Abstract
CAMBRIDGE.—The last report of the Higher Local Examinations shows that in Group E (Natural Science subjects) there was a falling off of ten candidates and of two first classes this year. The examiners in Geology and Zoology give a generally favourable report. In Chemistry the practical work done was inferior, and common simple salts were not known by sight. Physiological Botany was little known; and the same remarks applied to Histology in the paper on Animal Physiology. In Group D, Political Economy showed much success, especially among some of the better candidates.
