2. Organic Chemistry, including either the Chemistry of Animal and Vegetable Life, or Chemical Technology in its relations to Organic Chemistry.

Zoology, including Comparative Anatomy and Paleontology. The same subjects as for the Bachelor of Science Examination. In addition to a competent acquaintance with the structure, development, and classification of animals, special knowledge of a group (e.g., the Mollusca), to be selected by the Candidate and approved by the Examiner, is required. The Candidate must submit an original thesis upon some Zoological subject selected by himself.

Physiology.

In addition to a searching examination in general Physiology, the Candidate will require to know the comparative Physiology of the Nervous, Circulatory, and Respiratory Systems. He will be examined in Histology, Physiological Chemistry, and Physiological Physics. He will also have to present an original thesis on

some subject in Physiology, to be selected by himself, and this thesis must be approved by the Examiner.

Department of Engineering.

The Candidate must have been a B.Sc. in Engineering, of this University, for not less than twelve months, and must be at least twenty-one years of age, and must have been engaged in actual practice for at least two years.

He must satisfy the examiners that he possesses an intimate knowledge of

1°, The theory and the practice of some one branch of Civil or Mechanical Engineering, such as Bridge Construction, Water Supply, Sewerage, Railways, Shipbuilding, SteamEngine Construction, the Manufacture of Iron, Electric Lighting, or Telegraphy.

2°, Some branch of applied science directly related to Engineering, as Applied Mathematics, Geology, Technological Chemistry, one branch of Natural Philosophy, &c. The Candidate will specify the branch under each head in which he wishes to be tested.

As regards 1°, he will be required to submit as his own work a complete set of drawings, specifications, and estimates for some prescribed piece of Civil or Mechanical Engineering work. The work prescribed will be chosen with reference to the branch of Engineering in which the candidate has been specially engaged. One month will be allowed for the preparation of the necessary drawings, &c. These, with all the detailed calculations on which they have been based, must be sent in to the Examiners. If they are approved, the Candidate will be subjected to an examination for the purpose of verifying their authenticity, and of ascertaining the sufficiency of the Candidate's professional ability. As regards 2°, the Examiners may accept in lieu of an examination a Thesis embodying the results of the Candidate's independent original researches on the branch of applied science selected by him, should they consider it sufficient.

GRADUATION IN MEDICINE.

DEAN OF FACULTY.

The Dean of the Faculty of Medicine holds relative to that Faculty the same position which the Dean of the Faculty of Arts holds to the Faculty of Arts. His duties are, to preside at the

Meetings of the Faculty, to intimate its decisions to the Senatus Academicus, and to present to the Senatus those Candidates who are found qualified for graduation.

EXAMINERS.

The Examiners for Medical Degrees are the Professors in the Faculty of Medicine, and four Examiners appointed annually by the University Court. The additional Examiners are eligible for re-election, and their salary is fixed by the University Court.

REGISTRATION OF MEDICAL STUDENTS.

The regulations of the General Council of Medical Education and Registration of the United Kingdom require every medical student to enter his name on the Register of Medical Students kept by the Council. The Branch Register for Scotland is kept by Mr James Robertson, 1 George Square, Edinburgh, and to him medical students wishing to be registered are directed to apply.

This registration in the books of the General Medical Council is not to be confounded with Matriculation or other Registration in the books of the University.

In order to register in the books of the General Medical Council, it is incumbent on all students to pass in all the compulsory subjects of the Preliminary Examination (vide Division I., infra), and in one of the optional subjects (vide Division II., infra), at one or other of the Examining Boards recognised by the General Medical Council.

The beginning of medical study dates from the day of Registration in the books of the General Medical Council; and according to the Medical Acts, no student can be admitted to the Final Examination for a medical qualification who has not completed his four years of medical study subsequent to Registration. Registration forms may be obtained from the Dean of the Medical Faculty, or from the Branch Registrar, whose address is given above.

PRELIMINARY EXAMINATIONS.

The Preliminary Examinations for Medical and Surgical Degrees take place in October and March of each session. The Examinations for Session 1891-92 will be held on Monday and Tuesday, 12th and 13th October 1891, and on Wednesday and Thursday, 9th and 10th March 1892, in accordance with the following time-table :

Candidates are required to give in their names to the Secretary of the University not later than the 15th of September and the 15th of February of each year, stating the subjects on which they wish to be examined. Non-matriculated candidates must also at the same time pay an examination fee of Ten Shillings. No fee is required from matriculated students attending the University.

Candidates who cannot personally enter their names are required to send a Post-office or Postal Order for the amount to the Secretary of the University. A fee of Ten Shillings, paid in March, covers the October examinations of the same year. Students are recommended to pass so much of the Preliminary Examination as they can in March, and to complete it in October. Should a student fail to pass in October in any one of the compulsory subjects, or in the optional subject which he has selected, he cannot be registered as a Medical student, and may in this way lose an annus medicus.

The Preliminary branches of Extra-professional education, in the case of candidates for the degree of Bachelor of Medicine and Master in Surgery, are English, Latin, Arithmetic, the Elements of Mathematics, the Elements of Mechanics, and one of the optional subjects. (See under Division II., infra.) The proficiency of students in these branches is ascertained by examination prior to the commencement of their medical study.

No candidate is admitted to a professional examination for the degree of M.B., C.M., who has not passed a satisfactory examination in English, Latin, Arithmetic, the Elements of Mathematics, the Elements of Mechanics, and in addition, at least two of the following optional subjects-viz., Greek, French, German, Higher Mathematics, Natural Philosophy, Natural History, Logic, and
