(All schedules should be as brief as possible.  Only the general character of the things described should be shown.  Land should be described without setting out a full legal description.)

(In Schedule C, the personal estate not specifically bequeathed should be set out separately from the other personal property outstanding or undisposed of.  Where there is no specific bequest, the report should state that fact.)
