36 ROYAL SOCIETY OF CANADA 



We now come to consider the charges on the 



Fourth Quartek 



of the arms at Placentia. It will be seen at a glance that they are quite 

 different from those which occupy the fourth place on the Royal Arms 

 of the present day, which are simply a repetition of the first quarter, 

 viz. : the three lions of England. As the Arms at Placentia, both on the 

 painting and on the bailiff's staff, are very much blurred and faded by 

 time and almost obliterated by use, I give here (fig. 18.) a photograph 



Coin — Rekin of Gko. II., 1729. — Fig. 18. 



of a coin of the reign of George II. (172!)), a somewhat earlier period, 

 but bearing the same achievement of Arms. I have had it enlarged so 

 that the figures may appear more distinctly, and the reader may be able 

 to follow without difficulty what I am about to say. 



The heraldic blazon of this quarter is as follows: — Tierced 

 per pairie inversod, (or per clien-on) 1st, in c'lie!", '^ilc;?, two lior.s 

 passant gardant. Or, for Brunswick: 2nd (in chief) Or, semé of hearts
