Abstract
THE report for 1907 of the National Physical Laboratory, presented to he general board on the occasion of the annual meeting and inspection of the laboratory on March 20, contains abundant evidence of the rapid growth and extension of its activities during the past few years, as well as of the usefulness and importance of the research work which such an institution is able to undertake. Following closely upon the report of the Treasury Committee, which has done valuable service, both to the laboratory and to the public, in defining more precisely the limits to be set and the conditions to. be observed in regard to the acceptance of certain classes of test work, this account of the past year's work affords conclusive evidence that the organisation of special departments for the verification of instruments and examination of materials need be no hindrance to the concurrent prosecution of those researches which constitute the most important part of the laboratory's work.
