Equality of radiating and absorbing powers.

Selective absorption of transparent bodies (Melloni's experiments*). General principle of steam-engine (furnace, boiler, cylinder, condenser, piston, crank, eccentric, slide valve).

(TRINITY EXAMINATION.)

As before and in addition :

Electricity:

Measurement of electrostatic capacity of a conductor (quadrant
electrometer and standard capacity).

Comparison of moments of magnets (deflection method*).
Lines of force due to magnets and currents (magnetic curves *).
Laws of electro-magnetic induction (Faraday's experiment*, Arago's
disc,* Lenz's law, law of induced electro-motive force).

Machines transforming electro-magnetic into mechanical energy
(Morse telegraph, telephone and microphone, electric bell).
Machines transforming mechanical into electro-magnetic energy
(Clarke's magneto, Gramme dynamo).

Machine altering electro-magnetic energy (Ruhmkorff's coil).
Peltier's thermo-electric effect (thermopile).

As before.

that part of chap. x. relating to skulls.
The structure, life-history, and mode of
nutrition of Fungi, as illustrated by

Scott Part ii., pp. 168-174, 189201, and 290-306.

Watts' Geology for Beginners. Parts specified for both Hilary and Trinity Examinations.

(1) Students are recommended to study in the Zoological Museum, as they are liable to be examined practically in such specimens as do not require the microscope for their recognition.

(2) Students are recommended to apply to the Professor of Botany for material illustrating the Course, as a practical acquaintance with the plants mentioned in the above Syllabus is indispensable.

(3) The Professor of Geology will, on application from the Student, give access to specimens illustrating the Course.

32. Admission of Students from the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge.

Students in Arts, of the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, desiring to become Members of the University of Dublin, will be allowed credit for their previous Academic attendance, according to the following rules (Resolution of the Board and Council, May 15, 1878):—

1. Students in Arts who have kept, by residence, three Terms at Oxford, and have passed the Examination called "Responsions," will be entitled to be placed in the Senior Freshman Class.

The same standing will be allowed to Cambridge Students who have kept, by residence, two Terms, and have passed the "Previous Examination."

2. Students in Arts who have kept, by residence, six Terms at Oxford, and have passed the "First Public Examination," will be entitled to be placed in the Junior Sophister Class.

The same standing will be allowed to Cambridge Students who have kept, by residence, four Terms, and passed the "Previous Examination."

3. Oxford Students who have kept, by residence, nine Terms, and have passed the "First Public Examination," will be entitled to be placed in the Senior Sophister Class.

The same standing will be allowed to Cambridge Students who have kept six Terms, and passed both parts of the "General Examination."

4. Students in Arts who have kept, by residence, twelve Terms at Oxford, and have passed the "First Public Examination," will be admitted to the Examination for the Degree of A. B.

The same privilege will be allowed to Students who have kept nine Terms at Cambridge, and have passed both parts of the "General Examination for the Degree.'

5. Students from Oxford or Cambridge desiring to be placed on the Books of Trinity College, Dublin, must produce, in addition to their Certificate of the Terms kept by residence, a Certificate of good conduct, signed by the Head of their College or Hall, or by the Censor of Non-Collegiate Students.

33. Recognition of Courses kept in other Universities. (Resolutions passed by the Board and Council, March 12, 1910.)

1. That no Students or Graduates of any other University (excluding Oxford and Cambridge) should be allowed to take the B.A., unless they have kept at least two Academic years at T. C.D.

2. That no Student should be allowed to take any of the Degrees in Medicine, Surgery, and Midwifery, unless he has attended at
