100. Foreign and Colonial exhibitors should apply to the Commission, or other Central Authority appointed by the Foreign or Colonial Government, as soon as notice has been given of its appointment.
101. Her Majesty's Commissioners will consider that to be the Central Authority in each case which is stated to be so by the Government of its country, and will only communicate with Exhibitors through such Central Body.
102. No articles of foreign manufacture, to whomsoever they may belong, or wheresoever they may be, can be ad- mitted for exhibition, except with the sanction of the Central Authority of the country of which they are the produce. Her Majesty's Commissioners will communicate to such Cen- tral Anthority the amount of space which can be allowed to the productions of the country for which it acts, and will also stay the further conditions and limitations which may from time to time be decided on with respect to the admission of articles. All articles forwarded by such Central Authority will be admitted, provided they do not require a greater ag- gregate amount of space than that assigned to the country from which they come; and, provided also, that they do not viclate the general conditions and limitations. It will rest with the Central Authority in each country to decide upon the merits of the several articles presented for exhibition, and to take care that those which are sent are such as fairly re- present the industry of their fellow countrymen.
103. Separate space will be allotted to each Foreign Coun- try, within which the Commissioners for that country will be at liberty to arrange the productions entrusted to them in such manner as they think best, subject to the condition that all Machinery shall be exhibited in the portion of the Building specially devoted to that purpose, and all Pictures in the Fine Art Galleries, and to the observance of any general rules that may be laid down by Her Majesty's Commissioners for public convenience.
104. By arrangements made with Her Majesty's Govern- ment, all Foreign or Colonial Goods intended for exhibition, sent and addressed in accordance with Regulations hereafter to be issued, will be admitted into the country, and allowed to be transmitted to the Exhibition Building without being previously opened, and without payment of any duty. But all Goods which shall not be re-exported at the termination of the Exhibition will be charged with the proper duties, under the ordinary Customs' Regulations. (105-108 )*
109. It is not the intention of Her Majesty's Commissioners to take any steps in reference to the protection of Inventions or Designs, by Patent or Registration, the law on these points having been materially simplified since 1851.

39. Sculpture, Models, Die-sinking and Intaglios. 40. Engravings and Etchings.

112. It is not proposed to award PRIZES in this Section. 113. PRICES will be not allowed to be affixed to any Work of Art exhibited in this Section.
114. One half of the space to be allotted to Section IV. will be given to Foreign Countries, and one half will be reserved for the works of British and Colonial Artists.
115. The subdivision of the space allotted to Foreign Countries will be made, after consideration of the demands received from the Commission, or other Central Authority, of each Foreign Country. It is, therefore, important that these demands should be transmitted to Her Majesty's Cominissioners at the earliest possible date.
116. The arrangement of the Works of Art within the space allotted to each Foreign Country will be entirely under the control of the accredited representatives of that country, sub- jeet only to the necessary general regulations.

118. The space at the disposal of Her Hajesty's Commis- sioners for the display of British Art being limited, and it being at the same fine desirable to bring together as careful and perfect an illustration as possible, a selection of the works to be exhibited will be indispensable.
119 The selection of Exhibitors, the space and number of works to be allowed to each, and the arrangement of them will be entrusted to Committees to be nominated by Her Ma jesty's Commissioners.
120. In the case of living artists, Her Majesty's Commis- sioners would desire to consult the wishes of the artists them- selves as to the particular works by which they would prefer to be represented. Tie selection of works so made by the artists will not necessarily be binding upon Her Majesty's Commissioners, but in no case will any work by a living artist exhibited against his wish, if expressed in writing, and de- livered to the Commissioners on or before the 31st of March, 1862.
121. Her Majesty's Commissioners will avail themselves of the following eight Art Institutions of this country in com- municating with artists who are members of those Institutions, viz:-
The Royal Academy.

The Society of Painters in Water Colours,
The Society of British Artists,
