Abstract
FROM January 1 the exhibit of whales at the Natural History Museum will be closed to the public, and the removal of the specimens to the Hall in the new building, which was completed two years ago, will be commenced. Owing to the difficult economic position which has existed since the completion of the new building, money has hitherto not been available either for the removal of the exhibited specimens or for their erection in the new Hall. Means have, however, now been found to enable a start to be made with the work. Moreover, the old iron building in which the whales and dolphins have been exhibited for thirty-five years past is shortly to be pulled down to make way for a permanent building which is intended to provide storage and study-space mainly for the Department of Entomology.
