THE ARMS OF COLONIAL AND MISSIONARY

BISHOPRICS.

I have sought in vain for a record of the arms assigned to the colonial and missionary bishoprics -now numbering no less than seventy-that have sprung from the mother Church of England. Of these I have identified, with more or less accuracy, informasome fifty-nine, being indebted for my tion thus far to the courtesy of Mr. Wyon, the engraver; to Burke's Peerage in the few instances in which the arms are given; and to the Clergyman's Almanac, where the engraver's intentions in regard to colours are often enigmatical. I append the roll of the sees with their respective arms so far as ascertained, and trust, by the kindly aid of your correspondents, to see a corrected and perfected list put on record in your columns.
