I found a book of examination questions on various topics from the late Victorian period, which in and of itself is fascinating, but I can't help wonder why, on the Natural History test on page 65, I'm meant to give the Class and Order of a VAMPIRE?

Maybe.

I can't think of anything else anyway. And now I've moved along to the weather.

It's in question 8 of the zoology section of the Natural History exam for midsummer 1883, the first species listed.

Aren't those questions wild? Yes, you've got two hours for most of the exams, but wow...

oh, THERE it is!

Um, maaybe they see the vampire as sub-species of human but for some reason don't want to say human?
