NOTE.-No Appointments made after the 20th of the Month preceding publication can be inserted in the body of the NAVY LIST until the following List is published. A list of the Appointments, &c., which have taken place between the 20th and the 23rd ultimo inclusive will be found at page 578. Officers on the Retired List who have commuted their Retired Pay must send annually between 1st January and 31st March a notification to the Secretary of the Admiralty of their being alive, otherwise their names will be removed from the List. The EDITOR of the Navy List will be glad to receive any communications in reference to errors in the List, addressed to him at the ADMIRALTY, WHITEHALL, LONDON. * Communications for the Editor of the Navy List, addressed to the Publisher from abroad, should be post paid, in order to ensure attention, but it is more convenient to address to the Editor direct, as above, upon such subjects. The NAVY LIST is compiled and published by order of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty for the convenience of the Service; but, as errors may occasionally occur, their Lordships must expressly reserve their right to determine the status of any Officer according to the actual circumstances of the case, independently of any entry in the Navy List.
