TABLE Y.—London Technical and Art Examinations, 1896.

The Science and Art Department has been good enough to give the colony permission to retain free of charge the casts used at its examinations. Upon the suggestion of the Director of the Wellington Technical School, who pointed out the advantage to be derived by colonial students in industrial and decorative art from a study of good examples of work in these subjects, an application was made to the Science and Art Department for a loan collection of prize works in connection with the national competition of 1896. This request the department w r as unable to comply with, but it has undertaken to lend for six months a collection of art students' works illustrative of the various stages of art instruction under the department. This collection, which will be exhibited at each of the principal centres, consists of works in the following subjects : Linear drawing by aid of instruments, 4 examples ; freehand outline drawing from the " round," 1; shading from the " round," or solid forms, 2 ; drawing the human figure or animal forms from the "round," or from nature, 7; anatomical studies of the human figure or of animal forms, 2; drawing flowers, foliage, landscape details, and objects of natural history, from nature, 1; painting ornament from the cast, &c, 1 ; painting direct from nature, 2 ; painting (from nature) groups of still-life, flowers, &c, as compositions of colour, 8; painting the human figure, or animals, in monochrome from casts, 1; painting
