PRACTICAL CHEMISTRY.

SCHEMA A.

[Special stress will be laid upon the written record of your work, and your attention is directed to the following points :

(a) Give a concise account of all the steps of the processes you employ, and of all the tests you use in searching for the different substances.

(b) If you find a metal capable of forming two series of compounds, ascertain, if possible, to which of these series the metal present in the substance you are examining belongs.

(c) In testing a solid, dry way tests, in addition to wet way tests, must be employed.

(d) In testing a solution, dry way tests should be employed in all cases where it is advisable to do so-in addition to liquid tests.

(e) Use confirmatory tests where it is possible to do so.

(f) At the end of your paper, give a statement of the constituents found in each solid or solution given you for examination.]

1. Detect acid and base or metal and non-metal in the solid marked 1.

2. Detect acid and base or metal and non-metal in the solid marked 2.

3. Detect acid and base or metal and non-metal in the solution marked 3.

4, Ascertain the chemical nature of the urinary sediment marked 4.

THIRD EXAMINATION IN MEDICINE.

ANATOMY.

SECTION A.

PROFESSOR BIRMINGHAM.

1. Describe the blood-vessels of the eyeball, giving their source and distribution in detail.

2. Name and give the exact position of the several structures seen at the base of the brain, after removing the membranes, between the pons behind, the olfactory roots in front, and the temporal lobes at the sides.

SECTION B.

PROFESSOR PYE.

3. What lines on the surface of the body would correspond to the position, internally, of (a) the great fissure of the lung; (b) the secondary fissure of right lung?

4. Describe the articulation of the incus with the malleus and stapes, respectively. Give the anatomy (including innervation) of the tensor tympani and stapedius muscles.

SECTION C.

PROFESSOR SYMINGTON.

5. Give the origin, course, and distribution of the spinal accessory nerve.

6. Describe the anatomy of the cœcum and vermiform appendix.

PHYSIOLOGY.

SECTION A.

PROFESSOR CHARLES.

1. (a) Describe the nervous mechanism of vomiting. (b) Mention the conditions of the vascular system in asphyxia.

2. (a) Describe the development and the descent of the testis. Give diagrams.

(b) Contrast briefly, at different periods, the corpus luteum of menstruation with that of pregnancy.

SECTION B.

PROFESSOR COFFEY.

3. Describe in detail the distribution of the 'motor' areas in the cortex of the brain. In what order do the fibres from these areas pass through the internal capsule? What are the principal features of histological structure by which the 'motor cortex' differs from that of the occipital lobe?

4. (a) Give an account of the phenomena described as 'the reciprocal action of antagonistic muscles,' e.g. the flexors and extensors of a joint.

(b) Give a short account of the influences exerted by variations of pressure in the renal arteries upon the flow of urine.

SECTION C.

PROFESSOR THOMPSON.

5. How would you arrange an experiment to determine and record the blood pressure in the carotid artery of an animal? Give a representation of the curve you would expect to obtain, and explain fully the causes of the undulations found upon it.

6. Define the term field of vision.' What are the angular dimensions of the normal field of vision in the horizontal and vertical diameters for one and both eyes, respectively? How are these determined?

PRACTICAL PHYSIOLOGY AND HISTOLOGY.

SCHEMA A.

[N.B.-Write your examination number and the letter indicating the section, on each of the glass slips on which you mount the sections.

Candidates are reminded that they must leave a written record of all the processes (chemical, physical, or mechanical), employed in arriving at their ultimate results, and preserve, as far as possible, all specimens and records obtained.

You will be held responsible for any damage, arising from careless handling, which may happen to the microscope entrusted to you.

One hour will be allowed for this examination.]

2. You are supplied with two cut sections [(A) and (B)] in water

Stain and mount the first (A), which has been infiltrated with celloidin, and state the method you have followed.

Stain and mount the second (B).

Identify each.
