* Acting appointments are not to be entered here, but may be mentioned on the next page.
* If the officer holds more than one office, full particulars of each must be given.
* If private practice is allowed, the estimated value should be stated.
The value of a Colonial appointment depends upon so many circumstances besides the salary that the Secretary of State often cannot judge what would be acceptable to an officer; applicants for promotion should, therefore, in their own interests, state as precisely as possible what they desire, either specifying certain appointments, or at least mentioning the Colonies to which they would or would not be willing to go, and the amount of salary which they think that they may reasonably expect.
