The series consists of lists of officers forwarded to East India House by commanding officers of units, the Bombay Adjutant-General or the Bombay Military Paymaster. From 1790 they include British Army regiments serving in the Bombay Presidency, and the arrangement is then: general list in rank order, staff, regiments in order of precedence, surgeons, casualties. A published Bombay Army List appeared in India between 1823 and 1895 (continued in the Indian Army List) and after 1856 this version only was sent to London.
