340 Horse Breeding— County Committees. [July, 



The Committee does not recommend the inclusion in the agricul- 

 tural section of objects representing agricultural botany, entomology, 

 and geology, as it is stated that these should be associated with the 

 biological and geological teaching collections to which they are related. 

 It is proposed that the methods adopted for grouping and arranging 

 the objects should be such as to obviate the risk of their presenting 

 no agricultural sequence. Horticulture and forestry would not be 

 included in the collection, as these subjects form part of the museums 

 of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.
