THE INDIAN MUSEUM: 1814-1914. 
occupying a considerable area, this floor is entirely devoted 
to the laboratories of the Zoological and Anthropological 
Section, the offices of that g£nd of the Archaeological Sec¬ 
tions and a large gallery, at present used as a store-room by 
the Art Section, with a small office at its south end. 
The Sudder Street Block contains not only the Ethno¬ 
logical Gallery (on the first storey) and the Industrial Gallery 
(on the second) but also the laboratories of the Indian Tea 
Association and the offices and store-rooms of the Industrial 
Section. The use of the whole of the ground floor is now 
granted by the Trustees to the Association, while the top 
floor and part of the first storey are occupied by the 
Section, not only as offices but also to house a library, 
herbarium, etc. 
The New Wing contains on the ground floor an extensive 
gallery that will ultimately form an addition to the exhibi¬ 
tion-space of the Archaeological Section. This gallery is 
surrounded by a hanging balcony from which, at the south 
end, a few steps lead to a strong room in which the collection 
of coins is kept. 
The photographs reproduced in this volume should give 
a good idea of the style of the buildings, but owing to certain 
architectural features of the galleries and to the crowded 
condition of most of them, it has not been found possible to 
obtain satisfactory views of their interior as a whole and 
special objects or exhibits have, therefore, been chosen to 
represent them.
