A pleasing little ceremony preceded the lecture which Professor J Chair of "Geology in Glasgow who occupies the
University with so much distinotion, gave before the Royal Geographical Society on his recent expedition into the Alps of South-Western China. The meeting was selected by the Societe de Geographic of Paris as an appropriate one for the presentation to Professor Gregory of one of its gold medals known as the Prix Eugene Gallois. The medal, which was presented by the French Ambassador, was conferred on Professor Gregory for his geographical work in East Africa in connexion with the great Rift Valley, first in 1892-3, and more recently in 1919. The medal was instituted in 1920, and Professor Gregory is the first British geographer on whom the honour has been conferred.
