There are not many errors in the new Durland as the result of careful work
by Kim Johnson and John Larson, but below are the few that we have noted. Also
included are new reports received too late for inclusion. All of these
changes will be made in the next edition.
| p. x | Imprint VII also used on Cuba 227-232. |
| | Imprint VIII also used on battleship revenues. |
| | Imprint IX used "on" not "of" booklet panes. |
| | Imprint XI used on one plate of 343, also. |
| p. 12 | Under #213, delete dagger from plate 682. |
| p. 33 | Under #320,b,c. On the line starting "Imprint block of 6," delete comma between 320 and b. |
| p. 41 | Under #374, add note: "Top or bottom plate blocks with straight edge on the left side come from panes
of 60 issued in 1912 (see Appendix B). Price, $300" |
| p. 52 | #424. Change sentence on p. 52 to read: "The only examples known are UL panes of 100 of 6581
and 6585." A full UL pane of 6585, no imprint, was seen at NAPEX. |
| p. 89 | Replace dagger with c on 15540. Add asterisk to 15937. Change dagger to asterisk on 17846. |
| p. 90 | Under #602, replace dagger with asterisk on 15280. |
| p. 112 | In the diagram of the bottom plate block of the second layout, delete
"& F" from the black number (F only in top position). |
| p. 124 | In the left column at top, the last boxes are not lined up. |
| p. 163 | The tagged Revere is listed here as 1059b, but in Appendix N as 1059Ab. I think the latter
is correct. The untagged Revere in Appendix N lists 37606,7, but in the text it is shown
only tagged. Does anyone know which is correct? |
| p. 174 | Under #1229, remove dagger from 27964. |
| p. A30 | Stiff has identified subtypes of the 10 cent. Thus under overprint types in second column, where
we have type I, nadir of O over T, squat letters: add Ia, O below 1; Ib, numbers level. |
| p. A31 | #J90, dull gum (1B). 35306,7 priced at $20, now known UR (both) and LR (35306 only) |
| | #J93. Price 26289 at $75. |
| p. A32 | #J94, dull gum (1B), LR known on 35306. |
| | #J97, shiny gum. Under type Ia, list 26289, 26290, 26291, 26292. Under type Ib, 26290, 26292,
plus all of the rest of the numbers now listed (that is, omit 26289 and 26291). |
| | #J97, dull gum (1B), type III, UR known on 35307; dull gum (1A), type I, UR known on 37876;
dull gum (1B), type II, UR, LL known on 37876; UL, UR known on 37877. |
| p. A36 | Under K8, plate 10788, change O to X under LRR. |
| | Under K11, plate 10623, change O to X under ULT. |
| | Under #K14, change O to X on LLB position of 6899. |
| p. A51 | The headings for the First Issue should be Revenue Issues. The headings for the Second,
Third, etc., issues should be Documentary. The first issue included proprietary stamps as well, but starting with
the second issue they are listed separately. |
| p. A62 | #R217. Remove dagger from 45876 (R plate single). Under #R229, add B60. Delete B60 from 2 cent
list on p A63. These items were seen at NAPEX. |
| p. A69 | #RB48. Add A11 |
| p. A81 | #RJA41. Add 55341 L |
| p. A98 | #101a. Remove T on basic price line. This was a rotary booklet, and the partial plate number
will be in the side margin. |
| p. A133 | Add "T L R B" heading under #409. |
| p. A139 | Delete 15280. |
| p. A140 | Delete 17846, 27964. |
| p. A144 | This page is part of Appendix M. |
| p. A145 | There needs to be a summary of what the abbreviations in the table mean. P means precancelled,
T means trace, and w* means with star; w* is used only when it was reported this way; top plate
numbers with high percentages will all show the star. There are a number of items on this page
that do not belong. First, the heading should read "...per-centage for rotary coils." Then the
items marked proof under 454, 488, 495 should be deleted. The 483 is a flat plate coil and does
not belong. 538 is coil waste, and this should be deleted. |
| p. A147 | Under #603, delete plate 17611. This plate was not used, and is clearly misidentified. |
| | Under #604, delete the proofs (last 4 items on page). |
| p. A148 | Under #606 delete 19228. This plate was never finished, and is misidentified.
|
| | Under #656, delete semicolon after 40 on plate 19782. |
| p. A149 | Under #842, change 23238 to 23236. The former was a commemmorative plate. |
| p. A151 | Under #1057, add "384 subj." Then remove 25825,6 and 27028,9 and list under 432 subj. |
| p. A152 | Under #1058, 432 sub.,"Plates" misspelled. The listings for plates 37606,7 should be under the
B/R column, as the plate numbers are in the bottom margin. Note what is said above about untagged
versions of these plates. |
| p. A155 | Under #1615C, add 38748P and 38751P, both 45% in B position. Add a listing for #1616a (imperf) plates
37167,8, bottom 145%. The listing of #1816 is an error for #1618, a 13 cent stamp. The plates are correct. Under
#1813b, add 39361, bottom 60%. Headings on the third column are misplaced. |
