No. 58. — 1907.] JOAN GIDEON LOTEN, F.R.S.

namely, a scutcheon divided into two halves longitudinally, 

 in which in the right half on a golden field a green thistle- 

 branch forming two shoots [loten] — the arms of the Lotens ; 

 and the left half divided into quarters, the uppermost display- 

 ing a rampant black lion on a golden (?) field and underneath a 

 golden ship on a blue field — the arms of the van Beaumonts. 



Some days before the death of Mrs. Loten there died in 

 very early youth the only grandchild, also mentioned on the 

 said tombstone, as Albert Anthonie Cornells van der Brug- 

 ghen. We see from this that at that time Loten' s only child 

 was also staying in Colombo, perhaps also her husband,* 

 regarding whose identity van der Aa hazarded a guess, which 

 seems to have been incorrect ; since Mr. Grothe van Schellach 

 wrote to me concerning this wife as follows : — " Armandina f 

 Deliana Cornelia [the daughter of Loten], the date of whose 

 birth is unknown to me, J was married 19th July 1752, at 

 Batavia, to Dirk Willem van der Brugghen, born at Bergen 

 op Zoom, 4th February 1717, upper merchant and chief at 

 Soerabaia, whence he returned home in 1758. § He died at 

 Utrecht, 7th October 1770, she at Batavia, 15th May 1756. 

 They had two children." || 



Besides the above-named daughter, who was his second 

 child, Loten had by Anna Henriette van Beaumont two other 

 children ; the eldest was a daughter, born 16th October 1734, 

 and soon died, on 30th April 1735 ; the third, a son, died an 

 hour after birth. 



is more like a lion rampant ; while in plate 25 the lion, which in plate 

 16 is correctly shown as passant (not passant guardant — " leoparde " 

 — as Mr, de Vos has it), is assuming a rampant attitude. The form 

 of the ship also differs considerably in the two plates. 



* There is no proof of this. Mrs. van der Brugghen may have been 

 on a visit to her parents without her husband. 



•j* This is evidently a misprint or misreading for Arnoudina, which 

 was the name of Loten's mother. 



| As Loten's first child was born 16th October 1734 we may, I think, 

 safely place the birth of this second daughter in the latter part of 1735. 

 This would make her barely 17 years old at the time of her marriage — 

 about the same age at which her mother married Loten. 



§ In the same ship as Loten probably. 



|i Regarding these children see at end of Section III.
