It should be noted that since 1929 the operation in various overseas areas has been taken over at different dates by the local associated companies and the total "gures for 1923 taken for purpose of com- parison in establishing the index 100 have therefore been adjusted when necessary by the omission of the receipts accruing in the areas affected.
