Abstract
IT is the duty of your President at this annual meeting of our Society to address you on a very important subject. I allude, of course, to the award of the Gold Medal which is annually conferred by the Royal Astronomical Society on some astronomer who has rendered signal service to our science. The discharge of that duty is, perhaps, the most responsible official act which devolves on the occupant of this chair during his tenure of the distinguished position of President. I am to set forth the ground upon which on the present occasion the medal has been awarded by your Council to our distinguished Fellow, Mr. W. F. Denning.
