Give the steps in the development of the gametophyte of a fern, and show how it is related to the embryo sporophyte. 7. Trace briefly the form of the gametophyte in Ferns, Gymnosperms, and Angiosperms. BOTANY (SECOND PAPER). 3 TO 5 P.M. (Five questions only to be answered.) 1. Describe the sporophyte of a Moss, and show how it differs from that of a Fern. 2. Describe in detail the structure and life-history of any green alga. 3. How do symbionts, parasites, and saprophytes differ from normal green plants? Give an example of each. 4. Describe the life-history and physiological action of any one organism which produces fermentation of the medium in which it lives. 5. What is the structure of a lichen? Give the relationship of its component parts, and state the functions of each part. 6. What are the essential elements in the food material absorbed by roots? Show how the roots act during absorption. 7. Describe the gaseous interchange between a green leaf and the atmosphere during light and during darkness. PRACTICAL BOTANY. 22ND MARCH 1902-11 A.M. TO 1 P.M. 1. Classify specimens A (Primula), B (Genista), C (Syringa), and D (Boronia). 2. What is the natural order of E (Polygonatum)? State its diagnostic characters, and draw its floral diagram. 3. Identify and write brief notes on F (Ruscus), Ğ (Asparagus), and H (Asplenium). 4. Make a micro-preparation of K (Aspidistra); sketch and describe the section. GEOMETRICAL DRAWING-(FIRST PAPER). 25TH MARCH 1902-11 A.M. TO 1 P.M. (Eight questions to be answered.) 1. Draw the projections of a hexagonal pyramid when it is freely suspended from one corner of the base, and the section made by a plane cutting through the centre of gravity at right angles to the line of suspension. (Note. The C. G. of a right pyramid is on its axis at a distance from the base equal to one fourth of the height.) 2. A hexagonal nut for a 1-inch bolt rests upon one of its faces upon a plane inclined at 45° to the horizon, and with one of its edges parallel to the vertical plane. Draw plan and elevation. 3. Draw the plan and elevation of a helix traced upon the surface of a right cone. 4. Show the development of the curve obtained in Question No. 3. 5. Two straight lines AB and CD intersect at a point which is inaccessible, and P is a point outside the lines. Through P draw a straight line which would pass through the intersection of the two given lines. 6. AB and CD are two equal radius-rods of a Watt parallel motion, centred at A and D and connected by a link BC=AB. Trace the path of the centre point of BC. 7. A circle 2 inches diameter and one of 1 inch diameter have their centres 24 inches apart, and distant respectively 2 inches and 1 inches from a straight line AB. Describe a circle • which shall touch externally the two given circles and the straight line. 8. Draw two lines AB and BC at an angle of 63°, and show the locus of points the sum of whose distance from each of the lines AB and BC is 13". 9. To describe a circle to pass through two points P and Q, and touch a given line AB. 10. Construct a cycloid, the diameter of the rolling circle being 2.5". Select any point P on the curve, and draw the normal at P and find the centre of curvature. GEOMETRICAL DRAWING-(SECOND PAPER). 2 TO 4 P.M. MECHANICAL DRAWING. From the hand-sketch here given construct plan, elevation, longitudinal section, and cross-section of a Hook's universal joint, complete. EXAMINATION QUESTIONS FOR HONOURS DEGREE OF M.A. HONOURS IN CLASSICS. LATIN (FIRST PAPER). SEPTEMBER 1901. (Three hours allowed.) I.-FOR LATIN PROSE. Madam," said Ruthven, "I will deal plainly with you. Your reign, from the dismal field of Pinkie Cleuch, when you were a babe in the cradle, till now that you stand a grown dame before us, hath been such a tragedy of losses, disasters, civil dissensions, and foreign wars, that the like is not to be found in our chronicles. The French and English have, with one consent, made Scotland the battlefield on which to fight out their own ancient quarrel. For ourselves, every man's hand hath been against his brother, nor hath a year passed over without rebellion and slaughter, exile of nobles, and oppression of the conmons. We may endure it no longer; and, therefore, as a prince to whom God hath refused the gift of hearkening to wise counsel, and on whose dealings and projects no blessing hath ever descended, we pray you to give way to other rule and governance of the land, that a remnant may yet be saved to this distracted realm."
