<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Georgia",serif;color:#1F497D">This one's tough, Graham. The question is how far to go to make a statement that accurately reflects the collation. My approach is to record the signatures and make
a separate note explaining the discrepancy when signatures don't match collation.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Georgia",serif;color:#1F497D">Then I'd think about adding information regarding e and f as you put it, or leave it off to highlight that only a-d is anomalous. The one convenient fact is that a
single leaf enfolds the rest <i>can be</i> described adequately by the signature statement and wouldn't necessarily need extra explanation.
