Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report of the Provincial Museum of Natural History: For the Year 1938 It is a source Of general regret that Objects connected with the ethnology of the country are being yearly taken away in great numbers to the enrichment of other museums and private collections, while no adequate means are provided for their retention in the Province. Limited as such articles are in quantity, their loss is frequently irreparable, and when once removed from the locality of their production their scientific value and utility to the country are greatly lessened. There Is no doubt that the recent opening-up of British Columbia by railway enterprise will stimulate the development Of her mineral and other natural resources; hence, a museum where classified specimens Of ores, etc., may be examined will prove of practical benefit to the Province at large.
