Nice catch!
My bad, my memory had it as a "Squared Circle" when it was really a double ring

There was no Squared Circle of Myersville.
Thanks.

Top center is the last few letters of the "boxed" (?) CANCELLED typically seen on telegraph usages.

PS: my EKU can mean either "Earliest known use" or date Post Office opened.

Brilliant! explains the wide space between my perceived "l" and "E"
added to album page with a ? for later confirmation.
Also may explain the higher value [6d]

I think my web link includes "Jamaica postal markings" or will check
Steve Panting's Telegraph site.
Thanks Collin.

The question mark is for the description of the cancel as "boxed" when it is not exactly a box..."sausaged" doesn't sound right.

Interesting.
I consider (at this moment) all are "boxed" no matter the shape of the perimeter.
Happy to be corrected.

The question mark, remains until seen in full on a stamp, or stationery, or on cover (ie "proven")

"Sausaged" No, I don't think that would be adopted.

Interesting useless information:
In the 1000's upon 1000's of New South Wales Postal "Instructional markings"
there is but one "cancelled" (unboxed) used for "accountancy"
