on the Senm' Examination, 1891.

introduction to one of the answers, which was, ' I know what a 
cartwheel is, right enough, but I can't sketch it ; it gets like a fly- 
wheel.' The questions which were dealt with in the most satis- 
factory manner were those connected with Physics or those in which 
some chemical knowledge was necessary. The information pos- 
sessed by the students relating to the properties of ordinary building 
materials is poor and seems to indicate that very little instruction is 
given in this subject." 
10. Of the optional subjects only four competitors out of twelve 
succeeded in satisfying the Examiner in Botany (Mr. W. Car- 
ruthers, F.R.S.), and the papers are characterised by him as 
" very poor, showing a want of accurate knowledge of Elementary 
Botany." The Examiners in Geology and Anatomy (Professor 
Rupert Jones and Professor Simonds) make no comments upon the 
quality of the papers submitted to them. The Examiner in Agri- 
cultural Entomology (Miss E. A. Ormerod) reports that, " as a 
whole, the candidates have very fairly correct views as to the eflects 
of good cultivation in lessening damage from insect attack, and in 
some cases there are good replies as to prevention of Turnip Flea 
Beetle attack, and also treatment of gi-ass and clover land before 
breaking up to clear wireworm. Warble attack they are also per- 
fectly at home in the cure of. It is to be wished, however, that 
they were more perfectly acquainted with the distinctions between 
insects in their grub and caterpillar (i.e. larval) state, as this is im- 
portant practically." 
11. The general result of the Examination shows a very satis- 
factory proportion of successes, but more attention appears to be 
necessary to the subject of Botany. 
12. The following Table gives the marks assigned by the 
Examiners to the work done by each candidate in the several 
subjects.
