the standard of examination is, in the opinion of the Board, equivalent
to that prescribed by these regulations.

11. Every candidate shall forward with the notice referred to in
    Regulation 2—

(a.) A plan and particulars of the measurement of a base-line,
not less than 80 chains in length, connected by a series of
at least three triangles with the triangulation of the district.
(b.) A plan of a topographical survey of not less than three square
miles of hilly country.
(c.) A plan of at least 40 acres of rural land showing stream and
road traverses.
(d.) A plan of an area having buildings thereon, in illustration of
a town survey under the Land Transfer Act.
(e.) The original field-books, traverse tabulations, and all calcula-
tions connected with the above surveys.

The plans must be plotted and drawn by the candidate on drawing-
paper 20 in. by 20 in., from surveys made in accordance with the
regulations for conducting the survey of land in New Zealand, and
shall have a certificate attached that both field-work and plans are
executed by himself. Sufficient notice must be given to the Board
by the candidate to enable an inspection of the field-work to be made
if considered necessary.

12. The maximum marks allotted to this part of the examination,
    including a viva voce examination before the Board, are 150, of which
    60 per cent. constitutes a pass. Any marks allotted in excess of 100
    may be added to the marks obtained in Part II of the examination.

    the following subjects, viz. :—

(1.) Mathematics.

Plane and spherical trigonometry, geometry, algebra, as far as
these subjects are applicable to surveying.

(2.) Computations.

Triangulation, including quadrilateral, polygonal, and raytrace
computations; reduction of traverses; computations connected with

(3.) Principles and Practice of Surveying.

Details of field practice, including the keeping of field-notes;
topographical, trigonometrical, and underground surveying; cutting
off given areas; redetermination of boundaries; laying out roads;
setting out curves; plotting from field-notes; stadia surveying;
barometric and other measurements of heights; surveys under the
Land Transfer Act, 1908.

Candidates may be required to make surveys under the supervision
of the Board.
