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] |
