Intestinal canal : longitudinal section of the jejunum, presenting its valvula3 conniventes. Kidney, injected : longitudinal section, showing the relative position of the renal vessels and uretur at the hilus ; also, the relative appearance and thickness of the pyramidal and cortical portions. Bladder, and urethra with penis, opened anteriorly, showing openings of the ureters, neck of the bladder, prostatic sinus, veru-montanum and sinus pocu- laris, with the openings of the common ejaculatorj^ ducts ; remainder of urethra, and trabecular structure of corpora cavernosa. Perineum, its ischio-rectal fossse, and their boundaries. (See further. Examination Series, p. 39.) Developmental Anatomy.—Ossification of the bones; fcetal circulation, &c. Histology.—As already stated, a series of specimens are used, in order to test the student's objective knowledge of histology. Having regard to the great importance of textural anatomy, and of the minute structure of organs, in relation to pathology, this portion of the practical examination on anatomy has been considerably extended. Oir one occasion, the following series of microscopic specimens were used ; each candidate being required to name and describe four such specimens : (1) Cellular cartilage. (2) Ossifying cartilage. (3) Bone, transverse section. (4) Bone, longitudinal section. (5) White fibrous tissue. (6) Yellow elastic tissue. (7) Tesselated epithe- lium. (8) Salivary gland. (9) Tongue. (10) Stomach. (11) Small intestine. (12) Liver. (13) Kidnej'. (14) Lung. (15) Muscle striated. (IG) Muscle non-striated. (17) Skin. (18) Hair. (19) Tooth, longitudinal section. (20) Tooth, transverse section. (21) Spinal cord, transverse section. (22) Uric acid. (23) Urate of ammonia. (24) Triple phosphates. (25) Oxalate of lime. (See further, Exami- nation Series of Specimens, p. 4G.) Specimens.—Blood, milk, urine, and other secretions, &c., with chemical reagents. Form of E.vamination in Histology and in Physiology.— The course of this part of the examination is indicated by the questions put to each ot four candidates : Candidate 1 : Four microscopic specimens usually having been recognised, questions arise from each kind of .specimen submitted for inspection. The candidate is afterwards examined upon other preparations as
