ORGANIZATION 
The National Museum is an outgrowth of the Geological Survey, with 
which it has been closely connected since 1842, when the Geological Survey 
was founded. The association has been natural and mutually advantage- 
ous. Nevertheless, it is one that has required modification at various times, 
chiefly in the interests of the Museum, and a further adjustment appears 
to be desirable now. 
Reference has already been made to the extent to which museum activi- 
ties, especially exhibition work, are hampered by lack of room in the 
Museum building, due to the building being shared with several other 
branches of the Department of Mines, and with the National Art Gallery.
