2. COMMERCIAL GEOGRAPHY.

No text-book is prescribed. Candidates will be expected to know: (a) The general principles of geography as affecting industry and commerce. This includes some knowledge of the chief mineral, vegetable, and animal products which are articles of commerce, and a closer knowledge of the influence of climate, soil, and minerals upon industry, and of situation and means of communication upon commerce.

(b) The more important facts of the commercial geography of the world. The amount of knowledge expected is about that contained in H. R. Mill's Elementary commercial geography (Pitt Pr. ser. 1s. 6d.)

(c) The commercial geography of Australia.

This is not adequately

treated in the text-books. It should be studied with the same fulness as that of the British Islands, as given in Mill. Figures will be found in Coghlan's Statistics of the six States of Australia and New Zealand. (Sydney, Is.)

5. The Studentship shall be forfeited if the Student shall, in the opinion of the Council, be guilty of misconduct, or if he shall fail to observe the requirements of Clause 4, unless such failure shall, in the opinion of the Council, have been caused by ill-health or other unavoidable cause.
