The remainder of the list of heraldic monsters can be very briefly dismissed. In many cases a good deal of research has failed to discover an instance of their use, and one is almost inclined to believe that they were invented by those mediæval writers of prolific imagination for their treatises, without ever having been borne or emblazoned upon helmet or shield. _The Allocamelus_ is supposed to have the head of an ass conjoined {231} to the body of a camel. I cannot call to mind any British instance of its use. _The Amphiptère_ is the term applied to a "winged serpent," a charge of but rare occurrence in either English or foreign heraldry. It is found in the arms of the French family of Potier, viz.: "Azure, a bendlet purpure between two amphiptères or," while they figure as supporters also in that family, and in those of the Ducs de Tresmes and De Gevres. _The Apres_ is an animal with the body similar to that of a bull, but with a bear's tail. It is seldom met with outside heraldic text-books. [Illustration: FIG. 438.--Enfield.] _The Amphisboena_ is usually described as a winged serpent (with two legs) having a head at each end of its body, but in the crest of Gwilt ["On a saltire or, interlaced by two amphisboenæ azure, langued gules, a rose of the last, barbed and seeded proper"] the creatures certainly do not answer to the foregoing description. They must be seen to be duly appreciated. _The Cockfish_ is a very unusual charge, but it is to be met with in the arms of the family of Geyss, in Bavaria, _i.e._: "Or, a cock sable, beaked of the first, crested and armed gules, its body ending in that of a fish curved upwards, proper." [Illustration: FIG. 439.--Opinicus.] _The Enfield_ (Fig. 438) is a purely fanciful animal, having the head of a fox, chest of a greyhound, talons of an eagle, body of a lion, and hind legs and tail of a wolf. It occurs as the crest of most Irish families of the name of Kelly. _The Bagwyn_ is an imaginary animal with the head of and much like the heraldic antelope, but with the body and tail of a horse, and the horns long and curved backwards. It is difficult to say what it is intended to represent, and I can give no instance in which it occurs. _The Musimon_ is a fabulous animal with the body and feet of a goat and the head of a ram, with four horns. It is supposed to be the hybrid between the ram and the goat, the four horns being the two straight ones of the goat and the two curled ones of the ram. Though no heraldic instance is known to me, one cannot definitely say such an animal never existed. Another name for it is the tityron.
