Abstract
WE print to-day the Report of the Committee appointed by the Treasury on the Scientific Collections at South Kensington under the control of the Science and Art Department. It is some seventeen years since the Duke of Devonshire's Commission recommended their formation, and it would seem now that something may really be done after so long a delay. The Committee, it will be seen, discuss both the question of a new building and that of the proper organization of such collections. The eminence of the members of the Committee adds great weight to their recommendations, and the Report has been very favourably received by the Press.
