If any package contains any of the goods specified in this list as "dangerous,"
the nature of the contents must be marked on the package, or written notice thereof
given to the officer in charge of the station. Any person neglecting to do so is
guilty of misdemeanour. The Railway Department is not bound to carry any such
goods on the railways.

Where goods are specified as "special," they will be carried as of the value
stated on the consignment note, upon payment of the additional charge stated in
Part V.—Special Goods.

Where goods are described as "packed," it is intended that they will only be
carried if properly packed in cases, casks, bags, crates, or otherwise, in the manner
in which such goods are usually packed in the trade, and that they will not be
carried loose or in bulk.
