Abstract
THE Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia has awarded the Hayden Medal to Prof. Huxley. The medal is of bronze, and, with the balance of the interest arising from a sum of 2,500 dollars given to the Academy by the widow of the late Prof. F. V. Hayden, is awarded annually “for the best publication, exploration, discovery, or research in the sciences of geology and palæontology, or in such particular branches thereof as may be designated.” The recipient in 1892 was Prof. E. Suess, and in 1891, Prof. E. D. Cope. Prof. J. Hall had the distinction of receiving the first award of the medal in 1890.
