    In the Minutes for the Council Meeting of 22 April 1948, it was recorded that since gold was unobtainable, then replica Gold Medals would be awarded with a cash equivalent. In the Council Minutes for 20 April 1940, it was resolved unanimously that the Gold Medal be awarded to Dr. L. D. Barnett. This was also recorded in the Report of the Anniversary General Meeting in the Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society, 1950, p.217. There is a report of the Presentation in the same Journal, p.208.
