7¢ Bistre 2L12
"Doubling of the frame at the upper left and lower left corners with a small projection from each and a faint line inside the upper right comer; five lines project into the left numeral box and three into a stem near that box"
Leo's Notes
Re-entry (in Marler)
- a) The left frame projects into the left margin in the top and bottom corners.
- b) Vertical line inside the right frame in the top right corner.
- c) Five lines project into the top half of the LNB.
- d) Several lines project into the left stem of the bottom left leaf.
Re-entry in Zone 29

Sheet Format
Notch Type: NBR
On page 374, Marler states: "In 19 Subjects of Plates 1 and 2 there is in the white band around the portrait oval, either below E or at right center, either a single line or a group of lines. Whether this is a consequence of a re-entry or not, the author cannot say, but he considers them not to be of sufficient importance to warrant describing them, particularly as many of them are much the same in their general appearance."
In an article to be published in a future issue of "The Admiral's Log", Leopold Beaudet and I suggest that these "Notch" varieties are actually quite interesting. We have found over 40 different instances and many plate positions have been determined using the plate proofs at Library and Archives Canada.
