of prosecuting their studies either at the University
of Edinburgh, or at the University College, London,
with a view to graduation in one of the Faculties of
the University of London.

If any candidates offer themselves, the June ex-
amination for New Zealand will be held some time
in the month of June, 1882, or as soon after as the
examination papers arrive in the colony, and at such
place or places as may be hereafter fixed, having
regard to the candidates' places of abode.

Candidates will not be approved by the Examiners
unless they have shown a competent knowledge in
each of the following subjects, according to the details
specified under the several heads:-

2. Any two of the following languages: (a) Greek,
   (b) French, and (c) German.

The scholarship will be considered as commencing

ments will depend on attendance at three courses of
