NOTES. 



Index for the " Journal." 



This number of the Jouriud is the sixth of the revived publica- 

 tion, the first number of which was published last April. In the 

 ordinary course it is proposed, as in the past, to issue an index for 

 every six numbers of the Journal, such six monthly numbers to 

 comprise one volume. In the present instance, however, we propose 

 to close the first volume at the end of the year, so as to allow future 

 volumes to cover the calendar year, from January to June, and from 

 July to December. Consequently the first volume and index of the 

 revived Journal will comprise nine numbers, from Ajuil to December, 

 1920. Each subscriber will receive a copy of the index, and occasion 

 is again taken to impress on subscribers the necessity of carefully 

 keeping each number of the Journal, together with the index which 

 will be issued from time to time, for the purpose of reference. 



Railway Transport— Hints to Consignors. 



The Eailway Department urges the necessity of exercising ever}^ 

 care in the baling, bundling, tying, marking, and numbering of bales 

 and bundles of wool, hair, skins, and hides, and states that a little 

 extra labour and supervision would result in better handling of goods 

 and be well rewarded. 



Bales of wool should in every case be marked with consignee's 

 initials or marks, the destination station's code mark, and the bale 

 number. In the case of skins and hides, where this is not practicable, 

 metal or wooden labels should be affixed. Bales of hides should be 

 secured with strong rope and not pieces of wire or string. 



Compliance with the following regulations will prevent much 

 unnecessary delay in the delivery and transport of goods: — 



Consignment Xotes. 



Every wagon load of goods tendered for transport must be 

 accompanied by a separate consignment note of its contents. When 

 a consignment is not Drought to a station in one load, or at one time, 

 the consignment note accompanying each wagon load must be marked 

 " More to follow, and part lot of " (here specifying- the total con- 

 signment), with the exception of that accompanying the last load, 

 which should be marked " Balance." Each consignment note must 

 be complete in itself, and bear or be supported by all necessary 

 certificates, such as " South African Produce." 



Delivery to other than the Actual Consignee. 



Goods will not be delivered to other than tlie actual consignee, 

 unless the applicant produces the advice note issued by the Adminis- 

 tration, with the consignee's endorsement thereon authorizing
