“Intending candidates must make application to be examined not later than one week before the date on which examinations are to be held, and they must ascertain from the Superintendent of Mercantile Marine the day on which examinations will commence.”

“Candidates for foreign-going or home-trade certificates who have failed while attending any of the examinations at Auckland may, if they so desire, provided they are eligible, and immediate application is made for that purpose to the Examiner, be allowed again to sit for examination during the week succeeding that on which the failure occurred.”

9. Appendix C is hereby amended as follows:—
   The two following paragraphs are to be added after “Details as to the conduct of the tests.”

“The object of these tests is to ensure that the candidate’s eyesight is sufficiently good to enable him to pick up and identify correctly the lights of distant ships at sea. Experience has shown that for this purpose he must be able to reach certain minimum standards both of form and colour vision.”

“The tests employed are two, a letter test and a lantern test, details of which are given below. The latter test is a test of form vision only, and the lantern test is a test of form and colour vision combined.”

In the paragraph “Spectacles not allowed,” the words “They will, however, have the option of using either eye separately or both eyes together” are to be added at the end.

1. Letter Test.

Paragraph 1: The words “and until he has passed this test he must not be allowed to proceed further with the examination” are to be deleted.

Paragraph 3: The whole paragraph is to be deleted.

Paragraph 4: The whole paragraph is to be deleted, and the following substituted therefor:—

“4. Standard of Vision required.—With the exceptions indicated below (see paragraph 7) every candidate will be required to read correctly nine of the twelve letters in the sixth line, and eight of the fifteen letters in the seventh line of a test sheet placed in a good light at a distance of 16 ft. from the eye.
