THE GREATER COLONIES. 
These Colonies do not participate in the grant, but the Committee think that the 
summaries of replies from them which are given in Appendix II will be found of 
considerable interest, as affording a brief account of the principal researches which 
are in progress and the more important directions in which new investigations are 
required. °The Committee regret that from several Colonies of this class no replies 
have yet been received, and they trust that the Governments of those Colonies will see 
their way to supply information regarding local needs and activities in the sphere of 
research, which can lie included in the next report and will serve to complete the 
review of the position of the Colonies in this matter. 
The Committee are impressed with the magnitude of the research work which 
remains to tie done in many directions, and particularly in the domains of geology, 
mineralogy and forestry.
