ABSTRACT THE Parliamentary Report of the Trustees of the British Museum, which has been lately issued, tells us that during the past year much progress has been made in arrangements for
removal of the natural history collections, and in preparations for their reception in the new buildings designed for them at South Kensington. New cases and fittings have been provided and
erected for the departments of botany and mineralogy, and in part for that of geology; and the transference of these three collections to the new museum will probably be effected in the
course of the present year. The galleries vacated by these collections will be at once made use of for the exhibition of objects of archaeological interest which have been accumulating for
many years, and from want of space have been stored away in imperfectly-lighted rooms in the basement of the British Museum. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a
