The Major Errors
"Zanizbar" errors
Hall variety 6. S.G. variety 10k, 22B. R.9/1 of Overprint Setting 1, Printing 5
Hall understandably found it "a little curious" (p. 17) that this variety was issued only in two values - the 1½a. in surcharged state only and the 3a.. No further evidence to the contrary has emerged since
