    qualified, he shall not be again admitted to examination unless he shall have completed another year of medical study, or such portion of another year as may be fixed by the Examiners when he is found unqualified. If a Candidate is found to have passed with sufficient merit in all the subjects with the exception of one, he is remitted in that subject and is exempted from re-exam- ination in the other subjects. But to obtain this exemption he must have gained an average of at least 55 per cent, of the marks given for these subjects. If he is deficient in tivo subjects he is rejected on the whole of the Examination. For this purpose, as we were informed, the subjects of examination are :—(1) Medicine (including Paper, Oral, Objective and Clinical Examination) ; (2) Surgery (including Paper, Oral, Bandaging, &c., Operations, and Clinical Examination) ; (8) Midwifery (Paper and Oral); (4) Medical Jurisprudence (Paper and Oral) ; and (5) Pathology (Paper, Oral, and Practical Examination). The Examinations are conducted by the Professors of the University together with other (extern) Examiners appointed by the University Court. The fee for the Degrees of M.B. and CM. is twenty-two guineas. The Final Examinations that we visited, and at portions of all the different parts of which one or other of us was present, commenced on Wednesday, June 6, 1894, and continued until Thursday, July 19. One hundred and thirty-four Candidates, including four women, were entered for the Examination. The order in which the Examinations were conducted was : (1) The Clinical; (2) Operative Surgery; (3) The Written; (4) The Oral. We were informed that a change in this order is under consideration. THE CLINICAL EXAMINATIONS. All the Clinical Examinations in Surgery and most of those in Medicine were held in the Western Infirmary; some of the latter took place in the Victoria Infirmary. The Examinations in Clinical Medicine occupied fifteen days, and those in Clinical Surgery twelve days. If a Candidate fails in Clinical Medicine or in Clinical Surgery, he is allowed to go on with the Examina- tion, but not if he fails in both.
