Thank you Richard. You're right, a 500 would be more appropriate. <br><br>This is the book:<br>Charters and by-laws : full text of the original charters, with amendments thereto and complete copies of the by-laws of forty-two life insurance companies in the United States. Oak Park, Ill. : Flitcraft, 1905.<br>

<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>

<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal">Good morning everyone,<br></p><p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal"><br></p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal">I would very much appreciate your help. While cataloguing
a book published in 1905 I discovered that it has three consecutive original leaves replaced by
cancels. <span> </span>How do I express that in the
590 note? </p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal">Should I say “Special Collections copy includes three
cancellantia”? Should I also indicate the page numbers?</p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal"><br></p><p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal">Thank you very much and have a wonderful day!</p>
