NA TURAL SCIENCE A T OXFORD 



THE following regulations have been issued for the 

 Final Honour Examination in the Natural Science 

 School : — 



Biology. — i. Candidates who offer themselves in the 

 Final Honour Examination for examination in Biology 

 will be expected to show an acquaintance, firstly, with 

 General and Comparative Anatomy ; secondly, with 

 Human and Comparative Physiology, inclusive of Physio- 

 logical Chemistry ; and thirdly, with the General Philo- 

 sopliy of the subject. 



2. In these subjects the candidates will be examined 

 both by paper work and practically ; and will be required 

 to give evidence of being competent not merely to verify 

 and describe specimens already prepared for naked-eye or 

 microscopic demonstration as the case may be, but also 

 to prepare such or similar specimens themselves. 



3, The following works are provisionally recommended 

 by the Board of Studies for use in the study of the above- 

 mentioned Departments of Biology. When the letter F 

 or G is prefixed to the title of a work, it will be under- 

 stood to indicate that the work is written in French or 

 German, and is not as yet translated into English : —

4. Candidates may, in addition to the amount of work in- 

 dicated in the preceding paragraphs, bring up any of the 

 " Special Subjects " contained in the list appended below. 

 A candidate who offers himself for examination in a special 

 subject will be expected to show, firstly, a detailed prac- 

 tical acquaintance with specimens illustrating that subject, 

 for which purpose the catalogues in the University 

 Museum can be made available ; and, secondly, exact 

 knowledge of some one or more monographs treating of 

 it. Excellence, however, in a special subject will not 

 compensate for failure in any essential part of the general 

 examination. Every candidate must state, at the time of 

 entering his name for examination, what special subject, if 

 any, he takes in. List of special subjects and of books 

 recommended in connection with them : —
