If more than two rows (heraldically termed tracks), Chequée. Fig. 78.

It may also be borne quaterly, Fig. 79, which would be blazoned, Arg.; a bordure quaterly, or and gules.

The Orle differs from the bordure, inasmuch as it does not extend to the extremity of the shield. Fig. 80.

The Tressure may be regarded as a diminutive of the orle. It is generally borne double, and fleury counter-fleury, as in the arms of Scotland: Or; a lion rampant, within a tressure fleurie counter-fleurie, gu. Fig. 81.

The Inescuteheon, or Shield of Pretence, is a small shield borne on the fess point. Fig. 82. See Marshalling.

The Lozenge is a diamond-shaped figure. Fig. 83.
