Report on Natural Science

Report on Natural Science.

Colonial Museum of New Zealand, Wellington, Jan. 11, 1879. To the Secretary Wellington College.

Sir,—I beg to return herewith the papers on Natural Science; for the recent examination at Wellington College. I regret that owing to my unavoidable absence I was unable to conduct the examination as promised, but having gone carefully through both the questions set and the answers, it gives me great pleasure to state that the character of the work disclosed by the papers is most satisfactory. The papers are of a somewhat higher standard than is usual for such examinations, but, nevertheless, the replies show that they are not beyond the capabilities of the students, who appear to have received a thorough and practical course of tuition in the various branches of Science.

I remain, Sir,

Yours faithfully,

James Hector.
