(1) The rivers of Queensland being most of the year ... mere poodles. (2) Amsterdam is built on stilts. (3) There are immense forests round the shores of the Baltic and tobogganing is a great trade. (4) Cologne cathedral built in the Elizabethan style of architecture. Here are some unclassified follies: (1) A cyclone is an instrument for telling the distance of travelling. (Note: The candidate must have been surprised to find a cyclometer in a Geography paper.) (2) Cyclones are the evaporation of volcanoes. (3) The dingo is a bird with a face like a dog. (4) (Trees of Australia.) The cow-tree, octopus, and large palms are very plentiful. (5) The Plateau of Tibet is noted for the Tibet goat.

(Note: Take the island of Rügen, the port of Riga in Russia, a lagoon from the Adriatic, and Rangoon in Burmah, and mix.) English Literature papers seldom came my way.

The really funny thing about that list is that it is absolutely genuine, and the work of one candidate. And I defy any one to make a better list, trying to be wrong. This life of Wordsworth is nearly as good:
