost total failure of his eyesight, the drawings in Lord Enniskillen's possession are now quite useless to him; and he proposed to present them to the :society before the commencement of the next Session. The Pm~srD~T offered the thanks of the Society to Lord Ennis- killen for his intended present, and at the same time gave expression to its regret at the cause of his Lordship's determination.

Communicated by Prof. A. Co Ramsay, F,R.S,, V.P.G.S. 2. "On the Drift of Brazil." By C. Lloyd Morgan, Esq., F.O.B., Assoc.R.S.M. The author described the position and mode of occurrence of large boulders of gneiss and granite in the red drift of Brazil and on the slopes of hills even at considerable elevations, and stated that, like Professor Agassiz, he could not see how these could have been transported to their present positions except by the agency of ice. Ag the same time he stated that none of these boulders exhibit any glacial scratches, nor are any such markings perceptible on exposed rock-surfaces. The author remarked with regard to the great glacier which Prof. Agassiz imagined to have filled the valley of the Amazons, that the Andes, from which he supposed it to have come, are more than 1500 miles from Rio, and that right across the country /c2 Downloaded from http://jgslegacy.lyellcollection.org/ at University of Oregon on June 24, 2016

For his own part he is inclined to believe that the drift, if of glacial origin, was not formed by glaciers taking their rise in any of the peaks indicated by him, but by an almost universal South- American ice-sheet.

He divides the Chalk into flint- bearing (up to 400 feet thick) and flintless (up to 800 feet thick), notices the distribution and characters of the flints, and concludes that the divisions are not successive, but of the same age, the running-out of the flint taking place horizontally and not vertically. The chalk without flints contains 4'28 per cent. of silica, the chalk with flints 2~ per cent. A boring at t[ornsea passed through 108 feet of Drift and 800 feet of Chalk to blue clay. 22.
