entry of the number of the mail must be made in the return, but the weight columns are to be left blank, and the words “Official, form no account” written in the column for remarks. Mails despatched by occasional vessels leaving New Zealand ports direct for foreign offices which are not specified on Form P.O. 22 should be entered on the two last lines of the statement. (See Rule 356.)
363. Mail Agents will furnish to the Inspector, immediately on their return, statement P.O. 111, giving details of all mails received and despatched by them.
364. Care must be taken that all the weights in the statements of foreign mails furnished to the Inspector are accurately entered, as mail-service payments are based thereon. Postmasters making up mails for the Marine Post Office must see that the weight of the contents of mails is verified before the mails leave their offices, in order that the Mail Agent, by balancing the total of his weights against the total of those advised on the New Zealand letter-bills, may the more readily discover any error.
365. The following particulars of each mail despatched are to be entered in the Foreign Mail Register :—
(a.) Number of mail.
(b.) Date of despatch.
(c.) Name of vessel by which despatched.
(d.) Number of post-cards.
(e.) Net weight of letters and post-cards.
(f.) Net weight of books, including commercial papers, printed papers, and patterns.
(g.) Net weight of newspapers.
(h.) Number of registered articles.
(i.) Initials of despatching officer.
(k.) Description of closed mails.
(l.) Number of bags from the office of despatch.
366. Insufficiently prepaid articles, except for Australia, must have the amount of the deficiency marked in centimes, in black figures, by the side of the postage-stamps. Wholly unpaid letters must be marked in the right-hand top corner. In the case of Australia, double the deficient postage must be marked in shillings and pence. (See Rule 462.)
367. In the case of insufficiently prepaid correspondence liable to more than a single rate, the number of rates should be indicated in the upper left-hand corner in ordinary figures.
