"As a new member of the CIRCLE I have only recently received the early numbers of the Bulletin and I notice an enquiry about the 'Tarpon's Head' cancellation. Mr. Ludington's theory about this is incorrect. I am afraid as this cancellation was used at CAT CAY about 1936. Both this and the 'Cat' cancellations were rubber 'Duplex' types comprising a single ring approximately 30mm diameter with 'CAT CAY' above and BAHAMAS below, the day, month and year being in one line in the centre (letters 3mm. high) and the pictorial portion. CAT CAY is in the Bimini group which is world famous as a centre for big game fishing, hence the use of the tarpon's head, usually struck in blue. The 'cat' cancellation is that rather rare item, a philatelic pun. It consists of a cat standing on a key, which is the correct local pronunciation of CAY, All copies I have seen of this have been struck in red. Both cancellations are scarce and I can give no definite period of use, but the copies I have seen of both types bore dates in 1936. The island belonged to a Miss Betty Carstairs about this time and more information may be available from this angle soon."
