3. Describe the several structures which are blended together in the for- 
mation of a tooth, and their relative proportions. Add also how you would dis-

without reference to size. 
4. In looking into the eye of a horse, an aperture of an oval shape is 
observed, which, on exposing the eye to a strong light, is diminished in size, 
and to weak light increased in size. Explain by what means these changes are 
produced. 
5. Say in what part of the eyeball the retina — the seat of vision — is 
located, and what it consists of. 
6. Name the several component parts of the skin, stating which of them 
is developed to the greatest extent where the skin is thickest, and which of 
them becomes thicker than natural by attrition. 
7. Say how you would recognise the kidney of an ox from that of any 
other animal of the farm. Describe also the ordinary constituents of the 
urine. 
8. Name the vessels and their situation by which the urine is conveyed into 
the bladder, and the structural arrangement by which its immediate escape 
therefrom is prevented. 
9. Describe the period of utero-gestation in the mare, cow, sheep, and 
pig, and say in which of these animals the uterus from its length and size 
has an appearance similar to a portion of intestine. Explain the reason of 
this development. 
10. Given that the small and large intestines are subdivided, name the

2. Give the scientific names, or the corre.sponding j>opular namc.s, of the

3. Mention one or more orders of insects in which tlie shape is entirely dis-

which the shape in each of these stages is nearly similar. 
4. State shortly the chief characteristic differences between the larval 
conditions of moths, beetles, and two- winged flics ; or state, has a fly maggot

allies,” commonly infesting clover or field beans. 
6. Mention shortly anything }'ou know aVrout prevention of attack of bean-
