Abstract
WE have received the annual report of the Imperial Institute, recently presented by the director, Sir Harry A. F. Lindsay, to the Board of Governors (London: Imperial Institute, 2s.). This gives a general account of the activities of the Institute and details of many special investigations which have been made with Empire products. These comprise work on silk, cordage fibres, tung oil, shellac, hides and loather, oil seeds, tanning materials, drugs and insecticides, and the analyses and investigations of various minerals. The report directs attention to the wide range of valuable minerals produced in the Union of South Africa. The use made by the public of the oxhibition galleries, and the provisions made for educational purposes are dealt with in the report, which indicates clearly the very useful purposes served by the Imperial Institute.
