Characteristic marks to be given for identification of pensioner; Financial Commissioner’s notification no. 411, dated 22^nd March, 1873.  The officer preparing the descriptive roll containing the particulars to be entered in the permanent payable order for the identification of the pensioner should be careful to avoid stereotyped phraseology, unless for purposes of identification, and to describe clearly any immutable physical peculiarity or distinguishing mark on the person which will enable the pensioner to be surely identified.
