A year later in 1853 the Straits issued a set of eight values on their own account the most interesting being the 95 cent. grey which with 1 per forations is catalogued by Stanley Gibbons at 48-15 then followed a long series of sur- charges with small differences over which the specialists may revel, a fát bold ten on a stamp means a paltry six shillings while a thin weak ten rises up to £4. Browning perchance, was thisking of surcharges when he wrote, The little more and how much it is. The little less and what worlds away. In 1883 the water mark was changed from the Crown over C.C. 10. the Crown over C.1. The former letters stood for Crows Colonies while the latter, an the thoughtful will surmise, means Crown Agents. The last issue in Queen Victoria's reign commenced in 1891 and remained in se till the first issue of King Edward in 1902. The first issue of the present King'showed no put- cular beauty design, which indeed was common to very many of the Crown Colonies.

King Edward stamps are rising rapidly in value. Having lived a very, respectable and quiet, philatelic life up till the present year, the Straits caused bit of a sensation.
