11. The Reports of the Examiners in the various subjects 

 are as follows : — 



Agricultural Botany. Professor John Percival, M.A., F.L.S. 

 Old Regulations (Part I.), 200 Marks. New Regulations, TOO Marks. 



A great many of the candidates sent up for the e.'iamination under the old regu- 

 lations had very little knowledge of their subject, and should not have entered. 



On the other hand those entering under the new regulations (which ought to, and 

 apparently do, secure a better training before sitting for the examination) were of 

 superior rnerit, their work reaching a considerably higher average standard than in 

 any previous examination. 



In regard to particular questions the only points worth noting were the tendency of 

 several candidates to confuse the problem of "nitrogen fixation" with the totally 

 different question of "nitrification," and a certain weakness iu describing the botanical 

 characters of farm plants.
