xxv. oldal - ... to accompany the medal, the remaining interest to be given in one or more portions, at the discretion of the council, for the encouragement 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 may be written.

123. oldal - Hinde to be of marine origin but uncertain date, only crystalline rocks are met with in the falls. They all appear to be igneous, and are mostly massive in character, though some dyke-rocks occur.

The prevailing type is acid, with a considerable proportion of alkalies, especially soda ; but some of the rocks are distinctly basic in character.
