9. George Bowman, Upleatham R.S.O., Yorkshire. 
10. Martin Hammond Ward, The^ Agricultural College,

4. Of the compulsory subjects, there were eight failures in 
Agriculture, seven in Cliemistry, four in Book-keeping, seven in 
Land Surveying, and three in Agricultural Engineering. Of the 
optional subjects, there were six failures in Botany, three in 
Anatomy, and one in Agricultural Entomology. There were no 
failures in Geology. 
5. Taken as a whole, the results of the Examination appear to 
be satisfactory, though there arc still some points in which the 
teaching given to the candidates is susceptible of improA’ement. 
Thus the Examiner in Agricultural Engineering urges greater 
attention to drawing, and the Examiner in Anatomy and Animal 
Physiology regrets that the students’ “ knowledge of Anatomy and 
“ Animal Physiology is derived in a great measure from the study 
“ of works relating chielly to the human subject. Whether this 
“ may be partly due to the instruction given by the science 
“ teacher, or depend principally on the students’ reading, is difficult 
“ to determine ; but, whatever may be the cause, it is much to be 
“ regretted. It should ever be borne in mind that the object of 
“ acquiring a knowledge of Animal Anatomy and Physiology is that 
“ the candidates for examination should be well acquainted with the 
“ structure and functions of the several organs of domestic animals, 
“ especially those Avhich may be said to be daily under their care, as 
“ ‘ the Animals of the Farm.’ ” 
6 . The following Table gives the marks assigned by the 
Examiners to the work done by each candidate in the several sub- 
jects ; —
