"In reply to the query raised by Messrs. Roche and Smithson in Bulletin No. 2 in regard to the flaw of the broken oval of pearls below the base of the King's neck on S.G.104 (10/-) 1944 printing it appears to be constant. I have a marginal block of 4 and No.49 shows the flaw. I am afraid I am not able to help an S.G.105b(£1) of the same printing. I myself would like to refer to another flaw. I have S.G.62 (5/-) on orange buff paper which is not catalogued showing an interesting variety. It is contained in the word "LEEWARD" in which the lower part of the left and right hand legs of the letter 'A' are cut short immediately below the horizontal bar. Also the lower part of the vertical leg of the letter 'R' is shortened and the lower part of the sloping leg of the letter 'R' is slightly affected as well in a somewhat similar manner. This variety appears to be constant as 1 have two unused copies, one contained in a block of 4 and the other being a single copy, and both are on orange buff paper. The variety is to be found on one of the first five stamps of the top row in either the left or right hand pane. Has any member seen or heard of this variety and, if so, what is its position on the pane and is it only to be found on orange buff paper?"
