<font size="2"><font face="georgia,serif">This is almost certainly not copy specific, though it's perfectly possible that only some copies have the cancels, so it could well be a 500 note. Anyway, something like "The 3 leaves containing p. <x>-<x+5> are cancels". I like the term "cancellantia", but it would need to be explained, as "are cancellantia (substitute leaves)".</font></font><div>
