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.

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. April 2000 MERIDIES Adrienne de Montjoye. Device correction.

June 2002 {AE}THELMEARC Alaxandair {O'} 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. ATLANTIA Ranulf of Waterford and Caitlyn O'Duirnin. Acceptance of transfer of badge for House Azami from Ysabeau Cameron and Laeghaire O Laverty.

The forms indicated that this was a transfer of household name and badge, but the LoAR failed to note the transfer of badge. 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 rau{dh}refr. Submitted under the name Laufey rau{dh}refr, that name was returned in the April 2002 LoAR. 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 The LoAR returned his name and device, saying that they had been withdrawn by the submitter. However, only his device had been withdrawn. Fint{a'}n mac Meic Con. Name correction from Fint{a'}n 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 Fint{a'}n 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.
