Abstract

THE anniversary meeting of the Geological Society takes place to-morrow, when Professor Huxley will deliver his address, which, it is expected, will be of great scientific interest. The Wollaston Medal of the society has this year been awarded to the eminent French Malacologist, M. Deshayes, professor at the Musée d' Histoire Naturelle, and the proceeds of the Wollaston fund have been awarded to M. Marie Roualt, who, though in humble circumstances, has contributed largely to the advance of the palaeontology of France. The choice of president for the coming year has fallen on Mr. J. Prestwich—a choice which will be hailed on all sides with the liveliest satisfaction.
