a portion of the Iliad at Moderations, nor will Candidates who have offered the Georgics at Responsions or the equivalent Examinations be allowed to offer a portion of the Æneid at Moderations.

A Candidate who is permitted to offer either Sanskrit or Arabic (p. 135) is required, until further notice, to select the book, or the two books, which he offers from the following lists: but in no case will a Candidate be allowed to offer the same book, or any part of it, in which he satisfied the Masters of the Schools.

(1) Sanskrit.

Pañéa-tantra: Book I, or Books II, III.

Raghu-vansa: I-VII.

Kumāra-sambhava: I-VII.

Bhagavad-gita: the whole.

Bhaṭṭi-kavya: I-V, with the commentary of Jaya-mangala.

(2) Arabic.

(1) Kur'an: Sur. 1, 19, 90-114, with the commentary of alBaidawi (ed. Fleischer) on Sur. 19.

(2) The Mu'allakāt: any two of the poems with the commentary (ed. Arnold).

(3) Al-Hariri: any three Makāmas with commentary.

(4) El-Fakhri (ed. Ahlwardt), pp. 1-175, or 176-390.

(5) [El-Beladhori]: Anonyme Arabische Chronik (ed. Ahlwardt, Bd. xi, ed. 1883), pp. 161-359.

Candidates who offer two Arabic books are required to offer either (1), or (2), or (3), with either (4) or (5).

Candidates are also required to translate short passages from books not specially offered by them, and, unless they offer Latin, to translate from English into the language which they offer.

(5) Translation of passages of Greek and Latin books which have not been specially offered.

4. ORDER OF THE EXAMINATION.-The Examination is conducted chiefly in writing, partly also viva voce. On the first day of the Examination the Candidates assemble at the Schools, and are supplied with printed questions on each of the five subjects successively, though not always in the same order. On succeeding days the Candidates are examined viva voce in two divisions, to each of which three Moderators are assigned. Not more than sixteen Candidates are thus examined every day in each division: those who are also Candidates for Mathematical Honours (see p. 142) are examined first. A list of the order in which Candidates are required to appear is prepared by the Clerk of the

Schools and exhibited in the Hall of the Schools; and Candidates should be careful to consult it from day to day. If any Candidate fails to appear at the required time, he is liable to have his name struck off the list, unless he satisfies the Vice-Chancellor that he has a valid reason for absence, in which case another place in the order of the Examination is assigned to him by the Moderators.

At the close of each day's viva voce examination, every Candidate who has satisfied the Moderators in each of these five subjects receives, on application to the Clerk of the Schools, a written Testamur, signed by the Moderators, to that effect. Any Candidate who fails to satisfy the Examiners may offer himself again at any subsequent Examination, provided that on each occasion of his so offering himself he gives in his name to the Junior Proctor, and otherwise complies with the conditions mentioned above (p. 134). As in the case of Responsions, though the University imposes no limit to the number of times of candidature, each Society (see pp. 25-27) usually lays down a rule in this respect.

The names of all who have passed at each Examination are published in the University Gazette.

2. Examination of those who seek Honours
in Classics.

1. TIME.-The Examination is held in Hilary Term, and begins on the Thursday in the seventh week of full Term.

2. CANDIDATES.-The preliminary conditions are the same as are required from those who do not seek Honours, with the exception that they must have entered upon their fourth and not have exceeded their eighth Term from the Term of their Matriculation inclusively. (But members of an Affiliated College who wish to claim the privileges mentioned below, p. 224, must not, have been matriculated.)

3. ESTABLISHMENT, SERVANTS, AND GENERAL CHARGES.

Note.-In comparing the charges of the several Colleges in this section, it is important to observe that the same charges are not made uniformly under the same head.
