Abstract
THE Council of the Royal Society of South Africal has awarded the Marloth Memorial Medal to Dr. J. L. B. Smith, senior lecturer in chemistry in Rhodes University College, and D. Rivett, for a paper on "The Essential Oils of Agothosma". The Marloth Memorial Fund was initiated by the Cape Chemical and Technological Society, and is devoted to the perpetuation of the memory of Dr. Rudolph Marloth, the famous South African chemist and botanist. In 1939 it was handed over to the Royal Society of South Africa for administration. It is awarded in the form of a small payment towards publication of papers of outstanding merit in either chemistry or botany, and a printed medallion heads the paper. The Medal has never been awarded before, but the present paper is considered as of sufficient merit, both from the botanical and from the chemical points of view, to be the first for which this honour is conferred.
