In view of the creation of a Dominions Office (see page xii), the title of the publication was in 1926 altered to "The Dominions Office and Colonial Office List."

In 1927 Part II. was rearranged so as to collect together the accounts of the territories with which each Office is concerned.

The present Edition has been carefully revised throughout, and the Editors desire to express their thanks for the ready co-operation and assistance which the Dominion and Colonial Governments and their colleagues in the two Offices have accorded to them. They will be glad to receive information of any errors or omissions which may be discovered, and to have notified to them any alterations or additions to be made in the biographical portion of the work. All communications should be addressed to "The Editors, Dominions Office and Colonial Office List, Colonial Office, Downing Street, London, S.W.1."

The Editors are greatly obliged to the different Dominion and Colonial Governments and to the British North Borneo Company for the assistance afforded to them in regard to maps. It must, however, be distinctly understood that the maps in this publication are supplied for the purpose of illustrating the Handbook, and are (like the book itself) not official.

Special efforts have continued to be made to increase in number and bring up to date the biographies in the Appendix, and the Editors wish to express their acknowledgments to the Governments and Officers who have supplied them with information on the point. They are specially indebted to Mr. Thomas Mulvey, K.C., Under-Secretary of State of Canada, to the Government of the Union of South Africa, and to Mr. Fred. Johns, of Adelaide, author of "Johns's Notable Australians," and of "Who's Who in Australia."
