Table I.

The teachers of the subjects enumerated above were as follow : The Director —mining geology, mining, surveying, applied mechanics ; Mr. Waters —metallurgy, assaying, blowpipe analysis ; Dr. Marshall —general geology, mineralogy, petrography ; Mr. G. Armstrong—mechanical drawing. Eighteen students in their first or second year, according to their standing, attended the University classes in mathematics, theoretical mechanics, theoretical physics, practical physics, theoretical and practical chemistry ; and three, qualifying for the requirements of the B.Sc. degree and for honours in geology, attended the class in palaeontology. The results of the examinations in these subjects were as follow :—

Table II.

The teachers in the different subjects were as follow : Professor Gibbons, mathematics ; Professor Benham, palaeontology ; Professor Shand, theoretical physics, practical physics, theoretical mechanics ; Professor Black —theoretical chemistry, practical chemistry, quantitative chemical analysis. Students in the different divisions, according to their standing, had to attend the drawing classes at the School of Art. Mr. Hutton, the director, reported that the results were satisfactory in every case, as shown in the following tabulated statements : —
