A small museum may -do a wonderful amount of good work by 

 keeping in view collections to illustrate the following : — 



A. L Geomorphology. 



Anthropogeography, Zoogeography (less above) — evolu-

 2. Biogeography. 



2^. Zoogeography. 

 2-. Phytogeography. 



B. Economic Studies (well illustrated).
