EEPORT ON THE SECTION OF TRANSPORTATION. 81 



I am much gratified to find that the interest shown by many rail- 

 roads officials and others when the work was first inaugurated still 

 continues, notwithstanding the fact that it has been found necessary to 

 delay the organization of the section upon a basis commensurate with 

 its importance. 



It is to be hoped that the affairs of the Museum will be in such a 

 condition as to permit the inauguration of active work early during 

 the coming fiscal year.
