Argent, a mullet gules ; name, Haye. Some have confounded stars and mullets together, which mistake is easily rectified by allowing mullets to consist of five points only, and stars of six, eight, or more. Bara says, mullets differ from stars by being always pierced in the middle ; Gibbon says, all French authors take the mullet for the rowel of a spur, which molette signifies in their language; and they affiim it must be always pierced. Mr. Nisbet says, he ordinarily takes mullets for stars in... blazon, when they accompany celestial figures, as tlwse in the arms of Baillie ; but when they accom- pany military instruments, and other pieces of armour, for spur-rowels : as also when they have no such figures vrith them, but are alone in the shield, consist- ing only of fiv3 points, as in the arms of Sutherland, Douglas, &c.
