Abstract
THE syllabus of the Biological subjects in which examinations are held by the Science and Art Department, has undergone considerable modifications in the edition of the Directory which has been recently issued. Animal Physiology, Elementary Botany (including Flowering Plants only), are subjects which at present appear to be best adapted for the purposes of school instruction. They stand, therefore, in no necessarily logical, relation to the other two which are grouped together under the head of General Biology. These involve the use of the compound microscope, and some amount of microscopic manipulation. They are therefore better fitted for rather more advanced, or at any rate, older students than the first stages of the subjects first mentioned.
