APRIL 9.] THE NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE. 731

The Examiner should be careful to see that the candidate has
no books or papers in his possession, other than those specified in
Rules 73 and 75, while in the examination-room, also that he has
not used the blotting-paper in solving his problems.

MATHEMATICAL TABLES AND DRAWING INSTRUMENTS.

73. Books of mathematical tables, also drawing-boards and T
    squares, will be provided by the Marine Department, but candidates
    will be required to bring the requisite drawing instruments with them.

LEAVING EXAMINATION-ROOM.

74. In the event of a candidate being permitted to leave the
    examination-room the Examiner should substitute other questions for
    those which have not been attempted.

RULES TO BE OBSERVED DURING THE EXAMINATION.

75. (1) Perfect silence must be observed during the examination.
    (2) Candidates must not have with them any books, notes, memor-
    randa, or paper other than that supplied for use at the examination.
    If any candidate has brought any such notes, &c., with him he must
    hand them to the Examiner before the examination commences.
    (3) Candidates must not communicate with each other or use any
    unfair means.
    (4) Candidates should read the questions carefully before attempt-
    ing to work them, and should confine their attention to the problems
    as presented, without dealing with extraneous matter. This instruc-
    tion, which is applicable to all sections of the examination, has special
    reference to the subject-paper for drawing.
    (5) All work, except that specified in the subject-paper for draw-
    ing, should be done in ink. The numbers of the questions attempted
    should be clearly indicated, but the questions themselves should not
    be copied.
    (6) Candidates are permitted to use slide rules for checking their
    calculations, but in each case the full working necessary for arriving
    at the result must be shown in ink, otherwise no significance will be
    attached to the answer.
    (7) The mathematical tables provided may be used by candidates
    in working any of the questions set in the examination, except those
    which state that reference thereto is not permissible.
    (8) The question papers and mathematical papers, which are the
    property of the Marine Department, must not be written upon or
    defaced.
    (9) The candidate should sign his name and write the port and date
    on the cover of each answer-book, also on each separate sheet used in
    working the problems and in answering the questions, including each
    sheet of drawing-paper used. Only one side should be used; and
    additional sheets will be supplied by the Examiner, if required.
    (10) Credit will be given for clear statements, correct spelling
    and punctuation, good composition, and sound reasoning in answering
    the questions and in solving the problems; and bad grammar, faulty
    spelling, errors of punctuation, and indistinct reasoning will be dis-
    credited.
    (11) Candidates may not vacate their seats or leave the examina-
    tion-room without permission. If a candidate leaves the room he
    will not be permitted to go on with any sheet or problem which he
    had in hand before leaving the room.
    (12) A candidate guilty of any breach of these rules will be subjected
    to all the penalties of failure, and may be excluded from further examina-
    tion for such period as the Marine Department may decide.

BREACH OF RULES.

76. The circumstances attending any breach of the Rules or any
    unseemly conduct on the part of the candidate, should be reported
    immediately to the Chief Examiner.
