Sub-sub-series consists of a variety of records relating to the administration of The Volunteer Bounty Act of 1908 by the Land Patents Branch, Department of the Interior. The sub-sub-series contains three major groups of records.

The South Africa Volunteers Draft Files contain draft copies of letters, memoranda, etc. concerning the Branches day-to-day administration of The Volunteer Bounty Act. Many of these documents are convenience copies of records which were created, and/or used, by the Branch, and later filed in the Department's central registry (see: RG 15, series D-ii-1). In most cases, the central registry files numbers are indicated on the individual documents. The file is divided into two parts: part 1 is dated 1908-1909; part 2 is dated 1909-1912.

The South Africa Volunteers Statements contain monthly and weekly statements documenting the distribution of land certificates by the Land Patents Branch. The file is divided into two parts: part 1 is dated 1910-1914; part 2 is dated 1909-1914.

The sub-sub-series also includes "Rulings, S.A.V. Land Grant, 1908" - an alphabetical subject index to departmental rulings on its interpretation of The Volunteer Bounty Act. Each entry provides a file number in the Department's central registry (see: RG 15, series D-ii-1) to which the ruling was first applied. This copy of the index at one time belonged to N.O. Coté, Controller of the Land Patents Branch.
