Abstract
POST-WAR reconstruction promises to extend to museums, demanding from them not only rehabilitation after the neglect of the war years but also extended activities along both recreational and educational lines. Aims must be re-examined, collections overhauled or replaced, and exhibitions devised anew. Museum officials, amply supplied with textbooks on systematics, have hitherto been forced to delve laboriously in professional journals in search of papers on museum problems of preservation and presentation. For their especial needs, the Museums Association is publishing a series of handbooks, and that under notice surveys geology in the museum.
