[ two series (one from 1978 and other from 1979)  , both designed by Marta Poppe and L. Ramos, are missing... they are not presented , because I don't know what is the role of each designer in the production of the stamps, or the stamps each one of them has designed.. Additional research is needed and an update will come , when I know these answers...]
