1\o•rE.-The rates of postage on foreign par cels shown in cols. 9 to 12 are revised to
date of goin~ to press. As the British Post Office, howeYer, frequently changes its rates of
postal!e it follows that the postage on parcels from Jamaica to E uropean and other
countries, sent throueh London, are also subject to change during the next twelve months.
Reference shnuld therefore be made to the latest edition or supplement of the London
P ost Office Guide in computing postuge on parcels addrcs~cd to such places. The rate
is nrri\'ed at by adding Od., Od., ls. 6d., and 2s. 3d. to the four steps of the British
quadruple scale of po~tage.
