In the _Philatelic Monthly_ for March, 1887, is noted a change in the stamp on the single post card, which otherwise remained as before. The new stamp has the foliations around the numerals and is identical with Type 3 of the wrapper stamps, already described, and which it preceded, in fact, by two or three months. As was to be expected, the reply card followed with the same change in the stamps, but no particular notice seems to have been taken of it in the contemporary magazines. The article in the _Dominion Philatelist_ records it as having appeared in 1887 in "black" and in 1888 in "dark green", but the only chronicles that seem to have noted it were the _Philatelic World_ for January, 1888, which says merely that "the stamp on the reply paid card has been slightly altered," and the _American Journal of Philately_ for February, 1888, which says a new reply card in "gray on buff" has just been issued. The information is added that the inscription "Postage" had been changed to "Postcard", but inasmuch as this was a hoax which apparently started with _Le Timbre-Poste_ in the fall of 1887[233] and went the rounds of the philatelic press, the value of the rest of the information is considerably lessened in consequence and we shall therefore take the dates as given in the _Dominion Philatelist_, which seem in the main to be correct. The wrapper stamp of 1875, with wavy line inside the oval, illustrated by _Le Timbre-Poste_ as appearing on the cards in May, 1888, was never employed. It was probably confounded with the third type. [233] =Le Timbre-Poste=, XXV: 94. [Illustration] The next change in the cards was likewise due to a new variety in the stamp, which once more lost its foliations and had only a quatrefoil ornament beneath the numerals, as described for Type 4 of the wrappers, which it again preceded by a couple of months. The new card was apparently first noted in the _Canadian Philatelist_[234] as having been issued at London, Ont., on the 7th December, 1891. This of course may not have been its earliest date of issue but is doubtless not far from it. The normal color of the impression is a dull ultramarine, but the _Dominion Philatelist_ chronicled it in January, 1892, in a "very light skim milk shade of blue", which may be listed as a very pale ultramarine.
