A schedule was enclosed in every despatch bag, and indicated the contents of the mail. It consisted of a printed form providing for the number (or other mark) of the despatch, the date and the subject; in the case of secret and confidential despatches the latter entry is not made, but for all others this series is a useful finding aid for the location of despatches on particular subjects. They have therefore been bound.

These records are part of the holdings of the Tasmanian Archives
