Head 1 of Paper--In the case of an Offieer serving on the West Coast of Africa, a statement is to be added whether he is

a native of that Coast, (Colonial Regulations, § 430.)

Head 3.---State the description of Allowance for which the Application is recommended, viz., Superannuation, Compensation, Compassionate Allowance, or Gratuity, and its amount. In the ease of Persons claiming an addition to their Pensions in respect of Professional or other special qualifications, this should be stated, and a reference should be given to the authority ander which the claim is made.

Head 5.--If the service has been interrupted by one or more breaks, the word "broken" should be added before or after ilie number of years and months, and the causes, dates and circumstances of the break or breaks should be stated nuder heading 9.

Head 6.—If the person retiring has been in receipt of the same Salary, or in the class from which he retires, for the 36- months immediately before the date of his retirement, the actual annual rate of Salary or Wagos at that date should he inserted, preceded by the word "actual.” In other cases the average annual amount of Salary or Wages for the al months next preceding the date of retirement should be inserted, preceded by the word "average," but if the whole period of service is less than three years, then the average for the whole period of service should be inserted. Head 7.—A separate statement should be inserted of the average Annual Valne, for the 36 mouths immediately precoding retirement, of each Emolument (exclusive of salary or wages) which is claimed to be included in the calculation of the Pension or Gratuity.

Whenever the value of a House or Ilouse Allowance, so ascertained, excceds one-sixth of the salary aul other emoluments which count for Pension purposes, it is to be reduced to one-sixth of that amount, so that it shall no! exceed one-seventh of the whole.

Fees which an Officer is allowed to retain for his own use will be taken into account for Pension purposes, with regular salary, at the annual average of the not receipts of the 36 mouths next preceding the Officer's retireinent. These net receipts are to be ascertained by delicting from the gross amount of Fees such Office Expenses, &, th au Officer y have had to defray from his own resources, in performing the serviess for which he was romnuerated by Fees. No deduction, however, from the Fees should be nunde in respect of Office Expenses provided from Public Funds, for the dne discharge of those duties to which a Fixed Salary is annexed. Papers of "Particulars" when forwarded to the Colonial Dopartiment should be accompanied by formal Declaratious from the retiring Officera, showing the amount received by them for Fees, and the amount dofrayed as above for Office Expenses, &c., in each of the three years immediately preceding the retirement. It will be the duty of the Colonial Governments concerned to satisfy themselves of the accuracy of such statements before forwarding them to the Colonial Office. In the case of Officers receiving Fixed Salaries and Fees, the Fees will not in ordinary circumstances be allowed to count for Pension par- poses to the extent of more than one quarter of the Salaries, and Fees will not in any case be allowed to count for Pension purposes during any period in which the whole time of the Officer receiving them was not given to the Public Service.

Head 8.-In cases of infirmity, if the Applicant is below the ordinary age for retirement, a Medical Certificate is to be furnished showing that he is disqualified by infirmity of mind or body for discharging the duties of his situation, and that such ficuity is likely to be permanent.

In case of ten years' service or more, this Certificate should be signed by two Officers, of whom at least one should,

Head 9.—As to "broken" service, sec Head 5.
