A small retort stand to support the funnels. A spirit lamp, to contain about 3 oz., provided with a wick and with 5 oz. of spirit in a bottle. A washing bottle, holding about 1 pint, to be filled at the time of the Examination. Two pieces of platinum foil, about 2 × 1 inch, and two platinum wires, about 3 inches long. A mouth blowpipe. Two or three pieces of hard glass tubing, and of charcoal, for blowpipe experiments. A bent tube, fitted with a cork, for conveying a gas from one test-tube to another. A pair of tongs to hold the platinum foil. A penknife or spatula. A cloth. A test-tube brush. The room in which the Examination is to be held will be opened half an hour before the time, for the purpose of allowing Candidates to unpack and arrange their re-agents and apparatus. Distilled water and matches will be provided for them. N. B. The attention of Candidates is called to the importance of writing out their analytical notes in a proper manner. The Examiner can judge of their knowledge and work only from these notes, and cannot give any one credit for a complete analysis if any steps or important statements are omitted in the description of it. The account of the examination of each substance should be written out before proceeding to the next, so that the actual experimenting and the recording of experiments may be carried on as far as possible together. Candidates are cautioned against the common practice of wasting their limited time in preliminary, and therefore random, experiments with the blowpipe. They should first discover by a systematic analysis what the bases are and then confirm their conclusions by as many special tests as possible including those made by the blowpipe.

WEST BUCK- Rev. E. G. Sandford, M.A., Christ Church. LAND Oxford, April 14, 1882. EXAMINATION PAPERS. JUNIOR CANDIDATES. *I. 1. Reading aloud. A passage from some English Author. (The Book selected was Robinson Crusoe.) WEDNESDAY, JUNE 7, from 4 to 4.30 P.M. I. 2. Passage for Dictation. [The Examiner is requested, First, to read the following passage to the Candidates in order that they may catch its general purport; Then, to dictate it very slowly, giving them ample time to write it down, and telling them where the full stops occur; Lastly, to read it over a third time, that they may have an opportunity of correcting and punctuating what they have written.] Whenever an expedition was announced which promised booty, such as those to the opulent regions of the east, the ranks of the army were crowded with volunteers, unprincipled and imperious; the veteran despised the reward of a few acres of land, and quitted his plough to buckle on his sword, at the call of a favourite commander. He claimed as his own the spoils of the conquered enemy, and if baulked of his prey, refused to follow in the pursuit. A general, who strove to temper the severities of war with clemency and moderation, was baffled by the mutinous spirit of his troops, and checked in the career of victory. * The numbers prefixed to the several Papers correspond with the numbers prefixed to the Subjects in the REGULATIONS. B MONDAY, JUNE 5, from 6 to 8 P.M. I. 3. Deserted Village, English Grammar [N.B. Every Candidate is required to satisfy the Examiners in this Paper.
