Finally arrived Dobeln (10 Apr). T mark and "Post Cards to This Address / Cannot be Forwarded" applied in USA. With BPA certificate. Given the low volume of mails, existing exampels of Hiogo BPO are very scarce as Webb only recorded one cover front with Hiogo BPO and D30 obliterator. As this PO was closed after 1879, it is probably a last year usage.1879.4.10 “環遊世界”德國10芬尼郵資片，自Dobeln寄挪威，途經日本等國，返回Dobeln。加貼挪威票20歐爾，銷4.19 Vaalerisma日戳。4.21經Christiania，5.25經新加坡至香港海上分揀，5.12（誤植日期）經兵庫（神戶）英國客郵局，6.24 經兵庫（神戶）日本郵局，6.29經橫濱，7.17經三藩市。4.10返回Dobeln。於美國鈐T章及‘Post Cards to This Address / Cannot be Forwarded”指示戳。附BPA證書。兵庫（神戶）英國客郵局郵務較少，故存世例子甚罕，Webb記錄中僅見一件同時蓋有兵庫英局圓戳及D30殺手戳之封面。此郵局於1879年後關閉，此片可能為最晚一年郵例。
