At the moment when the Conventions concluded by the Universal Postal Congress of Lisbon were to be signed, the undersigned plenipotentiaries have agreed as follows:

Peru, Salvador, Servia and Turkey, which form part of the Postal Union, being unrepresented at the Congress, the protocol will be left open for their adhesion to the Conventions which have been concluded at the Congress, or only to one or the other of these Conventions. The same applies to the Republic of Costa Rica, whose representative is not present at the session at which these Acts will be signed.

The British Colonies of Australia and the British Colonies of the Cape and of Natal will be allowed to adhere to these Conventions, or one or the other of them, and the protocol will be left open for this purpose.

The protocol will be left open for countries whose representatives have this day only signed the principal Convention, or only a certain number of the Conventions concluded by the Congress, for the purpose of allowing them to adhere to the other Conventions signed this day, or one or the other of them.

The adhesions contemplated by Articles I, II, and III above, must be notified to the Portuguese Government by the Governments concerned, in diplomatic form. The term accorded to them for this notice will expire on the 1st of February, 1886.
