and, if desirable, for action :— 
RESOLUTIONS RELATING TO ScteENcCE Museum BuiupIneG, SouTH 
KENSINGTON. 
From Section A. 
(1a) The Committee of Section A, having learned with regret that it is the inten- 
tion of the Government to complete at present only a portion of the accommodation 
for the science collections, which Sir Hugh Bell’s Committee considered urgently 
required, request the Council to take such steps as may seem to them most 
suitable to secure a reconsideration of the question with a view to the early 
completion of the whole plan. 
-From Section B. 
(1b) That in the opinion of this Section the establishment of a Science Museum, 
representative of all branches of Science, in which Chemistry shall be fully 
represented, is of great importance, and urges that the scheme proposed in 
1912 be carried out with the least possible delay. 
From Section C. 
(Ic) The Sectional Committee of Section C is strongly of opinion that the general 
scheme for museum buildings should be continued and regarded as urgent, and 
that, in particular, part of the scheme relating to the transfer of the Museum 
of Practical Geclogy and the offices of the Geological Survey should be effected 
without delay. 
The Committee believes that it would be of great advantage to the public 
that the stratigraphical, paleontological, mineralogical, and economic exhibits 
in the National Museum should be housed in close proximity with one another. 
From Section D. 
(1d) That this Section hopes that the scheme of 1913 for the complete housing of 
the Science Museums in South Kensington be proceeded upon with all possible 
expedition. 
From Section E. 
(le) The Committee of Section E learn with regret that the science collections 
at the Science Museum, South Kensington, are being withdrawn from exhibition 
for a considerable period on atcount of lack of space. 
They recommend that the General Committee should urge strongly upon 
H.M. Government the importance of completing the whole of the eastern block 
of the new Science Museum buildings forthwith, and of carrying out as soon as 
may he practicable the building scheme prepared by the Departmental Committee 
of 1910-12. 
From Section G. 
(1f) The Committee, having considered the letter of Sir Hugh Bell, desire to 
place on record (1) their regret at learning that the already inadequate accom- 
modation of the Science Museum has been further curtailed to make room
