Paper a.

1.	Make a sketch-map and section of some part of Europe or of the British Isles, carefully indicating the Geological Formations concerned.
2.	Show by notes, based on the preceding map and section, how far, and why, the Geological Structure influences the Physical Features of a Country.
3.	In diagrams show, by different degrees of curvature and crumpling, how strata are thrown into undulations and inversions, with the accompaniment of cleavage and foliation. Explain these phenomena, and apply them briefly to the elucidation of mountain-structure.
4.	Draw up a classification of rock-forming Minerals, as (1) ores and accessory ingredients; (2) magnesian and ferruginous silicates; (3) felspathic constituents; (4) silica, in its varieties.page 2
5.	How do Plants and Animals promote the disintegration of Rocks?

7.	Tabulate the chief genera of Brachiopods, according to their Families, with their range in time and space.
8.	What evidences exist of oscillations in the Level of Sea and Land? What causes have been suggested for the Upheaval and Depression of Land?
