For the August 2002 meetings, printed November 14, 2002

To all the College of Arms and all others who may read this missive, from François Laurel, Zenobia Wreath, Mari Pelican, and Margaret Cornelian, health and good friendship.
Herein are corrections to various Letters of Acceptances and Returns and the Armorial:
August 1979

Ealasaid nic Phearsoinn. Device correction. Per pale argent and vert, a mortar and pestle, the mortar charged with a unicorn passant, all counterchanged. 
The original blazon omitted the posture of the unicorn.

ANSTEORRA
Shadowlands, Shire of the. Guild name Sterregazerers Gylde of the Shire of the Shadowlands. 
The LoAR read "*Shadowlands, Shire of the. (badge for the Sterregazerers Gylde of the Shire of the Shadowlands). Sable, a comet bendwise sinister Or between in bend a mullet of nine points and an increscent argent." The guild name should have been explicitly registered and it was not.
April 1984

EAST
Mountain Confederation. Badge correction. Per fess embattled azure and Or, a tyger sejant erect Or and a triple-peaked mountain issuant from base azure. 
The original blazon omitted the tincture of the tyger.
April 1990

EAST
Æthelmearc, Kingdom of. Order name Order of the Keystone. 
The original LoAR failed to note the registration of the order name at the time the badge for the order was registered.
June 1992

ANSTEORRA
Dimitrii Sviatoslav Varulovich Polynov. Device correction. Gules, a tau cross within an orle of mascles Or. 
In the original blazon, it was unclear whether the mascles were charges on an orle or just arranged in orle.
May 1998

EAST
Catriona of Downpatrick. Device correction. Sable, two needles in saltire Or between four double roses Or and gules. 
In the original blazon, the tincture of the needles was unclear.
February 1999

MIDDLE
Kenric Bjarnarson. Badge correction. (Fieldless) On a lozenge ployé vert two pheons in pale conjoined at the base throughout Or. 
The original blazon omitted the tincture of the lozenge.
August 1999

CAID
Judwiga Czarna Pika ze Smocza Jamy. Conversion of device to badge. Or, a heart per pale indented sable and gules within a bordure vert. 
When the submitter registered a new device in August 1999, the LoAR did not indicate the disposition of her previous device, shown here. The previous device has been maintained in the Ordinary and Armorial as a second device. This must be corrected, since the Administrative Handbook section II.D.1 only allows any individual submitter to have one device. The submitter's paperwork shows that she had intended the previous device to be maintained as a badge.
November 1999

ATLANTIA
Atlantia, Kingdom of. Ensign. Per pale argent and azure, a fess wavy cotised counterchanged. 
The LoAR failed to note that this badge was for the ensign of Atlantia.

The word "contourny" was misspelled in the original blazon.

The original blazon omitted the tincture of the hawk.

June 2002

ÆTHELMEARC
Alaxandair Ó Conchobhair. Name correction from Alaxandair O Conchobhair. 
In registering his badge, the LoAR misspelled his name as Alaxandair O Conchobhair. The above is the registered spelling.
Geoffrey de Montgomeri. Name correction from Geoffrey de Montgomery. 
The name was listed on the LoI and LoAR as Geoffrey de Montgomery, but both the forms and the documentation show the spelling as Geoffrey de Montgomeri.

Ysabeau Cameron and Laeghaire O Laverty. Transfer of badge for House Azami to Ranulf of Waterford and Caitlyn O'Duirnin. Argent, in pall inverted three thistles, slipped and leaved, conjoined at the slips, all within a bordure sable. 
The forms indicated that this was a transfer of household name and badge, but the LoAR failed to note the transfer of badge.
LOCHAC
Ruth of Innilgard. Holding name correction from Laufey rauðrefr.

July 2002

ATENVELDT
Cosimo Orsini. Name. 
The LoAR returned his name and device, saying that they had been withdrawn by the submitter. However, only his device had been withdrawn.
Fintán mac Meic Con. Name correction from Fintán Mac Con and commentary. 
Pelican changed the name as reflected in the commentary below, but the name change was not recorded on the LoAR:
Submitted as Fintán Mac Con, the submitter requested authenticity for Irish. Mac Con is a Gaelic masculine given name. As Irish Gaelic did not use either unmarked patronymics in period, or double given names,  this name is not registerable in the submitted form. The early form of a patronymic byname based on Mac Con would be mac Meic Con. We have changed the name to a consistently early form to meet the submitter's request for authenticity.
