by abnormal intervals between the lines of surcharge and by faulty alignment of the letters. The latter are so numerous and varied that I have not thought it worth while to list them. Two varieties are shown on Plate 3 and another in fig. 5 of Plate 4.
Major Maxwell has shown me a used 3 anna stamp in which apparently the Hindi व (or W) in Gwalior is printed ट (or T). The shape of the letter does not lend itself to the supposition that the type has been broken. I have, however, failed to find the variety in any of the sheets which I have examined, and prefer to look upon it as a doubtful "error" till I have more information. It is probably of the 17th or 18th issue, in which case it should occur in the ½ and 2 annas value as well, and possibly also in the one anna.
