Abstract
WE have been asked by Prof. Meldola, the Hon. Organising Secretary to the Sylvester Memorial, to state that this Fund has now been closed, the subscriptions amounting altogether to over 890l. The capital sum has been invested by Lord Rothschild, the Treasurer of the Fund, on behalf of the subscribers, and the dividends will be transmitted to the Treasurer of the Royal Society. The engraving of the dies has been entrusted to Mr. John Pinches, and it has been decided that the material of the medal shall be bronze, that the award shall be triennial and irrespective of nationality, and that the recipient of the medal shall receive the accumulated(triennial) interest of the Fund, after deducting the cost of striking the medal. An autotype print of the medal will be presented to the subscribers by Prof. J. M. Peirce(of Harvard University) as soon as the dies have been engraved.
