Organic Chemistry, and also special branches of Advanced Inorganic Chemistry.

Text-books.-The text-books recommended are: Cohen's Theoretical Organic Chemistry, or Hollemann's Organic Chemistry (1907 edition); Caven and Lander's Systematic Inorganic Chemistry.

NATURAL HISTORY.

Lecturer-James R. Tosh, M.A., D.Sc.

The Ordinary Course will consist of not less than 50 Lectures, given daily throughout the Session. In this course the general principles of Zoology will be dealt with, as illustrated from the morphology, development, life-history, and distribution of the leading types of the animal kingdom.

A Class of Practical Zoology, of about 120 hours, will be conducted daily in the practical class-room, when the structure of the following types, amongst others, will be examined: Amaba, Paramecium, Vorticella, Grantia, Hydra, Obelia, Actinia, Alcyonium, Asterias, Hirudo, Lumbricus (Arenicola), Nereis, Blatta, Nephrops, Mytilus, Margaritana, Helix, Gadus Raja, Rana Columba, Lepus. Skeletons of the leading types

will also be studied.

Facilities will be given in the Practical Course for the study of any special types that may be required in individual cases, and the Practical Course will be supplemented by demonstrations in the University Museum and at the Gatty Marine Laboratory.

I.-Ordinary Classes.

Syllabus of Work.

1. The Lecture Course deals with the Morphology and Physiology of Plant Cells, Tissues, and Organs; general Ecological adaptations and distribution of plants; Ontogeny and Classification, as exemplified by selected types; Principles of Evolution.

Text-books. Strasburger's Text-book of Botany; Scott's Structural Botany of Flowerless and Flowering Plants.

2. Practical Class.-The work includes a Course of training and exercises in Plant Classification-diagnosis of orders, genera, and species. Morphology of the Vegetative and Reproductive Organs of Flowering and Flowerless Plants. Practical Histology-use of the microscope, preparation of microscopic sections, drawing under the microscope, study of the microscopic structure of cells, tissues, and organs of selected types. Practical Plant Physiology-preparation of experiments illustrating phenomena of nutrition, growth, turgor, respiration, transpiration, tropisms, &c.

Text-books.-Bower's Practical Botany for Beginners; Hooker's Student's Flora, or Babington's Manual of British Botany, or Hayward's Flora. Each student is supplied with an abstract of each Lecture, as well as sheets of directions for the physiological experiments.

3. The Demonstrations, in the Laboratory, Museum, or
Garden, deal with important histological and mor-
phological details, and with general principles of
Classification. In conjunction with the work of
the Saturday excursions and of the Practical Classes,
they constitute the complete Course of instruction
in Practical work required for the Degree Exam-
inations.
4. Supplementary Class.-The work of this Class con-
sists of a study, as complete as time permits, of
the morphological and histological structure of one
or more selected types, either Phanerogamic or
Cryptogamic.

II.-Advanced Practical Course.

This is mainly a Course of experimental Plant Physi-
ology, the experimental work being of more elabor-
ate character and wider range than that of the
Ordinary Practical Class. Some time is also devoted
to the Systematic Botany of the Seed Plants.
Text-books.-Darwin and Acton's Physiology of Plants;
Detmer's Practical Plant Physiology; Pfeffer's Plant
Physiology; Engler and Prantl's Die Natürlichen
Pflanzenfamilien.

ANATOMY.

Professor--James Musgrove, M.D., C.M., F.R.C.S. Eng. and Ed.

1. The Dissecting-room is open daily from 10 A.m. to 4 p.m. for senior and junior students.

2. The Anatomical Museum of mounted dissections, models, and specimens is open daily to members of the Class.

The above Course, which is open to men and women students, qualifies for the Medical and Surgical Degrees of St Andrews and other Scottish Universities.

A Course of Lectures on Embryology and Advanced Anatomy will be given daily, at 12 o'clock.

PHYSIOLOGY.

Lecturer-Percy T. Herring, M.D., F.R.C.P. Ed.

Class of Practical Histology.—This Class is specially intended for those commencing the study of Physiology.

Each student prepares, examines, and preserves for himself

most of the tissues and organs of the body. Microscopes and all reagents are provided.

Each student is required to furnish himself with slides, coverglasses, slide-cabinet, dissecting-needles, sketch-book, &c., details of which may be obtained from the Professor.

Text-book.-Schäfer's Essentials of Histology (latest edition).

BURSARIES.

These are derived from the annual proceeds of funds which have been mortified for the benefit of Students, from time to time, since the foundation of the University.

The number of Bursaries attached to the United College is over one hundred, varying in value from about £5 to £50 per

annum.

Bursaries Open to Competition.

FOUNDATION.

Founded in 1458 by Bishop Kennedy, and regulated by Ordinance No. 71 of the Scottish Universities Commission of 1889. The number of Bursaries is fifteen-five of the annual value of £20 each and ten of the annual value of £10 each. The whole of these Bursaries are open by competition to all students entering on their first session of attendance in the United College, and are tenable for four years, provided that if the holders graduate after the three years' course, they shall only retain their Bursaries during the fourth year of tenure if they shall engage in a course of study approved by the Senatus Academicus in subjects included in the curriculum for Degrees in Arts or in Pure Science.

YEAMAN AND GRAY.

A Bursary was founded in 1669 by Dr Alexander Yeaman, Dundee, and two Bursaries were founded in 1808 by Dr John Gray, Paddington. By Ordinance No. 75 of the Scottish Universities Commission of 1889 these three Bursaries were conjoined so as to form two Bursaries, to be called the Yeaman and Gray Bursaries-the holder of each to receive one half of the free annual income of the Yeaman Foundation, together with £10 from the income of the Gray Foundation. These Bursaries

are tenable for four years, provided that if the holders graduate after the three years' course, they shall only retain their Bursaries during the fourth year of tenure if they shall engage in a course of study approved by the Senatus Academicus in subjects included in the curriculum for Degrees in Arts or in Pure Science. The annual value of each Bursary is about £12, 10s.

STUART.

Two Bursaries were founded in 1811, by the Rev. James Stuart, formerly Rector of George Town and All Saints, South Carolina, and Chaplain to the King's Rangers in North America. By Ordinance No. 73 of the Scottish Universities Commission of 1889 these two Bursaries were conjoined into one, the holder of which shall receive annually, during his tenure thereof, the whole of the free income of the said foundation, amounting to about £11, 5s.

The Bursary is open to competition by all students, without preference as to name, entering on their first session of attendance in the United College, and is tenable for four years and no longer, provided that if the holder graduate after the three years' course, he shall only retain his Bursary during the fourth year of tenure if he shall engage in a course of study approved by the Senatus Academicus in subjects included in the curriculum for Degrees in Arts or in Pure Science.

PYPER.

Founded in 1863 by Professor William Pyper of the United College. One Bursary of the annual value of about £10, tenable for four years.

BRUCE.

Three Bursaries of the annual value of £30 each, founded in 1865 by Mrs Tyndall Bruce of Falkland, out of respect to the memory of her uncle, John Bruce, Esq. of Grangehill and Falkland. These Bursaries, of which the patronage is vested in the Senatus Academicus, are to be conferred, after competitive examination, on Students who are about to enter on the course of study usual for the second year in the literary classes of the University, and are tenable for three years. It is provided that no person shall hold any of the said Bursaries along with any other Bursary or any appointment yielding to him an annual income of £30 or upwards. One Bursary falls vacant in each year.
