RECOMMENDATIONS TO LOCAL COMMITTEES.

1. THE Examination room must be large enough to accommodate all the Candidates.

2. Desks must be provided so as to allow to all the Candidates at least four feet in length apiece, without requiring them to be seated on opposite sides.

3. The desks for drawing must be so placed that the Candidates may have the light upon their left hand, unless the room be lighted from the top.

4. A table in each of the Examination rooms, and one drawer or cupboard furnished with lock and key, will be required for the use of the Examiner.

5. Pens, ink, writing and blotting paper must be provided. The paper must be of the size called "Cambridge Scribbling Demy." Each sheet should be cut in four, and may be ruled or not. If ruled, the ruling of each quarter-sheet should be parallel to the shorter sides. Paper of this size can be procured from Spalding and Hodge, 145, Drury Lane; King and Loder, 239, Thames Street; Batty, Partington and Son, 174, Aldersgate Street, London; and from all Stationers in Cambridge.

The quarter-sheets must have a hole punched in the lefthand top corner, and pack thread or the metal binders sold by Perry and Co. should be provided in order to fasten each student's papers together.

6. The Local Committee should arrange so that at least one of their number may attend in the Examination room.

The writing-paper, &c. should be distributed for the use of the Candidates ten minutes before the hours fixed for the commencement of work.

Examination in Drawing.

1. Drawing-boards in size about 23 inches by 16 will be required. If regular drawing-boards cannot be obtained, pieces of deal of the required size, planed smooth and true, will answer the purpose, provided the edges are straight and the corners truly squared.

2. Drawing-pins at the rate of at least half-a-dozen to each Candidate should be supplied: they can be obtained at any good colour-shop.

3. Some arrangement by which a Candidate can place the drawing which she has to copy in a convenient position before her is desirable.

4. Candidates must bring their own instruments for linear drawing, and drawing-materials. Paper will be provided by the University.

Examination in Chemistry.

1. A separate room should, if possible, be provided for the examination in Practical Chemistry. The tables in this room should be of the plainest description, (as they are likely to be stained by the chemical reagents,) and large enough to allow each Candidate a space not less than 5 feet long and 20 inches wide.

2. A common earthen vessel should be provided for every two Candidates, into which they may empty their test-tubes.

3. A supply of distilled water (which may be had from any respectable Chemist) must be provided at the rate of one pint at least for each Candidate.

4. The Candidates in Practical Chemistry will have to be provided with a small quantity of apparatus, and reagents. They can bring such apparatus and reagents as they are used to; but a list is given as an indication of what will be sufficient for those who know how to use them. The list may be obtained from the Secretary.
