The following Extracts from the Reports of the Examiners may prove useful to future Candidates, in the direction of their Studies.

Free-Hand Drawing.-Rev. W. Kingsley, B.D.

The number of Competitors who presented themselves for Examination in this subject is thirty-two, of whom all but three have obtained the minimum number of marks, and of these one took up Topographical Drawing and failed entirely, being unable to copy a plan, or to make a scale, or draw an elevation of a section across a plan. In general the average is better than on any previous Examination, and most of the marks have been obtained for the first part of the Paper, which shows that more attention has been given to the most elementary exercises. In particular, the symmetry exercise has been performed very much better than hitherto; and the copies also are far more careful than those made on previous occasions; the drawings from models are also in general better. So that, though none of the Candidates are proficients, the general result of the Examination is such as to give good hopes for the future progress of by far the greater number of them.

Geometrical Drawing.-Major Scott, R.E.

As at the last Examination, few of the Candidates have attained to any degree of proficiency in the solution of Geometrical problems requiring thought; but the proportion who use their mathematical instruments accurately, and draw neatly, has greatly increased since the earlier Examinations held by the Council.
