_Marcarnes._--In Guillim's _Display of Heraldry_ (6th edit., London, 1724),

sect. 2. chap. v. p. 32., occurs the following description of a coat of

arms: "_Marcarnes_, vaire, a pale, sable."

There is no reference to a Heralds' Visitation, or to the locality in which

resided the family bearing this name and coat. It is only mentioned as an

instance among many others of the pale in heraldry. I have searched many

heraldic books, as well as copies of Heralds' Visitations, but cannot find

the name elsewhere. Will any herald advise me how to proceed farther in

tracing it?
