Correspondance sent by air to Marseilles on Friday morning to overtake the Indian mail despatch- ed from London on the previous evening was about four times the amount sent by this service in 1927. In addition, the Marseilles- London air service was used to enable passengers' Isttera posted on board homeward bound P. & O. packet steamers to be delivered in this country in, advance of the ordinary mails.

New Services,

Several new services were intro- duced during the year, and Great Britain now has air mail connec tions either by direct aeroplanes or by combined air and land routes with practically all European countries.".

Perhaps the most noteworthy of the new services is that to Brazil and the Argentine, which is an ex- tension of the service that has existed for some time past from Toulouse to Dakkar in West Africs. This service is being main- tained with regularity and it offers a very substantial gain over the ordinary roates to South America. In parcel sorvices there was substantial increase all round in 1998. The total weight sent by air exceeded the 100,000 lbs. mark for the first time since parcels were ac- cepted, and has nearly doubled it. self in two years.
