computation of revenue in order that the real value of the mail-service may be known. In computing the revenue, correspondence forwarded and received by the service at and from any office on the route, except the distributing office (i.e., the office from which the service starts), is alone to be taken into account. In a service such as that providing for the carriage of mails between a post-office and railway-station or wharves, &c., no revenue is to be shown.
259. Where two separate services run between the same place, the revenue from each is, as far as practicable, to be computed on the correspondence actually dealt with. When services run into two districts the whole of the revenue from any office is to be credited to the district in which the office is situated. As, for example, in the service Gisborne to Napier via Wairoa and Ruakituri, the whole of the revenue at Wairoa is to be credited to the service belonging to the district (Napier) in which the office is situated, namely, the Napier to Wairoa service; and, in the same manner, the revenue at Ruakituri to the Gisborne–Ruakituri service.

Other changes in services under all Parts (as, for instance, the establishment or abolition of a service, the inclusion of an additional calling-place consequent on the establishment of a post-office, &c.), are to be reported on Form P.O. 95, except on the occasion of the general reletting of services. (See under “Reletting of Services.”)
261. The information given by Chief Postmasters on Form P.O. 185 is for the Official Circular only, and should be a transcript of what has already been notified to the Secretary by means of Form P.O. 95. Form P.O. 185 is simply to assure that the latest information that should be included in the Circular of any date is so included.
RELETTING OF SERVICES.
262. About seven months before the expiry of a general mail-contract period instructions are given Chief Postmasters to furnish on Form P.O. 98 a schedule of existing and proposed contract services (Parts I. and IV.) in their districts for the new period, and to report or make suggestions on matters which, in their opinion, should be considered before calling for tenders. They will also bring up proposals which have been directed to be considered. In the schedule all services pro-
