RESOLUTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS. XXXill 
for the War Museum, and (2) their disapproval of the delay in bringing the 
buildings and equipment of our National Museum of Science up to a standard 
commensurate with the national importance of pure and applied science. 
The Committee consider that the Council of the British Association should, 
either alone or in conjunction with other bodies, take steps to urge upon the 
authorities the vital importance of providing adequate museum accommodation 
in subjects so fundamentally essential to our national development and well-being. 
From Section H. 
To recommend that the Council of the British Association urge upon the 
Government the desirability of providing at not too distant a date adequate and 
suitable accommodation for the proper housing and display of the national 
scientific collections. 
From Section K. 
That the Council of the British Association urge the Government to expedite 
the completion of the Science Museum and the transfer of the Jermyn Street 
Geological Museum to South Kensington as recommended in the Report pre- 
sented in 1911 and 1912 by the Departmental Committee. 
From Section L. 
That Section L cordially agrees with the protest being presented against the 
‘delay which has taken place in the completion of the scheme of the National 
Museum for Science. 
From Section M. 
The Committee of Section M is strongly of opinion that every effort should 
be made at the present time to secure as rapidly as possible the accommodation 
necessary for the adequate housing of the Science collection. 
It is particularly anxious that suitable provision should be made for an 
agricultural exhibit worthy of the prominent position which agriculture occupies 
among the industries of this country. 
From the Conference of Delegates of Corresponding Societies. 
To represent to His Majesty’s Government the urgent need for more ample 
provision for the Science Museum, and for closer co-ordination between the 
principal national collections of scientific material. 
OtuerR RESOLUTIONS. 
From Sections C, D, G, H, I, M, and the Conference of Delegates of 
Corresponding Societies. 
To represent to His Majesty’s Government, in view of recent proposals to 
utilise for naval, military, or commercial purposes sites of historic or scientific 
interest or of natural beauty, such as Avebury, Holmbury Hill, and Lulworth 
Cove and its neighbourhood, the urgent need of more effective protection of 
such sites from disfigurement or obstruction. salle 
From Sections C, E, G, H, I, M, and the Conference of Delegates of 
Corresponding Societies. 
To request the Director-General of the Ordnance Survey to reconsider his 
decision to discontinue the issue by the Ordnance Survey of quarter-sheets of 
the six-inch map on the ground that, if quarter-sheets are not available, teachers, 
students, and others engaged in various kinds of research on local’ and regional 
distributions will be put to expense and inconvenience in providing themselves 
with the sheets necessary for their work." . TSOWR Se EN RE re
