the south wall of the nave. This is, Argent, a tiger passant, re- 
guardant, coward gules, gazing ata mirror azure handled or, for Sibbell 
of Kent. This very singular collocation of bearings only belongs 
to two families in English heraldry. Speaking of this coat Gwillim 
moralises thus :—‘‘Some report that those who rob the Tigre of 
her young, use a policy to detain their dam from following them, 
by casting sundry Looking-glasses in the way, whereat she useth 
long to gaze, whether it be to behold her own beauty, or because, 
when she seeth her shape in the glass, she thinketh she seeth one 
of her young ones, and so they escape the swiftness of her pursuit. 
And thus are many deceived of the substance whiles they are busied 
about the shadows.”’ 
It is not a little surprising that there are scarcely more than a 
dozen coats of arms of Bishops of Salisbury in their own cathedral. 
I venture to pass on to the Society a suggestion made to me by one 
of your members, that it would be most appropriate to fill the great 
window of the north-east transept, which is exactly opposite to 
the throne, with stained glass, containing a complete series of the 
arms of the Bishops of Sarum. 
This leads me to say one last word about the heraldic glass in 
the Cathedral. The only ancient specimens are in the windows 
at the west end of the nave. In the south aisle appears the 
complicated coat of Bishop Jewel—Or, on a chevron azure between 
three gilly flowers gules slipped vert, a maid’s head of the first, ducally 
crowned of the third, on a chief sable a hark’s lure stringed of the 
Jirst between two falcons argent. In the north aisle window is the 
quartered shield of Thomas ap Rice, who died in 1560. He bore 
quarterly (1) Ap Rice—Sabile, three roses argent; (2) Cotymore— 
Gules, a chevron between three stag’s heads, cabossed argent; (8) 
~ Meredith—Gu/es, a chevron ermines between three helmets argent; (4) 
— Foulkes—Gules, three boar’s heads erased in pale argent. At the 
top of the great west window are the arms of Henry VII. within 
the garter and ensigned with a royal crown, and at the bottom are 
the following shields :—Beginning at the south side: (1) Clare— 
Or, three chevronels gules; (2) Paly of 8 gules and or; doubtless 
epresenting the arms of Arragon (Or, four pallets gules) borne by
