V. HUMAN ANATOMY, including ANTHROPOLOGY. The Systematic and Practical Classes and Laboratory Work, detailed under Synopsis of Classes".

66

Examination.-Systematic and Structural Anatomy, including Embryology. No reference will be made to the professional aspect of Anatomy given in treatises on Anatomy. Particular reference will be made to Homology and to Adaptation.

The Examination on Anthropology includes a knowledge of race characters, as exhibited by the skeleton and other parts of the body, and an acquaintance with the structural relation of man to the higher mammals.

The Examination will be largely practical; Candidates will be expected to recognise both macroscopic and microscopic specimens, and to be familiar with the details of Museum and Practical Anthropological work. Text-Books recommended.-Quain's "Elements of Anatomy"; Ward's or Holden's "Human Osteology"; Flower's " Osteology of the Mammalia"; Ellis's "Demonstrations of Anatomy"; Hertwig's Embryology of Man and Mammals' ; Keith's "Human Embryology and Morphology"; Foster and Balfour's Elements of Embryology' Topinard's or Tylor's "Anthropology"; Haddon's The Study of Man"; and Duckworth's "Morphology and Anthropology".

Text-Books recommended.-Starling's "Principles of Human Physiology," Howell's "Text-Book," Stewart's "Manual". For Histology-Quain's Anatomy". For use in the Practical Classes-"Syllabus of Elementary Practical Lessons in Physiological Chemistry." Plimmer's "Practical Physiological Chemistry," Schäfer's "Essentials of Histology," "Practical Physiology," by Pembrey and others, Schäfer's "Experimental Physiology”. VII. GEOLOGY. Instruction is given in the Ordinary Systematic Course, in the Course of Practical Geology, and in the Advanced Laboratory Course.

(a) Physical Geology.-The internal temperature of the Earth; Theories as to the condition of the Earth's Interior; Origin and Distribution of Dry Land; Characters and Mode of Formation of Mountain-chains; Phenomena of Volcanoes and Earthquakes; Rivers and River-valleys; Sub-aerial Denudation and its Agents; the Sea and Marine Denudation; Ice and Ice-action. (b) Petrological Geology.-The Characters of the Chief Rock-forming Minerals; the Origin and Distribution of Rocks; the Macroscopic Characters, Microscopic Structure, and Mode of Origin of the Chief Kinds of Rocks. (c) Structural Geology.-The Structure of Rock-masses; Stratification; Jointing; Cleavage; Foliation; Metamorphism; Faults; Unconformability, etc. (d) Historical Geology.-The General Stratigraphical Succession of Rocks, with more especial reference to the characteristic Lithological and Palæontological Features presented by the Geological Formations of the British Isles.

Remarks.-The Examination will be largely practical, and will be carried out by means of actual specimens (macroscopic and microscopic) of rocks and fossils, geological models, maps, sections and apparatus.

The subjects upon which the candidate will be expected to show his practical knowledge, more especially, are the following:

(a) The characters, macroscopic and microscopic, which distinguish the principal rock-forming minerals.

(b) The macroscopic and microscopic characters of the principal igneous, aqueous, and metamorphic rocks.

(c) The structural characters of well-marked types of all the leading groups of Invertebrate fossils. It is expected that the candidate will be able to recognise the more important generic types of these groups which occur in the fossil condition, will be further able to describe the general features of these in technical language, and will be able to state their geological range. (d) The drawing of a section from a geological map. In order to fulfil these requirements, candidates must supplement the ordinary teaching by systematic laboratory work and by independent reading, and must produce evidence of having engaged personally in field-work. Text-Books recommended.-Lake and Rastall's "Text-book of Geology," J. Geikie's "Structural and Field Geology"; with Chamberlin and Salisbury's "Geology," A. Geikie's Text-book of Geology for reference. For Mineralogy and Petrology, candidates are recommended to use Miers' Mineralogy," Cole's " Mineralogy," Luquer's "Minerals in Rock Sections," Iohannsen's "Determination of Rock-forming Minerals," Hatch's "Text-book of Petrology," Harker's "Petrology for Students"; with Iddings' "Rock Minerals " and "Igneous Rocks," Teall's "British Petrography" for reference. For Paleontology, candidates may use Wood's "Palæontology," with Zittel-Eastman's "Text-book of Paleontology" (vol. i.) and Nicholson and Lydekker's "Manual of Palæontology". For fuller particulars as to reference-books, field-work, etc., see the detailed Syllabus which lies in the Laboratory.

VIII. ZOOLOGY, including COMPARATIVE ANATOMY. Instruction is given in the Ordinary Course of Zoology, in the class of Practical Zoology, and in the course for Advanced Students. Examination. (a) The general Principles of Biology, in their Zoological application. The fundamental facts concerning Reproduction, Sex, Development, Heredity, Variation and Selection.

(b) The general characters and affinities of the chief classes of animals, both living and extinct.

(c) Morphology, Physiology and Embryology of important types of Invertebrate and Vertebrate animals, with especial reference to those types studied practically during the year preceding the Examination.

(d) The Geographical Distribution of Animals, of Mammals in particular. The Adaptation of Animals to particular surroundings. Remarks.-The Examination will be largely practical in character and candidates will be expected to recognise and describe specimens (macroscopic and microscopic) and models of recent or extinct animals. Candidates will also be called upon to prepare, and subsequently to draw and describe actual dissections and microscopic sections. Some evidence of power of independent work will also be required from candidates, and particular problems will be set in each period preceding Examination. Candidates are expected to supplement the ordinary teaching by laboratory work of a systematic character and by independent reading. Every opportunity for carrying on such work, under the advice and with the assistance of the Professor of

Natural History, will be afforded in the Zoological Laboratory and Museum. Candidates are expected to take advantage of the special courses on Parasitology, Fishery Problems, and Statistical Methods, and on Embryology.
