The seventh Sunday after Pentecost is of semi-double rite and its liturgical colour is green. The Gospel pericopes from St. Matthew contain the words of warning from the LORD concerning false prophets appearing as sheep but who, in reality, are wolves.
At Vespers yesterday afternoon the antiphons and psalms of Saturday were sung. The Office hymn was Jam sol recedit igneussung with the Doxology of the Incarnation, Jesu, tibi...Qui natus etc. After the collect of the Sunday commemorations were sung of the preceding Cctave Day of SS Peter & Paul and of SS Cyril & Methodius. The Suffrage of the Saints was omitted as were the Dominical preces at Compline.
At Mattins the invitatory is Dominum qui fecit nos and the Office hymn is Nocte surgentes. In the first nocturn the lessons are the Incipit of the Third Book of the Kings. In the second nocturn the lessons are taken from am epistle of St. Jerome to Nepotianus. In the third nocturn the homily on St. Matthew's Gospel is from St. Hiliary. The Te Deum is sung. The Te Deum is sung. At Lauds the Office hymn is Ecce jam noctis. After the collect of the Sunday a commemoration is sung of SS Cyril & Methodius. The Suffrage of the Saints is omitted.
At Prime (Pss. 117, 118i & 118ii) both Quicumque and the Dominical preces are omitted.
Mass is sung after Terce. The Gloria is sung, the second collect is of SS Cyril & Methodiux. Today there is no third collect. The Creed is sung and the preface is of the Blessed Trinity.
Prior to the reform of 1911-13 the first Sunday of July was the feast of the Most Precious Blood. All Masses, apart from the Conventual Mass, may be of the feast. The Mass Redemisti nos is sung in red vestments with Gloria, and second collect of the Sunday. The Creed is sung, the preface is of the Cross and the last Gospel is of the Sunday.
At Vespers the antiphons and psalms (109, 110, 111, 112 & 113) of Sunday are sung. The Office hymn is Lucis creator. After the collect of the Sunday commemorations are sung of the following Office of St. Elizabeth of Portugal and SS Cyril & Methodius. The Suffrage is omitted as are the Dominical preces at Compline.
In the 'liturgical books of 1962' the Octave of SS Peter & Paul has been abolished. There are no commemoration at either Vespers. Mattins is cut down to a single nocturn of three lessons. At Lauds there are no commemorations. At Mass there is a single collect.

I finally found out the source of the concurring office being first to be commemorated, in both Wapelhorst (1902) and de Herdt (1903): they both cite an 1895 Decree, during Leo XIII's reign. I wonder how it got skipped over in even the 1900 Jubilee Breviary rubrics; I would think a decree like that would be quite important.
@Paul,
In ASS 27 (1894-95) pp. 437-438 there is a decree to this effect but it is dated 2nd May 1893. The date might be an OCR error as I am relying on the Vatican Resource Library scans.
Both de Herdt and Wapelhorst refer to S. R. C. 5 Febr. 1895, Decretum Gen. Com. in Vesp. n. 3843.
@Paul,
The SRC decree and the text is ASS are the same.
@Paul,
A friend has kindly checked in a library series of ASS and the 1893 date is correct.
