Practical Examination.

Candidates will be tested by practical examination in subjects selected from the following list:

Recognition, description, and measurement of the skulls and more distinctive bones of Man and the Anthropomorpha. Identification of typical varieties of Man from photographs, with description of their characteristic features. Practical acquaintance with the methods of taking measurements on the living subject. Estimation of pigmentation, and the recognition of different kinds of hair. Identification of well-marked portions of the skeletons of the commonest domestic animals, and of the extinct mammalia contemporaneous with Man.

Identification of typical weapons, implements, articles of dress and ornament, artificial deformations of the person, magical and other appliances, and works of art, &c., of living and extinct races, either from the actual objects or from illustrations. Of such objects,

candidates will be expected to give accounts describing the race or races to which they belong, their use, the geographical distribution of allied forms, and, when required, their place in the developmental history of the class of objects to which they belong.

Indication, upon blank outline-maps of the world, of the geographical position of some of the more important races and varieties of mankind, and the distribution of the more distinctive arts, customs, appliances, languages, religions, institutions, &c.

Prepared Work as part of the Diploma Examination.

The provisions contained in Regulation 3 of the Regulations for the Diploma are intended to meet the needs of candidates who have either devoted themselves to some particular branch of anthropological study before entering on their course for the Diploma, or have made it part of their practical training, during this year's work, to collect and arrange the materials which are available, within some definite limits, e. g. by making their own catalogue of some part of the University collections, or other similar exercise. The practical application of anthropological training, in such ways as these, is at the same time a valuable discipline for the student, and a convenient test of the quality of his work.

Fees payable for Instruction.

Students in residence pay Terminal Composition fees as follows:(1) For the Diploma course, £5 per Term for the first three Terms, and £2 10s. per Term for subsequent Terms. (2) For a Certificate course, £2 per Term; or, if two such courses are taken concurrently, £4 per Term.

If a student, after obtaining a Certificate, completes his Diploma course by taking the two remaining subjects, the Terminal Composition fee will be £4; or, if he do so, after obtaining two Certificates, by taking the one remaining subject, it will be £2.

Arrangements can be made for special tuition at an extra charge of £5 per Term.
