I have been looking through a Scott Catalogue and notice that on early stamp issues they

describe the Perforations as

Perf 9 to 13.5 and Compound

What do they mean by Compound?

re: Scott Catalogue Terms re:- Perforations

There are two other possibilities that are listed in the Stanley Gibbons Catalogue, but may not be in Scott. Both are kind of interesting.

New Zealand SG 568, Scott 197 can be found with the top and bottom perf 13-14 which means that one side is Perf 13 and the other side is Perf 14.

Cook Islands SG 100b, Scott85 has two columns of perfs from being reperforated.
