Foliation: The foliation sequence commences at the front cover with 1 and terminates at the inside back cover with 64; these numbers are written in pencil, are circled, and are located in the top right corner of the recto side of each folio.
A previous foliation sequence, which is also circled, has been superseded and therefore crossed out.
- Former External References:

- Arrangement:

- Notes:
- This file, which was numbered 7/2 Vol I, chronologically follows R/15/5/302 (7/5), and R/15/5/304 has the same number (7/3) as R/15/5/300. It seems probable therefore that R/15/5/303 to 307 should be attributed to the Third Series.
