After that the practice appeared to cease. The British Library has Reports from 1849-1873 (broken sequence) as follows: Oriental Collections ST 1257 Holdings: 1st (1849)-7th (1855), wanting: 6th (1854) and July 1858/Apr. 1859-1872/73, wanting: 1865/66, 1866/67.(Details in the Integrated Catalogue). However, it is not known whether these are the same documents referred to in the India List post. In addition there are two later editions [http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/a2a/records.aspx?cat=059-iorlmil_8-2_3-1&cid=1-1-1-338#1-1-1-338 IOR/L/MIL/17/5/2300] 1934-1936
