 united and combined action we should force our high standing in the 

 scientific development of our country. If we were more united we 

 could press the necessity of more teaching of natural history in our 

 schools and colleges; equip school museums out of the abundance of 

 material we have ; organise popular lectures on subjects of general 

 interest in natural history ; press the necessity of the publication of 

 handbooks on our subjects, suitable for South African schools ; foster 

 the knowledge of economic zoology and botany ; in fact, if we were 

 propeily organised we could find a hundred and one different ways in 

 which we could make more use of the money in our institutions, be of 

 far greater benefit to the country, and, abo\e all, advance science far 

 more effectively than we have been able to do up to the present. 



A few thoughts on our ethnographical collections T hope to be 

 able to lay before vou in another section.
