Some send photographs of Inscriptions and armorial designs engraved on tombstones centuries old, county court old official documents, pleces of old silver plate with names and armorial designs engraved thereon and panelg of old carriage doors. Let it be remembered, however, that there is still extant and in full force in Eng- land a statute prescribing both fine and imprisonment for the use of a coat of arms by those not entitled, and many of the old English laws are still operative in the States of the Union, it would be wise for ambitious appli- cants not to attempt to ring in any spurious relics. The California list is conspicuously lacking in such prominent names as Stanford, Huntington, Crocker, Mills, Fair, Oelrichs and Mackay. This does not mean necessarily that these proud family names are -ot entitled to reg- jstry. They may have neglected to establish their rights.
