A third set of stamps planned for 1962 to honor Malaria Eradication efforts.  It was prepared for printing, but not completed or released.


The picturing of animals (mosquitos in this case) in conjunction with honoring a program to kill them was offensive to the Bhutanese.  Imperforate proofs of two of the three values planned exist in the open market.  See the Postal History pages.
