I. Schedules.

THE SPECIAL BOARD FOR MEDICINE (in conformity with

Regulation 10 for the Degree of Bachelor of Medicine,
Grace 15 Nov. 1883) issue for the guidance of Students pro-
ceeding to Medical and Surgical degrees the following
Schedules defining the range of the examination in
Chemistry and other branches of Physics, to take effect
as from the first day of January 1884.

CHEMISTRY.

I. The questions in Chemistry will have reference to the following elements and compounds: H, O, N, Cl, Br, I, S, C, Si, P, As, Sb, Bi, K, Na, Mg, Ca, Fe, Al, Cr, Mn, Zn, Cu, Pb, Hg, Sn, Ag, and the oxides, hydroxides, chlorides, and sulphides of these elements; H3N, H3P, H3As; HCl, HBr, HI, H&S, HNO3, H2SO4; the salts formed by oxides or hydroxides of the metals above-mentioned with the acids HCl, HBr, HI, HNO3, H2SO4; the salts formed by KHO, NаHO, H3N, Ca(OH)2 with the acids HClO, HCIO3, H3PO*, H3ASO, and with SO2, CrO3, and SiO2; the oxides of carbon; carbonates; paraffins; marsh-gas, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, carbon disulphide, olefiant gas, ethylene dichloride; benzene, nitrobenzene, aniline, phenol; cyanogen, prussic acid, the cyanides and ferrocyanides; cyanates, urea; the methyl and ethyl alcohols and ethers; glycerine; grape-sugar, cane-sugar; acetic aldehyde, chloral; the commoner acids of the acetic series, their metallic and ethereal salts; oxalic, succinic, tartaric, and citric acids; morphia, quinia, and strychnia.

The questions will refer to properties of the above elements and compounds as illustrating principles of Chemistry and as affording examples of

classes of chemical actions, rather than to details of manufacture or of technical application. Questions involving simple calculations depending directly on the principles may be proposed.

II. The examination in Practical Chemistry may include:

The preparation and collection of H, O, N, NO, CI, CO, CO2, SO2, H2S and the performance of experiments illustrative of the properties of these gases. The preparation of H3N, HCl, HNO3, KHO, NaHO, and the determination of the strength of solutions of these substances volumetrically, by specific gravity, or otherwise (standard solutions and tables being supplied). Determination of total, permanent, and temporary, hardness of a sample of water. Extraction of a crystallisable substance from a colloid mixture by dialysis. Preparation of the oxides, hydroxides, and commoner salts of K, Na, NH, Ag, Hg, Pb, Cu, Sn, Fe, Al, Mg. The performance of simple experiments directly connected with any of the foregoing chemical operations. Easy qualitative analysis, including the detection of the metals and acids, and the characteristic reactions of the other compounds, mentioned in section I of this schedule.

PHYSICS.

The questions in Physics may include:

I. The fundamental notions of velocity and acceleration, and their measures when uniform; composition of two or more velocities or accelerations; Newton's laws of motion; definitions and measures of force, work, and energy. The elementary parts of the Mechanics of solid and fluid bodies: namely, the physical properties of matter in its solid, liquid, and gaseous forms; the composition and resolution of two forces acting in one plane; gravity, weight, centre of gravity, density, and specific gravity; the mechanical powers and their properties; the pressure of liquids and gases; the laws of diffusion of gases; floating bodies; the construction and use of simple hydrostatic and hydraulic machines.

II. The elementary parts of Optics: namely, the laws of reflexion and refraction the formation of images by single reflectors and single lenses; the phenomena of dispersion by a prism; the construction of the eye.

III. The general laws of Heat in relation to expansion, liquefaction, and vaporisation; definition of temperature, measure of temperature, construction of common thermometers, and comparison of thermometric scales. Coefficient of expansion; expansion of water. Pressure of aqueous vapour; difference between saturated and unsaturated vapour; Dalton's laws; disappearance of heat during liquefaction of solids, and evaporation and expansion of gases. Measure of quantity of heat, specific heat. Communication of heat by conduction, convection, and radiation; relative conducting powers of common substances; comparative absorption of radiant heat from different sources in passing through air, glass, and rocksalt. Reflexion and absorption of heat at the surface of bodies.

IV. The elements of Electricity: namely, the development of electricity by friction; conductors and insulators; relation of positive and negative electric states; attraction and repulsion of electrified bodies; electroscopes. Electromotive force and potential; the quadrant electrometer; the laws of static induction and the action of condensers. The phenomena of current, or discharge, in conductors and in air; laws of resistance, Ohm's law; laws of electrolysis. The simple phenomena of magnetism and of magnetic induction; electro-magnets, influence of an electric current on a magnetic needle; laws of electro-magnetic induction. Construction and use of certain simple machines for generating electricity: namely, the plate electric machine, the electrophorus, the replenisher; the Smee, Daniell, Grove, Bunsen, Leclanché, and bichromate batteries; the Gramme machine; the inductioncoil.

In any of the four sections above defined, simple calculations or questions depending directly upon the facts or laws specified may be proposed.
