ABSTRACT WTHAT sort of reference library can be provided in connection with the natural history collections when they are moved from the British Museum to South Kensington? is a subject now

under consideration. It is stated ol good authority that, so far as the building arrangements at Kensington go, no provision whatever has been made for library space, and that in the Act

passed at the end of last session to enable the trustees to move the collections, a reference library seems to have been entirely overlooked. That Act has, however, been the subject of a

resolution by the General Committee of the British Association, requesting the Council to take such steps in the matter as they might deem expedient; and although the resolution had

principal reference to the administration of the collections, its force extends equally to such an important matter as a library, should the Council “deem it expedient” to include that

subject. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview of subscription content, access via your institution ACCESS OPTIONS Access through your institution Subscribe to
