(From the Annual Report 1955, the Stoneham Museum) MEXICO Museum of ceramics On the initiative of the governor of the state of Jalisco and following the advice of Pr. A. Caso of the Mexico Instituto nacional indigenista, a regional museum of ceramics has been opened at San Pedro Tlaquepaque (5 miles from the town of Guadalajara). The valley of Atemajac in the South eastern part of the State of Jalisco is inhabited by five groups of peoples who from times which it is not possible to date with precision have always been potters. The extraordinary skill of the potters, the variety of objects and the rich decorations, have always enabled the natives to sell their production, but the development of tourism and imitations of inferior quality would have affected the output. Now the museum enables the potters to refer to traditional forms and techniques and to continue using first-quality material. Moreover the museum furnishes them with a sales room and approximately fifty potters are thus able to sell their wares. The Mexican national museum of popular arts and crafts is responsible for the administration and running

New rooms have been opened at the Museum für Völkerkunde, others still have a temporary equipment until remodelling will have been completed. New premises having been attributed for reserve collections it has been possible to turn certain rooms into exhibition galleries, but the increase in the museum's collections and the need for a complete reorganisation of the displays make it imperative that new galleries should be added and that modern equipment be installed throughout. Attendance increased from 33,844 in 1953 to 45,304 in 1954. The six important temporary exhibitions were very successful and especially appreciated by students and workers.

HOFFMAN (Bloemfontein) Both museums and universities are dependent upon the Department of Education for their finances, and their scientific work in many respects covers the same field so that a closer co-operation between these institutions seems very essential. A practical scheme was discussed by the directors of three of the State museums at a meeting in
