Abstract
“J. P.” suggests, under the head of “Museum Reform” (vol. xvi. p. 183), the idea of a conference of museum keepers, out of which a permanent union among museum officers might result, I am of opinion that this idea is an excellent one, and that the administration of the museums of all countries would gain a great deal if an opportunity to museum officers were oflered to interchange their opinions and to communicate to each other their different practical experiences. Perhaps some arrangements and rules might generally be accepted, as, e.g., to labelling specimens, exchanging duplicates, publishing annual reports in a journal ad hoc, &c.
