ber of Paste Board Boxes, and the Commissary General to furnish an 

 Estimate of the cost of making 20 Glass Cases. 



4. The Governor in Council considers it would not be expedient at 

 present to remove the Museum from the College rooms. If more 

 space is required, he believes it can be easily made available in the 

 College ; where, such of the duplicate specimens of the produce of the 

 country which have been selected by the Madras Central Committee 

 for the Grand Exhibition of Art and Industry, as may be suited for a 

 place in the Museum may be properly added to the present Collection. 



5. The Governor in Council approves of Dr. Balfour's suggestions 

 for the exchange of duplicates with other Museums, for the throwing 

 away of worthless specimens and for the preparation and printing of 

 Catalogues. 



6. The Governor in Council requests the attention of the College 

 Board to para. 19 of Dr. Balfour's Minute on the subject of the Collec- 

 tion of Sculptures on the College premises. 



7. The reports on Tanjore and Travancore referred to by Dr. Balfour 

 will be forwarded to the Committee for publication in their Journal, if, 

 on examination, they are found suitable.
