Planters and residents in the Straits Settlements and Federated 
Malay States are at liberty to send (through the Colonial Secretary 
at Singapore) specimens of little known or new vegetable or mineral 
products of the Straits Settlements or Federated Malay States for 
examination at the Imperial Institute by whom a report will be 
made, through the Colonial Secretary. Specimens should, if pos- 
sible, consist of a few pounds of the material and should be accom- 
panied by full information especially respecting the precise locality 
in which the material is found and the extent of its occurrence. 
Attention may also be drawn to the “ Bulletin of the Imperial 
Institute ” published quarterly, which contains records of the inves- 
tigations conducted at the Imperial Institute, and special articles on 
tropical agriculture and the commercial and industrial uses of vege- 
table and mineral products. Copies of this publication, price 4 s. 6d. 
per annum (including postage), may be ordered through Messrs. 
Kelly & Walsh, Ltd., of Singapore. 
Special sample rooms have been arranged at the Imperial 
Institute, for the information of enquirers, in which materials which 
have been investigated and valued are available for reference. 
Important products are also shown in the Malaya Court in the 
Public Galleries of the Imperial Institute.
