Abstract
SIR ARTHUR SMITH WOODWARD, lately keeper of the Department of Geology, British Museum (Natural History), has been awarded the Hayden Memorial Geological Medal of the Academy of Natural Sciences, Philadelphia. This Medal, which is awarded every three years, has been given in recognition of Sir Arthur's notable contributions in the field of vertebrate and invertebrate palæontology. The Hayden award was founded at the Academy in 1888 as a memorial to Ferdinand Hayden, a member of the Academy's staff and director of the United States Geological Survey; former recipients of the award include Edward Drinker Cope, Thomas H. Huxley, William Berryman Scott and Andrew C. Lawson.
