held Science Examinations in two different classes of edu- 
cational institutions, viz., Training Colleges and the so-called 
Science Schools. The number of Training Colleges in 
England, Wales, and Scotland, in which the Department 
held Science Examinations in December, 1881, amounted to

For Masters only 17 
For Mistresses only 15

colleges ; all that is given in the Report are the number of
