Abstract
THE circulating loan collections of natural history specimens, referred to by Dr. Gladstone in his letter on this subject as being established at Liverpool, have been provided and organised not by the School Board but by the Free Library and Museum Committee of the Corporation. They owe their origin almost entirely to the Rev. H. H. Higgins, chairman of the Museum Sub-Committee, and their great value is due to the close personal attention which that gentleman and the Curator of the Museum (Mr. T. J. Moore) have bestowed on them. The specimens included in the collections are not only typical, but are of excellent quality, and cannot fail to arouse the interest of the children before whom they are brought. So far as the experiment has already gone it has proved very successful, and deserves to be widely known.
