Therefore it seems the models mentioned in the 
%S> 
Miscellaneous Section of the Exhibits have been 
omitted* The result is also that the collections 
lodged in the imperial institute are not attractive 
to the eyes of the ordinary sightseer, though

to the resources and industries of the Colony and 
Federated Malay States* First of all a large 
coloured map of the Colony and ‘Federated Malay States 
might be hung in a conspicuous position on one of the

walls. Ceylon, by means of a large board prominently 
displayed supplies statistics of its imports and 
exports for the last decade (the figures tor 1900 are 
not yet filled in) and on another board the population 
enumerated in the census of 1891 is compared with 
that of 1881, A coloured diagram shows the progress 
of the tea industry in that Colony since its inception

These are features that might well be imitated, the 
trade returns of the Colony and federated Malay 
States being kept separate and the tin exported irom 
the Malay States taking the place of tea. Ceylon 
shows a model of a tea factory and Natal has a model

photographs and some stands of photographs might well
