1½d green with unlocated variety Vertical Scratch Behind Emu from the bottom of the pane with Horizontal
Watermark Line, a couple of short perfs, Adelaide cds clear of the flaw. A significant new discovery. [Believed to be
an Early (1st) State of the BSAP-listed H207 which is found in a more Advanced (2nd) State on the 1½d red (with
an additional Break in Shading Line Near Right Wattles)]{Page 30.6}
2d orange Electro 1 Cracked Electro to Left of Right Value Tablet BW #95(1)ha, cancellation just clear of the
variety, Cat $250.
2d scarlet Electro 8 Cracked Electro through Wattles at Upper-Left BW #96(8)fa, indisinct cancellation just impinges
upon the variety, Cat $350. A dramatic flaw.
2d scarlet from Electro 15 with Crack Traversing Roo's Leg and Thigh not listed in ACSC but BSAP-listed as
position 15L39, slogan cancellation impinges upon the variety. Quite a striking flaw.
228 **/* A B1 2d red-brown Harrison Imprint block of 4 from the upper plate BW #97(12)z, unusually well centred for an imprint
block, the lower units unmounted, Cat $200+ (mounted).

guillotined at the base resulting in only the top line of the imprint remaining"] {Page 34.1}
233 */** A 1/4d bright turquoise Harrison Imprint pair BW #128z, the left-hand unit remarkably well centred & very lightly
mounted, the right-hand unit is unmounted, Cat $7500 for a mounted block of 4. Rare.{Page 34.3}
