§ LORD ARTHUR RUSSELLasked the First Commissioner of Works, What progress has been made in the Natural History Museum at South Kensington, and when the removal of the collections from the British Museum may be expected?
§ MR. GERARD NOEL, in reply, said, it depended very much on the Votes of the House when that work would be completed. At the present moment very costly fittings were being made for those collections; and he hoped that in the course of the present year the botanical and mineral collections would be placed in the new buildings.
