Abstract
THE absence of any connected and inclusive account of the terms of the trusts and foundations under which the science medals of Great Britain, Ireland, and the Dominions are allotted, whether also of yearly, biennial, triennial, or of longer interval of distribution, forms sufficient reason for an attempt to fill this gap by bringing together information upon the different awards. While various academies and societies, incorporated and other, have from time to time instituted gifts of this description, information regarding them is often scanty, and, moreover, is not well known. It is proposed to divide the awards in three classes: (1) General; (2) Physical and Mathematical Sciences; and (3) Biological Sciences (including Geology and Geography).
