Chambers's encyclopædia; a dictionary of universal knowledge . f the Christian faith. Besides its plainform, the cross was varied in numerous wa^s, mostof these varieties being, however, rather commoncharges than ordinaries. Of the 39 lesser crossesmentioned by Guillim, and 109 by Edmonson, a fewof the most frequently occurring are the following :the Cross moline (fig. 10), with the ends turnedround both ways ; the Cross fleuru (fig. 11), of whicheach limb terminates in a fleur-de-lis ; the Crosspatonee (fig. IJ), each limb of which has thiee points;the Cross p>otent (fig. 13), crutch-shaped at the ends ;the Cross pattee (fig. 14), small in the centre, butwidening towards the ends; and the Cross crosslet(fig. 15), ciossed at the ends.

The Quarter, consisting of the upper right-hand fourth part of the shield cut off by a horizontaland a perj^endiciUar line. Its diminutive is theCanton (fig. 19).
