 I modified the stylesheet as follows.. Its working.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="html" />
<xsl:template match="/xml">
<html>
<body>
<h2>Test example of List output</h2>
<hr/>
<!--########## Begin Main Document ##########-->
<xsl:apply-templates select="List" />
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
<!--######## Template for Department Main table data
######-->
<xsl:template match="List">
<table border="1" width="100%">
<xsl:apply-templates select="Entry/Department"/>
</table>
</xsl:template>
<!--### Displays first page departments only ###-->
<xsl:template match="Entry/Department">
<xsl:if test="not(. = preceding::Department)">
<tr>
<td>
<span style="color:#000000">
<a href=""><xsl:value-of select="." /></a>
</span>
</td>
</tr>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
