46 and by remainder sweep from 12 and so find the shoulder scam of forepart.

Suppress the waist 2 inches between back and side body, 1½ inches between side body and forepart. Let the forepart overlap the side body 1 inch for the spring over the hips.

A very similar garment to the Patrol jacket, is the Military Frock. This must not be confused with the Military Frock-coat, it being quite a distinct garment.

The Frock worn by Staff Officers is cut after the style of the lounge, but fastens down the front with buttons and holes instead of hooks and eyes. This, also, is free from trimming, in the form of braid, but has a plentiful supply of pockets. We will, therefore give the regulation details.

This is made of blue Angola tartan, or serge, according to climate, cut full in chest, and broad in back, slits at sides with live regimental buttons down the front, two patch pockets on outside breast, 6½ inches wide and 8 inches deep, from the top of the flap. The top edge of the pocket is to be in line with the skirt button. The pocket is finished with three pointed flaps, small regimental button and hole, loose pleat on rear side of pocket, two small outside patch pockets below, with three pointed flaps, two inside breast pockets with vertical mouths and fasten with holes and buttons. Two inside skirt pockets with holes and buttons, lined with black alpaca. Shoulder straps of the some material of the frock, fastened with a small regimental button. Stand and full

collar, fastening with one hook and eye, and the collar sewn on to each side, in front and meeting at the fastening are gorget patches, pointed at the outer end, the gorget patch to be of scarlet cloth, 4½inches long and showing $5/16$ inch blue light above and below the patch. A loop of gold oak leaf embroidery along the centre and a button 1 inch from the point sleeves with pointed cuffs 6 inches high, with 2¼ inch slit. Two small buttons and button-holes.

This same style of Frock is worn by General,Lieutenant-General, Major-General, and Brigadier-General.

This is practically the same as for the Field-Marshal, with the exception that it has a stand up collar from 1¼to 1¾ inches high, in lieu of stand and fall collar.

On the gorget patch at loop of crimson silk cord three-twentieths of an inch in diameter is placed along the centre, with a small button 1 inch from the end, instead of the gold oak leaf embroidery; in all other details the same as Field-Marshal.
