of Muriel, the widow of Malis seneschal of Stratherne (appended to No. 16 of Appendix to Preface) gives a shield of the two cheverons, supported by a man's arm, on whose fist a falcon is perched. It is represented imperfectly at the end of the Preface to the Register of the Bishopric of Moray. But one seal is preserved of higher antiquity, and of much interest to the herald and the genealogist. It is the seal of Earl Gilbert, appended to the charter of Trinity Gask, in the charter-chest of the Duke of Athol, (printed in the Appendix to the Preface, No. 5) which gives on the obverse a mounted knight with drawn sword, the horse galloping, a housing very short and fitting to the horse's body, ornamented with points below-no coat armour or bearing on the shield; the circumscription mostly gone, but the word COMITIS still legible. On the reverse is a small counterseal, a shield of arms, with the legend APPENDIX. Willelmus Rex dat Comiti Gilberto de Stratherne Kinbethack. Orig. in archivis Ducatus de Athol. 1 W. đi gĩa Rex.
