No. 45. —"Revision of Parcel Post Rates to India and the East, Ceylon to act as intermediary." No report. No. 46.—" Proposed introduction of System of Insurance on Postal Parcels." We recommend that the system of insurance on parcels be agreed to inland, intercolonially, and with the United Kingdom, and that the following be the rates charged : —

But we advise that' the credit to be allowed by the despatching office be the same in both directions, that is, Great Britain to credit the Colonies on the "outward" parcels with an equal amount to that credited by the Colonies on the "homeward" parcels, and the same principb should apply intercolonially. Queensland and Tasmania consent to this, so far as absolute It ?? is concerned, but not to insurance against damage. No. 47.—" Articles having a saleable value received by Packet Post to be transferred to Inland Parcel Post." No report on this matter. It applies to Queensland only.
