LIST AND INDEX SOCIETY

SPECIAL SERIES 51

August 2013

The List and Index Society, which was established in 1965, has published over 300 volumes of otherwise unpublished lists and indexes from The National Archives (Public Record Office), Kew, and other archives in the United Kingdom and abroad These lists are made available to readers in the condition in which they are available to users of the archive at the date of publication. Membership of the Society is open to all who wish to further the aims of the Society or purchase its volumes. Libraries and other institutions can also join. Members of the Society are entitled to purchase back volumes. Details of the current subscription and the availability of volumes are obtainable from: The Secretary The List and Index Society (LIS/1) The National Archives Kew Surrey TW9 4DU e-mail: ListandIndexSociety@nationalarchives.gov.uk www.listandindexsociety.org.uk

This is the amended index, which rectifies the error that crept into the computer-generated index of this volume. All entries were indexed, but items 160-518 in all three indices were indexed at one number less than their number in the calendar. For example: entries in the index for item 199 referred to item 200. This amended index can be downloaded as a PDF from the List and Society website at www.listandindexsociety.org.uk/downloads
