Abstract

For the purpose of carrying out its research work the Organization has established a number of Divisions and Sections. The Divisions, of which there are now sixteen, comprise the major establishments, which may be further subdivided into Sections; there are also independent Sections comprising establishments which have not reached a stage of development, so far as the scope and magnitude of their operations are con cerned, to justify their designation as Divisions.

In the present Report an attempt has been made to group the material according to its subject matter rather than (as in the past) according to the Division or Section concerned. Additional chapters and appro priate cross references have been inserted, however, to permit the work of any particular Division to be reviewed as a whole.

As the Organization's investigations extend on a Commonwealth-wide basis and as many of the investi gations which are being conducted - particularly those concerned with problems affecting the agricultural and pastoral industries - necessitate experimental work in the field, a number of branch laboratories and field stations have been established in various parts of Australia.

The Head Office of the Organization is in Melbourne and associated with it are the Organization's Information Service, Central Library, and Central Experimental Workshops. [pages 9-10]
