Abstract
LITTLE more than ten years have come and gone since the suggestion was first made that j lack of co-ordination, in the scientific departments of India, had often resulted in needless duplication, in useless departmental jealousies, and in the divorce of what may be called economic research from commerce and industry. Under Lord Cur-zon's enlightened guidance this impasse led to the formation of the Board of Scientific Advice for India. Since 1902 each year has witnessed important advances of a gratifying nature, so that it may be said that the annual reports of the Board, of which that for the year 1915-16 is before us, epitomise certain aspects of the scientific work accomplished in India.
