IV. No candidate shall be admitted to the degree of
Bachelor of Science unless he shall have passed in six of the
above subjects of examination, of which four must be mathe-
matics, physics, chemistry, and natural science.

V. The scope of the examination in all the subjects shall
be the same as that prescribed for candidates for the degree
of Bachelor of Arts.

VI. The examination for the degree of Bachelor of Science
may be passed in two sections; the first consisting of either
three or four subjects. One section may be taken at the end

    orders of cryptogamic plants, and of the principal native
    and introduced orders of flowering plants. 2. The struc-
    ture and life-history of the following types, together with
    those prescribed for the ordinary examination in botany:
