| 1 | P&T PC10A and PC10B are both listed as 9 by H&G. They were printed from two separate stereos used as a pair and occur in notionally equal numbers. They differ in some casting flaws but one is not a variety of the other. |
| 2 | This handstamp was also used on specimens of postage stamps distributed between 1889 and 1892. It is known struck in black and in violet both on postage stamps and on postal stationery. It appears that items struck in black were sent to the UPU whereas items struck in violet were used in presentation sets. |
| 3 | This cancellation was also used on specimens of postage and postage due stamps distributed in 1904. |
| 4 | Perth datestamps were also struck on specimens of postage stamps in 1906, dated 11 MY 06, and in 1909, dated 25 MR 1909. |
