equipped in similar fashion to the Greville-Smyth room, 

 with which it communicates on the floor and gallery 

 levels, and will form a companion room to the latter. 



The ground-floor cases will be occupied by the 

 Museum collection of life-history groups of injurious 

 insects, with examples of the actual damage they do ; 

 examples of fungoid destructive agents, and of other 

 specimens which have a direct bearing upon agriculture 

 and fruit growing in the West of England. A typical 

 series of specimens illustrating the trunks, branches, 

 leaves, fruit, and winter and summer appearance of 

 British forest trees will occupy a special wall case. The 

 rest of the cases will be fitted with specimens arranged 

 in accordance with a system which has been drawn up 

 after consultation with the best authorities, and a careful 

 study of various Botanical Museums, including those of 

 the Royal Botanic Gardens, Edinburgh, and the Royal 

 Scottish Museum.

Botany. 



The Herbarium cabinet, and the general botanical 

 series have been removed to the upper room of the 

 Museum until the Dame Emily Smyth room is completed. 



The old botanical material has been taken out of 

 store, and all specimens suitable for exhibition, cleaned 

 and put into good order for immediate use. 



As the Dame Emily Smyth room is still in the 

 hands of the builders and case-makers, nothing can be 

 said of work accomplished. It is hoped however, that 

 the lines of development will prove to be well chosen, 

 and that an attractive and useful department will come 

 into being during the coming year.
