Museums.—In a review of the work for the past year special 
mention must be made of the opening to the public, in June last, of 
the collection of exhibits illustrating British gionbrie which is 
housed in Cambridge Cottage, formerly the residence of H.R.H. the 
late Duke of Cambridge. During the past few years through the 
kindness of numerous contributors whose donations have already 
been duly recorded in the Bulletin, it has been possible to acquire 
the material necessary to form the nucleus of such a collection. 
At the close of the Japan-British Exhibition, held at Shepherd’s 
Bush, a large and interesting collection of varied products was 
obtained and is now being dealt wit 
As in former years an exhibit was prepared, mainly from material 
obtained from the Arboretum, and forwarded to the Bath and 
West and Southern Counties Society’s Show, held at Rochester. 
In the past year 175 contributors have presented a considerable 
number of miscellaneous products to the Museum, the more 
important donations having been, from time to time, recorded in the 
Bulletin. All available and fully labelled duplicate specimens have 
been distributed to various institutions including the following :— 
Museum, County Borough of Bolton ; atm Museum,
