On receipt of this report order will be passed as to the disposal of the hydrometer or thermometer.No instrument should be returned to the Excise Commissioner's office without orders. When a brass hydrometer is thus returned under orders, special care must be taken that the hydrometer and thermometer are separately and carefully packed. The weights should be wrapped in soft paper, if they get loose in the box they are kept to damage the hydrometer.II-Gallon measures
