There is established, as op- tional, a special category of regis- ters without right to indemnity, applicable to books, periodicals and other prints, commercial papers, and samples without value, subject to payment, in addition to the ordinary postage, of a reduced fee whose amount will be fixed by the Administrations concerned. The service of this new type of registered articles is limited to the exchange with the Administrations which have agreed to execute it. In order to indicate their special character, the articles shall be designated by the initials S. I. (Sin indemnzzacidn-without in- demnity), the same notation being made in the Observationscolumn of the descriptive lists, as well as on tracers sent in order to investigate their disposal. 5.
