other end an or nftl riental wooden screen separates it 
from the Ceylon Court. This screen, by the way, 
* 
is surmounted by the word "Johore" in large letters, 
"Straits Settlements" appearing beneath in letters le$ 
than half the size. This would lead the ordinary 
spectator to infer that the collection represents 
Johore products only. 
Lighting of the Collection . 
3. The southern end of the court is fairly 
well lighted, but the northern end, which terminates 
in the blank wall above referred to, is only 
sufficiently illuminated (at any rate in winter) 
on bright days and the usual obscurity is largely 
contributed to by a wooden partition which shuts off 
the adjoining gallery now used as the School of 
7 / 0 od Carving. On the first occasion on which I 
ft 
visited the collection - a dull day in January - it 
was so dark that the labels on the exhibits at this 
end of the room could only be read with the greatest 
difficulty. This part of the court has been 
chosen for the exhibit of sarongs which require t 
to be seen in a good light to be appreciated. 
Arrangement of the Exhibits . 
4. The arrangement of the exhibits leaves a 
V \ ' " 1 
good deal to be desired, but the exigencies of space 
and possibly the condition in which some of the 
* 
exhibits arrived may have something to ho with this.
