Mauritius Post issued a set of 4 stamps on 6 June 2016 on the subject of Freshwater Fauna of Mauritius. It is 6 months since the island's postal service last issued a stamp - on 7 December 2015 it released a single stamp to commemorate the Bicentenary of the National Archives. Only 4 new stamps plus 1 reprinted Rs7 definitive were issued by Mauritius during 2015. Rating:- ****.
Philatelic Collector Inc., the US-based "Boutique Philatelic Agency", as it likes to be known, has released details of its latest philatelic products on behalf of its 3 client postal administrations - those of Cook Islands, Samoa and Tonga. The agency seems to have quietened down a little on its new issue release recently and it's hard to moan too much about what is in the latest batch of products.
