XX For the practical Examination each Candidate is required to provide himself with the necessary re-agents and apparatus. The following lists, which contain all that is needful according to the usual course of analysis, are intended as a guide to Candidates in making this provision. But each one is at liberty to furnish himself for the Examination with such materials as he has been accustomed to employ. Three funnels, about 2 inches diameter. A dozen test-tubes, about 6 inches long by § inch diameter. A stand for test-tubes, to hold 24 tubes. A glass stirring rod, about 8 inches long. Another dozen test-tubes, about 6 inches long by inch diameter. 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 their analytical notes in a proper manner. The Examiner can judge of their work only by the papers which he receives. He must not be supposed familiar with the various tabular schemes and modes of abbreviation used in particular laboratories, but expects a fair account in ordinary language of that which is done. The actual experimenting and the recording of experiments should be carried on as far as possible together. All that calls for observation should be described while it is still before the eyes. Further, the written account should represent the whole of the work done. Every experiment worth making is worth recording. Great, care should also be taken to exhibit clearly the evidence and mode of reasoning by which each conclusion is established. Credit will be given for the description of experiments which confirm the conclusions drawn from systematic analysis. Oxford, February 7, 1880. xxii DIRECTIONS TO CANDIDATES. (Printed with the Time Tables.) I. Look carefully at the Time Table, in which the hours are fixed for the subjects of Examination on each day, and always be at your seat in the Examination Room five minutes before the time. II.

As soon as notice is given, (which will be five minutes before the end of the time,) finish your Papers, see that they are numbered rightly and in their proper order, and take them UNFOLDED to the Examiner. CAUTIONS. Candidates are strictly forbidden to communicate in any way with each other while under Examination. Any Candidate detected in taking any unfair advantage, such as getting others to help him in answering his questions, or using any Book or Written Paper for the purpose, will be turned out with disgrace. And any Candidate detected in helping another to take any unfair advantage will be subject to the same penalty. No Candidate is permitted to have in his possession, while he is in the Examination Room, any Book, Memorandum or PocketBook, Notes, or Papers whatsoever, except the Questions set by the Examiners and this Time Table. In case he may have brought any such Book or Papers with him to the Examination Room, he must deliver them up to the Examiner before the Examination commences. He will otherwise render himself liable to the same penalty with those who may be detected in taking unfair advantages. EXAMINERS. Rudiments of Faith and Religion.
