COLOUR TESTS.

1. EXAMINATIONS in colour are open to any person serving or about to serve in the mercantile marine.

2. Any person, including the holders of certificates of competency, or persons about to apply for certificates of competency, if desirous of being examined in colours only, must make application to a Superintendent of a Mercantile Marine Office (Customhouse), and pay a fee of 2s. 6d.

3. He must attend for examination at the Examiner's office, and if he passes he will receive a certificate to that effect.

4. If he fails, it will be open to him to be examined again in colours as often as he pleases, on payment of the fee of 2s. 6d. at each fresh attempt.

5. The application of a candidate who is presenting himself for examination for a master's or mate's certificate must be made on Form Exn. 2. Such examination will commence with the colour test; and if the candidate does not, at the time of making application, hold a certificate of competency of any grade, and should fail to distinguish correctly any one of the colours used in the test, he will not be allowed to proceed with the examination in navigation and seamanship.

6. The fee he has paid for examination for a certificate of competency will include the fee for the colour test, and, with the exception of 2s. 6d., will, in such event, be returned to him.

7. A candidate for examination for a certificate of competency who, at the time of making application, does not possess a certificate, and who fails to pass the colour test, may not be re-examined until after the lapse of three months from the date of his first failure. If he fails a second time, he will be allowed a third trial at the expiration of another three months from the date of his second failure. A fresh fee must be paid at each succeeding examination.

8. It is therefore obviously to the advantage of candidates for certificates of competency to apply in the first instance to be examined in colours only.

9. A candidate who holds a certificate of competency, and who, on presenting himself for examination for a certificate of a higher grade, is unable to pass the colour test, will, notwithstanding, be permitted to proceed with the examination in navigation and seamanship for the certificate of the higher grade.

10. Should he pass this examination, the following statement will be written on the face of the higher certificate which may be granted to him—namely, "This officer has failed to pass the examination in colours."

11. Should he fail to pass the examination in navigation and seamanship, a like statement, relating to his being colour-blind, will be made on his inferior certificate before it is returned to him.
