_Two values._ Same as the last issue, but the paper is rosy-white in tint. (_Illustrations 39, 40._) _Size A._ 5⁹⁄₂₀ × 3¹⁄₁₀ _inches_. 1 c., blue. 3 c., vermilion (?). _Size B._ 5⁹⁄₁₀ × 3³⁄₁₀ _inches_. 3 c., vermilion. _Remarks._—The envelopes and wrappers of Issues I. and II., and the cards of Issue V., are frequently met with, with the stamp surcharged in red, blue, or black with the word “OFFICIAL” or “SERVICE,” and sometimes the arms of Great Britain are found added to the left of the stamp, and “HEAD QUARTERS—63RD RIFLES” in two lines lower down, to left. These surcharges are in no way official, but merely due to private speculation. WRAPPERS. Issue I. May, 1875, to end 1881. _One value._ On light buff and yellowish-white wove unwatermarked paper. The stamp is impressed at the right side of the wrapper, about two and a half inches from the top. Design: Diademed profile of Queen Victoria to right upon a background of horizontal lines, enclosed within an oval band of solid colour contained between two white lines, the inner one of which has ornaments running round the central oval. The band is inscribed in Roman capitals “CANADA POSTAGE” above, and “ONE CENT” below. At either side, between the two inscriptions, are small circles containing a fancy Arabic numeral of value. Above and below the circles are conventional ornaments, and beneath the bottom ones a small Maltese cross. Shape of stamp, an upright oval. The wrappers are gummed at the reverse side in a straight line along the top. The gum used is brown or white in colour, and the quantity employed varies greatly in different specimens. Two sizes of the wrappers are known. (_Illustration 41._) _Size A._ 9³⁄₁₀ × 5 _inches_. 1 c., dark blue. _Size B._ 11 × 5 _inches_. (End 1881.) 1 c., blue (light to dark). _Variety._ With the stamp printed to left. (May, 1878.) 1 c., dark blue. _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._) (A) _On light buff paper._ 1 c., pale blue. (B) _On straw paper._ 1 c., blue (shades). (C) _On cream paper._ 1 c., ultramarine (shades). Issue III. 1887.
