Yellow Brown & Black
Major Re-entry
Plate 2, Row 1, Stamp 1
This re-entry shows signs of a shift to the right. Evidence of it is noticed in all of the letters of POSTAGE and REVENUE, but especially marked at the top of the letters of POSTAGE. The square containing the figure of value at lower right is doubled to the right and this doubling is also seen between the inner and outer vertical framelines on the right of the stamp extending at intervals throughout the whole length. Both of the outer horizontal framelines extend to the right. The scroll work at the right end of the semi-circular NEW ZEALAND label also shows the doubling in its lower portion. Traces of the re-entry are seen in some of the letters of NEW ZEALAND.

Yellow Brown & Black
Major Re-entry
Plate 2, Row 5, Stamp 4
This is a similar type of re-entry to Row 1, No. 2, showing in the ornamental spandrels at the top right of the stamp, and the outer right vertical frameline is doubled to the right at the top of the right-hand corner of the stamp. It shows in the letters EALAN of ZEALAND. It can be distinguished from Row 1, No. 2, in that it shows prominently in the N of ZEALAND and also has an extra line in the space between the outer framelines to the right of the D.

1898 One Penny
Yellow Brown & Black
Major Re-entry
Plate 2, Row 5, Stamp 8
In the letters of ZEALAND this re-entry is somewhat similar to that of Row 3, No. 3, showing in the EALAN, but prominently in the second A, and through the bottom of LAN. As in Row 3, No. 3, the top horizontal frameline extends to the right, and there is a line above the ND in the curved space above these letters. There is a short line of colour between the inner and outer framelines on the right of the stamp opposite the D. Midway between this stamp and the stamp above on the right-hand side there is a short horizontal line of colour which continues, between the pair, to the right, and is usually cut into by the perforations. In a pair or block this line gives a good guide to the re-entry. A remarkable feature about this line, however, is that it occurs in each of the three plates.

Major Re-entry
Plate 2, Row 6, Stamp 3
Similar in type to re-entries Row 3, No. 3, and Row 5, No. 8, this stamp may be distinguished from them in that the re-entry shows also in the ornamented spandrels. Only the letters AND of ZEALAND are doubled, but the re-entry shows also over the letters ND in the curved space above. The top outer frameline extends to the right and there is a line of colour between the inner and outer framelines on the right of the stamp opposite the D.
