Note: Under this Table, when the wife of a Contributor dies, and such Contributor- marries again, the pension to his widow shall be calculated as follows:— (a) No variation of the registered pension is to be recorded if the second (or subse-.. quent) wife be, at the date of the remarriage, of the same age next birthday as the last, preceding wife would have been had she survived to that date; (b) If the second (or subsequent) wife be, at the date of the remarriage, a greater- or less age next birthday than the last preceding wife would have been had she^ survived to that date:— The Civil Service Widows and Orphans Pension [No. 19.] Amendment Law, 1930.

Multiply the amount of the registered pension by the quantity found from Table C corresponding to the age next birthday of the husband at the date of remarriage, and the age next birthday which the last preceding wife would have attained baa she survived to that date; multiply the product so obtained by the quantity found from Table A corresponding to the respective ages of the husband and of— the second (or subsequent) wife at the date of the remarriage. The result gives the pension to be recorded on the remarriage of the Contributor in respect of his past contributions.
