Tuesday, at 7.30 p.m. A student who has attended the course will be granted a certificate if he passes a satisfactory examination. The course of instruction is— Anatomy and Physiology : Lectures 1-4, General and introductory view of the structure and functions of the human body; Lectures 5-7, The blood and lymph, vascular system and the circulation; Lecture 8, The blood and the lymph ; Lectures 9, 10, The respiratory system; Lectures 11, 12, The sources of loss and gain to the blood; .Lectures 13, 14, The alimentary organs and their functions; Lectures 15-17, Motion and locomotion, including joints, muscles, various special muscular actions— e.g., voice, walking, &c.; Lectures 13-20, Sensations and the organs of the senses ; Lectures 21, 22, The eye and the sense of sight; Lecture 23, The coalescence of sensations with one another and with other states of consciousness ; Lectures 24-26, The structure and functions of nerve-fibres and of the central organs of the nervous system. The minute anatomy is distributed over the entire course, and is demonstrated by preparations under the microscope. Diagrams, models, dissections, and experiments are freely used to illustrate the lectures. The textbook for the course is " Elementary Lessons in Physiology," by Professor Huxley. The lecturer will be in the room some time before the lecture begins in order to explain the various exhibits, and will remain for a little while after the conclusion of the lecture for the purpose of answering any questions, &c.

Uses of metals in dentistry : one year's course of study. Working metals and celluloid and vulcanite bases : one year's course of study. To obtain the certificate of Expert in Mechanical Dentistry the student must have attended the classes and passed in the subjects above specified, and the first year in chemistry, and also satisfy the examiners as to knowledge of English and bookkeeping. Department of Physics (Instructor, Mr. T. E. Hewett). The course of instruction in physics includes a number of subjects, and is completed in two years. Students who wish to get the certificate of Expert in Physics must attend the whole course of instruction and pass a satisfactory examination in each subject; must also obtain a certificate in chemistry, card-certificate for first year in art course and mathematics, and satisfy the examiners as to their knowledge of English and bookkeeping. A student may, however, attend any course of instruction in any subject under physics, and if he pass a satisfactory examination shall be granted a class-certificate.
