Surveying and Applied Geology (a). (Two papers —three hours each) Paper (a) : Surveying The theory, structure, and adjustments of the principal surveying and levelling instruments, and the principles of their employment under various conditions ; errors of observations and their elimination. Chain surveys ; compass, dial, and theodolite surveys, including the adjustment of the closing errors ; plane-tabling, tacheometry. Paper (b) ; Applied Geology A general survey of the chief igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rock types, and the more important rock-forming minerals of which they are composed.
