64.--The times at which mails are closed in the General Post Office are published twice daily in a special Mail Notice except on Sundays and Holidays. This information is also given on the mail Notice Board in front of the G. P. O.: in case of doubt this should be consulted, as sailing notices are often received too late for insertion in the Mail Notice. Inward mails are also advertised in this way whenever practicable.
65. The usual time for closing a mail is one hour and a half before the steamer is advertised to sail. Letters prepaid with 10 cents in addition to postage will, if handed over the counter, be received after the advertised time of closing the mail until the mail has actually left the office.
66.-Registered mails are closed a quarter of an hour before the ordinary mails, except in the case of mails for Europe, America, and Australia when the period is three quarters of an hour. Parcel mails for Europe, America and Australia are closed at 5 p.m. on the working day previous to the day of departure of the steamer: for other places a quarter of an hour before the ordinary mails.
67-Parcel mails for Europe are forwarded via Suez by P. & O. steamers only. Other mails for Europe are sent via Suez and Marseilles, with the exception of letters and postcards, which, if specially superscribed, are sent via Siberia or America.
