Forestry IViuseum at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.— During the 
past few years, through the kindness of numerous contributors, it has 
been possible to acquire material to form the nucleus of a collection 
of exhibits illustrating British forestry. This collection is housed in 
Cambridge Cottage, formerly the residence of H.R.H. the late Duke 
of Cambridge, which was opened to the public in June last as a 
Forestry Museum. 
With the idea of making the Museum as comprehensive as possible 
the six available rooms have been apportioned as follows : — 
No. 1. — A collection of hand specimens of wood, fruits, seeds, 
photographs, &c, of various kinds of trees. 
Nos. 2 and 3. — Planks, transverse sections of trunks, and trunk 
specimens of trees, together with mounted herbarium specimens and 
photographs of trees. Whenever possible, planks are shown 7 ft. 
long, 3 in. thick, and the width of a tree. Trunk specimens are obtained 
6 ft. in length from the bases of trees, showing the buttresses, and 
transverse sections are 6 in. thick. 
No. 4. — A collection of diseases, due to various causes, which are 
found amongst forest trees. 
No. 5. — Collections of articles manufactured from British-grown 
timber, to represent the economic side of forestry. 
No. 6. — Various tools and models of machinery used in forestry 
operations. 
With the co-operation of estate owners and manufacturers it is 
hoped to make this museum as representative as possible of British 
forestry, and the Director of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, will 
be pleased to receive contributions of interesting specimens at any 
time. 
Withdrawal of Orders Relating to Foot-and-Mouth Disease in 
Surrey. — The Board of Agriculture and Fisheries, by Orders which

which were imposed by them on the movement of animals in con- 
nection with the recent outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease at Chobham, 
Surrey.
