Abstract
THE new British Museum Bill which passed its third reading in the House of Lords on April 27 has become law. It is of profound importance to all research scientists in biology and geology; but it had a meteoric flight through the House of Commons and the House of Lords. Its transit was apparently unheralded in the Press: its purport is of such national importance that it is surprising that no reference to the course it took through the Houses of Commons and Lords was available to biologists all over the world.
