Zoology.

The questions will all be of an elementary character, and may relate to

The general characters of the following Groups :-Protozoa, Cœlenterata,
Annelida, Echinodermata, Arthropoda, Tunicata, Mollusca and Vertebrata
together with those of the several Classes of Vertebrata.

Attention is especially to be directed to the following Forms:-Hydra,
Actinia, Lumbricus, Asterias, Homarus, Blatta, Ascidia, Anodon, Buccinum,
Perca, Rana, Testudo, Columba and Mus.

The leading facts of the Geographical Distribution of Animals, and the
deductions which have been drawn from them.

The chief modifications of the skeleton and integuments, in the different Classes of Vertebrata. The form of the Nervous System, and the structure of the Organs of the Senses, and of the Digestive, Circulatory and Respiratory organs in the above-named Forms.

The functions of the nervous system: the processes of digestion, absorption, circulation, respiration and secretion; the ovum and the general development of the embryo in the Chick.

Specimens or characteristic figures of animals belonging to any of the above-named Groups, and preparations or figures of any of the abovenamed Organs in the above-named Forms will be exhibited to be determined or described.

[Preparations illustrating the structure of nearly all the Forms abovenamed are contained in the Educational Series in the Gallery of the Museum of Comparative Anatomy; and preparations of most of the above-named Organs are contained in the Physiological Series in the same Gallery.]

Geology.

The questions will all be of an elementary character, and may relate to—
The principal rock-forming minerals and the commoner rocks.
The leading facts of Physical Geography, especially the agencies which
produce important changes on the surface of the earth.

The order of superposition of the stratified rocks, and the commoner
fossils which characterise different geological horizons.

The general character and geographical distribution of the rocks in the
British Isles, and more particularly of those in the neighbourhood of
Cambridge.

Specimens of rocks and fossils will be given to be determined or de

scribed.

PREVIOUS EXAMINATION.

Additional Subjects for Candidates for Honours.

By Graces 1 Mar. 1883 it was determined,

[ocr errors]

'That the Additional Examination of Candidates for "Honours be discontinued",

and

"That some substitute for the Additional Examination of "Candidates for Honours be provided",

in each case with the proviso

[ocr errors]

"that no Grace sanctioning any part of the Report shall be
'operative until formal regulations dealing with the same
"subject shall have been sanctioned by the Senate".

The present Additional Subjects are understood to con-
tinue until others are put in their place. The Regulations
are as follows, Graces 6 Feb. 1873 and 29 May 1873.

[There shall be Additional Subjects of Examination in Mathematics for Candidates those Students who intend to be Candidates for Honours in any Tripos; and no Student shall be admitted to Examination as a Candidate for such Honours who has not passed an Examination in the said Additional Subjects and in both parts of the Previous Examination to the satisfaction of the Examiners. Grace 29 May 1873.]

Subjects, and in both

Parts of the Examination.

Additional

The said Additional Subjects shall be (1) Algebra, viz. the proofs of the rules of Arithmetical and Geometrical Progression, with simple exSubjects amples; easy problems in elementary Algebra; and the nature and use of enumerated. logarithms: (2) the elementary parts of Trigonometry, viz. the modes of measuring angles, trigonometrical ratios, functions of two angles, and the solution of triangles: and (3) Elementary Mechanics, viz. the composition and resolution of forces acting in one plane at a point, the mechanical powers, and the properties of the centre of gravity.

The Examination in the Additional Subjects shall be conducted by printed papers, containing questions on the principles and examples and applications arising out of the Subjects.

The Examination in the Additional Subjects shall be held twice in each year at the times of the Previous Examination according to a plan to be approved by the Vice-Chancellor.

Students whose names have been duly sent in to the Board of Examinations may present themselves for examination in the Additional Subjects at any Examination in those subjects.

[The names of those Students who have passed the Examination in the Additional Subjects to the satisfaction of the Examiners shall be placed alphabetically in one class, and the List published in the Senate-House at the same time with the Lists described in Regulation 11: but the name of no student in his first term of residence shall be placed in the list unless it shall appear that he has also been approved in both Parts of the Previous Examination. Grace 29 May 1873.]

The Syndicate recommend that the Examination for the Mathematical Tripos be conducted after January, 1882, in accordance with the following regulations:

1. The Examination for the Mathematical Tripos shall consist of three parts of three days each.

2. The Examination in Part I. shall be confined to the more elementary parts of Pure Mathematics and Natural Philosophy, as defined by Schedule I., the subjects to be treated without the use of the Differential Calculus and the methods of Analytical Geometry.

3. On the [seventh Report 12 Mar. 1883; Grace 15 Mar. 1883] day after the conclusion of Part I. the Moderators and Examiners shall declare what persons have so acquitted themselves as to deserve Mathematical Honours, or to deserve an B.A. Degree Ordinary B.A Degree, or to be excused from the General be excused Examination for the Ordinary B.A. Degree, and those Candidates only shall be admitted to the Examination in Part II. who are declared to have so acquitted themselves as to deserve Mathematical Honours.
