Abstract
ACCORDING to the report of the Natural History Section, the year 1909–10 was an important one in the development of the Indian Museum, Calcutta, as it owitnessed not only a reorganisation of the staff of that section, but likewise the passing of an Act to give greater independence to the constituent auctions in the matter of scientific and educational work, and also to permit the respective chiefs of the same to become ex officio members of the board of trustees. As a result of the new regulations, it will be possible to separate the archæological from the zoological section, and to place the former under the control of the director of the Archæological Survey. Among the additions during the year, attention is directed to the cast of a susu, or river-dolphin, from the Hughli.
