Tlie Examinations irere exactly alike at all the centres, and the exercises set', the saiiie. Those in qualitative aiialysis comprised a mixture contaitiing sodillin, barium, zinc, and c;tlciiiin, aiid silicic: carbonic, and phosplioric acids. Tlie candidates also had to re-cognise by practical tests trvo substances giren--n:mely, nitrate of urea arid quinine. In additioii, they had to prepare sodic ferric oxalate. The salt lid to be made floiii ferrous snlpliate and oxalic acid, with of course the usnal hboratory re-agents : 50 grams of' osalic acid was given to cadi Student for this piirpe arid he liad to obtain from it as large a yield as possible of the salt in a well crystalizecl condition ; aticl then to determine its solubility at 20° c.In quantitative analysis the following exercises were set :-].--(a) An alloy of tin nud lead containing 34”TO per cent. of tin arid ism22 per cent. of lead ; (7,) il, s:nmple of bone ash. ?.-The organic: substance for coubustioii was acetanilide, in wliicli tlie candidates had first to test to see whether it con-tained nitrogeii, aid then to determine the carbon aud hydrogen. 3.-Determinatioii of nitrogen in a solution of sodium nitrate by the nitroiiiecer. Judging from the work generally, the carididates a,ppear to haw leariieil their quantitative analysis better than tlirir qimlitati\-e.l?‘ELLOT.I’S ASD ASSOCIhTEY.
