Abstract

Issues X, Y and Z were printed in multicolours. Colour checks in the form of coloured discs 3mm in diameter are seen in the right hand margin, next to the last stamp of the bottom row, in each Pane, of each value, in issues X, Y and Z, except in the 10c value, of issue Y, which are next to the last stamps of the two bottom rows. It is interesting to mention here, that for the colour checks of Pane A, of the 13c value, of issue Z, nothing can be said for reasons to be stated later on. Colour checks from top to bottom correspond to the colours used for Pane numbers from left to right, on all Panes, of all values, of issues X, Y and Z, except for the top colour (blue) in the 10c value, of issue Y which in the Pane numbers is printed last on.. the right instead of first on the left. Cumulative totals of progressive columns of stamps are seen in top and bottom margins, printed in black, on all Panes, of all values, in issues X, Y and Z. [excerpt]
