Franks, Esq., has enabled the artist to represent in their restored form the fifteen tiles on the opposite page, though found in mutilated fragments. The original tiles measured 6 inches square. No. 1 represents the arms of France (three fleurs-de-lis) betwixt two birds. This tile has been printed as No. 21 in Mr. J. G. Nichols' Examples of Encaustic Tiles, from Warblington Church.

2. A two-headed eagle on a lozenge.

3. A two-headed eagle, charged on the breast with a shield, bearing a lion rampant. This, as well as No. 2, was probably a compliment to Richard, King of the Romans. It is No. 20 of Mr. Nichols', from Warblington.

4. A fine heraldic tile, from which one coat is missing. The three remaining are—

1. A lion rampant, probably for Fitz-Allen.

2. On a chief two mullets-St. John.
3. On a chief three roundles-Camoys.

The bases of these shields point to the corners of the tile. 11. A smaller tile than the rest, being 5 inches square. It has two coats repeated opposite to one auother

1. Three chevrons-Clare.

2. Three bars-though the ermine chief is not shown-probably Hussey.

This is No. 19 of Mr. Nichols' from Warblington.

There is also an imperfect fragment of one tile here given, which has the appearance of representing coats of arms; but the heraldry is indistinct, and the shields may be merely ornamental devices; similar instances occur in other medieval works of art. Besides the tiles above noticed as having been found at Warblington, in Hampshire, four others similar to those at Dureford occur at Buriton, in the same county. The ornamental patterns are peculiarly elaborate, too much

so perhaps to produce much effect as a pavement. They
