the attention of the Governments of the Crown Colonies and of Public 
Bodies or Institutions in those Colonies may be called to the work which is 
being done by the Scientific and Technical Department of the Institute, 
and I am glad io comply with the request. 
2. The Department in question has for seven years past been 
gradually developed in regard to its resources and the usefulness of its 
work , and the Royal Commission for the Exhibition of 1851 now contributes 
a sum of <£2,000 per annum to its maintenance . ( It seems therefore to be a 
matter of direct interest to the commerce and industries of the various

Memorandum giving illustrations of the work has been drawn up , and
