Abstract
LAST year, in Nature November 27, p. 861, it was reported that the Government of the Union of South Africa had set up a Commission to inquire into the financial position of certain State-aided institutions which, it was then understood, included certain museums, art galleries and zoological gardens. An announcement in the Government Gazette (Pretoria) for March 4 of this year extends the field of inquiry, and lists the institutions concerned, as follows : the South African Museum, Cape Town ; the Transvaal Museum, Pretoria ; the Natal Museum, Pietermaritzburg ; the Orange Free State Museum and Monument Museum, Bloemfontein ; the Voortrekker Museum, Pietermaritzburg ; the South African War Museum, Johannesburg ; the South African National Art Gallery, Cape Town ; the Michaelis Collection, Cape Town; the National Zoological Gardens, Pretoria ; and the National Botanical Gardens, Kirstenbosch.
