others, and numerous plants have been brought in from time

Economic Biology. 



Numerous enquiries respecting insect pests have been 

 answered, and the pamphlets of the Agricultural Fisheries 

 Board sent out whenever necessary. 



The flour-milling collection has been arranged in accord- 

 ance with a diagram, which illustrates the whole process of 

 milling, and a complete set of explanatory labels has been 

 added. 



The formation of an Overseas Section at the Royal 

 Agricultural Show, held on Durdham Down in July, resulted 

 in the presentation of a fine series of Economic products from 

 Grenada, Demerara, Antigua, Dominica, the West India 

 Committee, and the Federated Malay States. These products 

 consist of oil-seed, oils, a fine series of rubber, cotton, wool, 

 fibres, cassava, rice, sugar, cocoa, copra, fruit and sugar 

 canes. 



The Economic products of Grenada, Antigua, and the 

 West Indies have been mounted, and in part arranged in 

 table and wall cases, and the remainder will be similarly 

 treated. It is hoped that these collections will become the 

 nucleus of a series which will illustrate in some measure the 

 Economic resources of the British Dominions beyond the 

 Seas.
