These collections form a very valuable series, and are frequently consulted by merchants and manufacturers who are in search of new products or of new sources of known products. It is also possible to supply specimens of the products for tech- nical trials by manufacturers, or, if the quantity available at the Imperial Institute is not sufficient, to procure consignments from the Colonies where the material is known to occur.
The Exhibition Galleries, besides fulfilling educational and general purposes in affording an object lesson of the present condition and resources of the countries of the Empire, are also a valuable auxiliary to the scientific and technical work of the Imperial Institute.
