2. I observe that the balance due the Imperial Government on
the 30th September 1867 was increased from £406.9.3 to
£547.9.9, owing to the undermentioned payments not being
chargeable to Naval Funds:
Paid for Collecting Pine Seeds £118.08.08.

3. IPaid for Collecting Pine Seeds £118.08.08.
Freight on War Office Stores ‹£ 22.11.10.
3. I presume it is not necessary to make any note of this in
future accounts, it being a matter of distribution of
expenditure amongst the Departments particularly chargeable, and
that the accounts have been duly recovered, the sum of £118.8.8
from the Department of Woods and Forests and that of £22.11.10
from the War Office.
