cover the name and address of the sender, a printed notice will be 
sent to him by post, informing him that the parcel (if not claimed 
in the meantime by the addressee) will be given up to him or to 
any person whom he may direct to call for it, or will be returned 
to him by post. Ifthe parcel should be called for by the sender 
or his agent, or if it should be returned to him by post, it will be 
liable to a charge of one penny for each day or part of a day after 
the expiration of two clear days following that on which the notice 
has been sent. If the sender should elect to have the parcel sent 
back to him by post, he must return the printed notice, with stamps 
sufficient to cover new postage at the full rate and also to cover 
any other charges to which the parcel may be liable, including the 
charge of one penny a day described above. ‘The parcel will then 
be forwarded to him prepaid by stamps affixed thereon. If no 
reply be received within six days after the date of the notice, or if 
the postmaster should have reason to believe that application is 
made for the parcel by a person who is neither the sender nor the 
addressee, nor duly authorized by either, or if the sender fail to 
pay the charges due on the parcel, the parcel will be sent to the 
Returned Letter Office. Ifa parcel which cannot be delivered 
does not bear on the cover the name and address of the sender, it 
will be sent to the Returned Letter Office where it will be opened 
and examined. If upon such examination the name and address 
of the sender are ascertained, a printed notice such as is described 
above will be sent to him, and the parcel will be treated in the 
same manner as a parcel upon the cover of which the name and 
address of the sender appears. If the name and address of the 
sender cannot be ascertained from the examination of the parcel, 
the name of the addressee of such parcel, and the post office at 
which it was posted will be entered on a list, which will be 
exhibited in a conspicuous position at the returned letter office of 
the district for inspection by the public. Personal applications for 
parcels entered on such lists will be entertained for three months 
from the date of entry, after which the parcels will be finally 
disposed of.
