some interesting and valuable additions have been made to the 
collections. The work of checking and_ relabelling _ the

building may be redecorated.

reporting upon a large number of varied economic products and 
in furnishing general information to correspondents, casual 
callers, and to the many individuals who have systematically 
studied the collections.
