Abstract
I HAVE read with deep interest the leading article entitled “The State and the National Museums” which appeared in NATURE of March 11. As a zoologist my interest is chiefly centred in the Natural History Museum at South Kensington, and I most heartily agree with the statement that “the development of the Natural History Museum has been grievously hampered by the persistent attempt made to fit it to a system devised... especially for the great library [at Bloomsbury], which has, in fact, always tended to overshadow the rest of the museum.”
