Introduction This Index covers the period from February 1951 to December 2015; Bulletins 1-170, three Newsletters and

various self-contained occasional supplements which accompanied Bulletins. The following pages aim to follow

the main principles already established. As with previous editions, this work is prefaced with a summary enabling

the reader to link the date of issue with the number of the issue. In cases where separate papers, articles etc.

accompanied earlier Bulletins, few were actually referred to as ‘Supplements’. However the Index treats them all

as such in order to simplify matters.

Indexing has been prepared in accordance with the following:

A subject appearing in ‘Bulletin 33 page 8’ will be listed as ‘33/8’.

An entry on page 8 of a related Supplement to Bulletin 33 and needing specific mention will be listed as

‘33/Suppt.8’.

An entry for the ‘Supplement’ as a whole would simply read ‘33/Suppt.’

Newsletter items are prefixed by ‘N’.

It should be noted that the earliest Bulletin issues could not be copied satisfactorily and were finally retyped onto

A4 masters so that any request for past issues could be met. As a consequence the existence of slightly different

pagination is recognized. Over a period of time, further and important research has rendered obsolete or

reshaped much information within Bulletins 1-30. Any member still referring to the original sized Bulletins, should

bear in mind that the page quoted in this index may be at a slight variance.

Readers are recommended to delve into the Philatelic bibliography compiled by R. H. Keach, for sources of

information outside BCSC Bulletins. This bibliography was updated in a Supplement to Bulletin 48 (i.e. Supplement

number 28).

Reports of contemporary stamp issues are omitted unless they contain information that does not seem to be in

the usual catalogues. With effect from the ‘2008 index update’, references to general or irrelevant Study Circle

administrative matters have been omitted.

With the exception of the ‘Mols’ issues, general articles and summaries are normally indexed first as entries under

the given headings, and are not further indexed under later subheadings. In the case of the ‘Mols’, this duplication

enables two different collecting methods to be catered for, that is by issue or by denomination. Furthermore,

anything missed from one listing should be recorded in the other.

Stuart Smith (2013)

In the process of converting the Bulletin archive to a digital format, the index has been brought up to

date. In the digital format there is no restriction on space as there is with a printed version (for which

3

the least number of pages possible is a significant consideration). The layout is more spaced which I

hope will make it easier to use. An edited list of the Supplements was present in the 2013 update of the

Index. With the increased space available, this list is given in full. Stuart’s reassurance that, “every effort has

been made to remain logical and consistent” still holds true. However, it is inevitable some omissions or errors

will occur. It would be greatly appreciated that any are drawn to the General Secretary or the Bulletin Editor.

Newsletters alone (N1, N2 & N3) were issued at these times

Supplements issued with the Bulletin

Between 1951 and 1998, 54 articles and other items of interest were issued as Supplements to the Bulletin.

Their pagination was separate to that of bulletin. When published, the supplements were not numbered. In

the table that follows, each supplement has been given a number for the convenience.

To avoid confusion, the indexing system adopted by Stuart Smith has been retained. (e.g. An entry for the

Supplement that accompanied Bulletin 33 would read “33/Suppt.” An entry for a particular page for the

Supplement that accompanied Bulletin 33 would read “33/Suppt. 3” if that page is page 3).

Nine of the 16 Addenda & Corrigenda to the first edition of “The Cancellations of the Normal Post Offices of

Belgian Congo 1886 – 1960 & Ruanda Urundi 1917 – 1962” were issued as supplements between 1974 and

1981. The remaining seven were included in the bulletin. Again, for convenience all are listed in the table.

Over the next 15 years a series of 16 Addenda & Corrigenda were produced as supplements to, or were incorporated within the Bulletin. All were included in the second edition published in 1992. Members who possess the second (or third) edition will not need to consult the following subsection. For convenience all 16 Addenda & Corrigenda are presented here.

PART 2

CONGO – Mols stamps by Date of Issue

The reader should pay particular attention to the series of Supplements as well as ‘Plating Mols stamps’ by

Hudson, which appeared in Bulletins 85-90 and reviewed with illustrations by Smith, in Bulletins 153-161. The

details therein are too numerous to be indexed within the following framework. Introductory general notes are

in 85/Suppt (Part 1) as amended by 86/2. The separate tables relating to the 1909 overprints are also repeated

together in Bulletins 112 & 113. The reader is also referred to the series of detailed books by Frenay, dealing

with the Independent State Mols issues. More recently Leo Tavano has added to the series and these too should

be consulted.

The ‘Index’ is prepared in considerable detail. Please also look at the ‘Entire Period’ articles. Furthermore, also play

safe by seeking specific information on individual values in ‘Part 3’ of this index.

As the design of this stamp is based on that of the

40c Mols - reference should be made to coverage

of that value in main articles listed under ‘1894-

1925 entire period’

Date of issue:

62/13

Part 3

CONGO – ‘Mols’ stamps by Denomination Part 3 covers the previous section in more detail. For a given stamp and where practical, it gives details of almost

all places where specific mention has been made and this runs counter to the normal theory of this index, i.e.

that of letting the user search for himself through major articles in order to supplement references already

found indexed. If a given Mols stamp is not mentioned individually in the following pages, this implies that an

important Bulletin comment on that specific stamp is unlikely to be found. However, bear in mind that general

information on issues to be found within Part 2. For plating purposes the series of Supplements by Brian Hudson

15

beginning with Bulletin 85 is indispensable but the comments therein are too detailed to index individually. The

Hudson Tables relating to 1909 overprints are repeated together for convenience in Bulletins 112 and 113.

Information on the ‘Princes’ issue is best sought in Part 2, subsection ‘c, (v)’. Specific to the identification of

printing plate combinations, Hudson original work has been updated and illustrated by Smith, in Bulletins 153-

161.

Note: The listing that follows is by basic stamp, prior to any subsequent overprint or surcharging.

Printing

Some of the sub-sections below also receive mention

in the series of ‘Plating articles’ starting in Bulletin

85. These should be studied carefully as complete

cross-reference within this index would be quite

impracticable.

Printing may be regarded as a difficult technical

subject and a few years ago Ray Keach suggested a

few changes in terminology. He preferred ‘lay marks’

– the term used by Waterlow & Sons – to ‘traits de

repère’. ‘Guide marks’ are confused with ‘guide lines’

and ‘guide dots’; the latter two having been engraved

on the plate before entry of the subjects and which,

where practicable, should have been burnished

away.

‘Lay marks’ were intended to remain, in order to aid

centring the vignettes within the casements. Apart

from those alterations, the entire ‘Printing’ section

has remained unchanged for many years.
