The Tarlogy Post Office, located on the Corentyne Coast in the Berbice Postal District, was initially opened at the Police Station in Wellington Park. After the closure of the police station, the office was moved to Eversham on December 1, 1902. Postmarks dated after this transfer were used at Eversham. It is possible that the post office used the coded postmark “EC8,” which may have been passed on from Wellington Park.

The following are the Date Stamps used at Tarlogy with EKD prior to 22 January 1901, the day marking the end of the reign of Queen Victoria. In addition to listing the Panda Type #, for reference, we also list the T&H Type from The Postage Stamps and Postal History of British Guiana by Townsend & Howe, the Type and referenced page from The Postal History of British Guiana by Edward B. Proud, and the referenced pages from British Guiana Coded Postmarks – Study paper No 3 by Michael Rego, for code-marks.
