I have a 2H71aLi. su~)plJ-' .of th(~ 3/ - value in no less tllan three moststriking shades. The first differs widely from the others, with thec entre ~1.1 traro,arine and t.he frame olive-green.

The second is, I fancy" another eXEimljle of the blurred centre varietyknov..nin the N.Z. 3d and 513, Peace stamDs and the efi'eet is the same ln

the.t the colour is a brillis.nt, [:Llmo'st turquoise blue. The fr81lle (alsoblurred) is much more green and 1'355 ollve.

The third is like the second only ??much more SO". The Vfdoublingn

effect of the blurred. print is considerable and the 8entre shade evendeeper and brighter than in the second. In view of the impending with-drawal of thi s issue on ,July 31 I would sug;;zestthat t.,he.se stam.ps havedistinct :oossibili ti.ss 8.yart froLl tein@: a 'must' in any other than th$most simnlified Islands c011·~:ctions.

I understand, from "one v~a knows". that a special printing of thisvalue has been necessary to ':;nab1e stoc;ks to last until t.be withdrawaldate, July 31. I have a supply of the new 9rinting. The frame shade
