_Remarks._—The band with stamp to left is taken from _The Sixth Edition
of M. Moens’ Catalogue_, where the size is given as 290 × 165 mm. This
variety is unknown to the members of the Society.
Issue II. 1882.
_One value._ On light buff, straw, or cream-coloured wove unwatermarked
paper. Size, 11 × 5 inches, varying slightly in the dimensions. The
stamp is impressed in a similar position to that found on Issue I., and
the design is a modification of the type of that issue. The principal
alterations made are found in the circles at the sides containing the
numeral of value. These have now no ornaments at the top; while those at
the bottom, with the Maltese crosses, are replaced by other conventional
ornaments of a different pattern. The central oval of the stamp has no
ornaments running round it. (_Illustration 42._)
