"I was particularly interested in the reference in the report of the material shown at our Circle meeting at the 40th Philatelic Congress to the JAMAICA mark. This mark TRANSIT was in use until at least 1900. I have two examples on Virgin Islands covers addressed to Turks Island. One is dated July 1899 and the other June 1900."
(Mr V. N. F. Surtees reports that his latest copy bearing this mark is dated 7th December 1894 at Kingston. He also states that the mark exists in two types with letters 4½mm. and 5mm. high and that they were in use concurrently. Ed.)
