Keturns of General Medical Stores will be rendered to the Director-General, half-yearly at home and annually abroad, on Army Forms I 1211 and 1215, and will be verified by Boards of Survey of medical officers, who will compare these returns with the corresponding entries in the store ledgers, and with the vouchers of receipts and issues, and see that in the list of stores remaining, surplus articles as well as deficiencies are correctly shown. 208. When issues are made from General Medical Stores at stations abroad to ships of the Royal Navy, receipts in duplicate will be obtained from the naval medical officer receiving the supply ; these will be forwarded with each annual return to the Director-General, together with an abstract in duplicate showing th e articles issued, and the vessels to which they have been supplied.
