VII.
When a ray of the sun or other single figure is borne in any other
part of the escutcheon than the centre, the point it issues from must
be named.
VIII.
The natural colour of trees, plants, fruits, birds, &c., is to be
expressed in emblazoning by the word _proper_; but if they vary from
their natural colour, the tincture or metals that is used must be
named.
IX.
Two metals cannot come in contact: thus or, cannot be placed on
argent, but must be contrasted with a tincture.
X.
When there are many figures of the same species borne in coats of
arms, their number must be observed as they stand, and properly
expressed. The annexed arrangements of roundlets in shields will show
how they are placed and described.
[Illustration: Two roundlets in pale]
[Illustration: Two roundlets in fess]
The two roundlets are arranged in pale, but they may appear in chief
or base; or in fess, as in No. 2.
[Illustration: Three roundlets, two over one]
Three roundlets, two over one; if the single roundlet had been at the
top, it would have been called _one over two_.
[Illustration: Three roundlets in bend]
Three roundlets in bend. They might also be placed in fess, chief,
base, or in pale.
[Illustration: Four roundlets, two over two]
Four roundlets, two over two. Some armorists call them _cantoned_ as
they form a square figure.
[Illustration: Five roundlets in saltier]
Five roundlets; two, one, two, in saltier.
[Illustration: Five roundlets in cross]
Five roundlets; one, three, one, or in cross.
[Illustration: Six roundlets paleway]
Six roundlets; two, two, two, paleway.
[Illustration: Six roundlets in pile]
Six roundlets; three, two, one, in pile.
There are seldom more figures than seven, but no matter the number;
they are placed in the same way, commencing with the figures at the
top of the shield, or in chief. If the field was strewed all over with
roundlets, this would be expressed by the word _sem�_.
_Marshalling coats of arms_, is the act of disposing the arms of
several persons in one escutcheon, so that their relation to each
other may be clearly marked.
In Heraldry, the husband and wife are called _baron and femme_; and
when they are descended from distinct families, both their arms are
placed in the same escutcheon, divided by a perpendicular line through
the centre of the shield. As this line runs in the same direction, and
occupies part of the space in the shield appropriated to the ordinary
called the pale, the shield is in heraldic language said to be _parted
per pale_. The arms of the baron (the husband) are always placed on
the dexter side of the escutcheon; and the femme (the wife), on the
sinister side, as in the annexed example.
