  • Helvetia Philatelic Society Newsletter
    UDC 656.835 (494) ISSN 0951-0001 HELVETIA PHILATELIC SOCIETY NEWSLETTER Founded in 1946 by Edward H Spiro Honorary President Tony Hoyle Honorary Secretary Peter Vonwiller 13 Pulpit Close CHESHAM Buckinghamshire HP5 2RZ Tel. +44 (0)1494 782472 Honorary Editor Peter Hobbs Six Tyning End Widcombe BA2 6AN Tel. +44 (0)1225 310971 No. 1 January 2007 On reading Fred Pickard's erudite comments in the December newsletter, answering a query concerning the 1936 Landscape issue, I was reminded of the situation regarding the 1949 issue. Printing started in May of that year, and in the case of the 20c value, printing was halted after 18,000 sheets of 50 stamps had been printed; it was decided that the appearance of the stamp was not satisfactory. A new die was prepared and printing recommenced, some 1,558,240,000 being eventually produced; the original 18,000 sheets were not destroyed however, they were issued to Post Offices along with those of the later printing (die 2). The differences between the two dies, was not discovered until late in 1951. Obviously large quantities of the Die 2 stamp were printed before the first day of issue, consequently there was plenty of scope for printing errors to have occurred. I have a block of four stamps, with a first day cancel, which shows blotches of colour, which are not uncommon in stamps with much later cancellations. Whilst looking at the first day of issue blocks, I discovered error in the 25c value; this was not due to faulty printing, but was caused by a scratch in the printing plate, which creates a straight line of colour, not unlike a tall post, rising from the road across the Melide dam, directly above the letter L in Helvetia.(see illustration) Zumstein lists this error under Z302 pfl ; I had previously seen exactly the same fault in a single stamp, unfortunately undated, and I also have a stamp with a similar fault, but in this case directly above the E in Helvetia.

At the highly frequented Gornergrat in Switzerland there was a need to develop a concept to demerge the paths of hikers and mountain bikers and thus enable a conflict-free use for all user groups. The pre- sent study aimed at providing vegetation maps of the sensible areas at Gornergrat to derive recommendations for the planning and res- toration of the new trail network. For this purpose, we sampled 32 vegetation plots (10 m²). These were then subjected to TWINSPAN classification, and the derived five units characterized by their diagnostic species based on standardized phi-values. We used ANOVA to test for differences of these units with regard to environmental parameters. The five distinguished vegetation units were assigned to syntaxa down to the alliance level.
