Abstract
IN your notice of the various transfers of the India Museum (vol. xii. p. 192), you do not allude to the somewhat important fact that from 1869 up to the recent opening of the new museum the whole of the Natural History Collections have been kept in closed boxes in the cellars of the India Office.* This has been a grievous wrong to working naturalists, who have constantly required access to typical specimens to solve various points of inquiry.
