[Illustration: No. 171.--Rampant.] [Illustration: No. 172.--Rampant Guardant.] [Illustration: No. 173.--Passant.] [Illustration: No. 174.--Passant Guardant.] [Illustration: No. 175.--Statant.] [Illustration: No. 176.--Statant Guardant.] _Statant_: standing, his four paws on the ground, and looking before him, No. 175. _Statant Guardant_: as before, but looking out from the Shield, No. 176: in this example the Lion has his tail extended, but this would be specified in the blazon, as it is an unusual position. In like manner, if the tail of a Lion in any other attitude be extended, there must be a statement to that effect. [Illustration: No. 177.--Couchant.] [Illustration: No. 178.--Sejant.] [Illustration: No. 179.--Dormant.] _Sejant_: sitting down with his head elevated, No. 178. If he looks out from the Shield, the word _Guardant_ is to be added. A Scottish Lion sejant usually has his fore paws raised in the air, and in English terms of blazon would be described as “_Sejant erect_” or “_Sejant rampant_.” _Couchant_: is at rest, the fore legs stretched on the ground, as No. 177. _Dormant_: asleep, head resting on fore paws, No. 179. _Salient_: in the act of springing, the hind paws on the ground, both the fore paws elevated, No. 180. [Illustration: No. 180.--Salient.] [Illustration: No. 181.--Double-queued.] [Illustration: No. 182.--Coward.] _Queue fourchée_: having a forked tail. _Double-queued_: two tails, as No. 181, which is a _lion rampant double-queued_. _Coward: passant reguardant_, his tail between his legs, No. 182. Two Lions rampant, when face to face, are _Counter rampant_, or _Combatant_: when back to back, they are _Addorsed_: when passant or salient in contrary directions, they are _Counter passant_ or _Counter salient_. Lions, whatever their tincture, except it be red, or they are charged on a field of that tincture, are _armed and langued gules_; but _azure_ in the case of either of these exceptions, unless the contrary be specified in the blazon. When several Lions appear in one composition, or when they are drawn to a comparatively very small scale, they are sometimes blazoned as “_Lioncels_.” This term “_Lioncel_,” it must be added, when used alone, denotes a _small Lion rampant_. [Illustration: No. 183.--Lion’s Head.] [Illustration: No. 184.--Lion’s Face.] [Illustration: No. 185.--Lion’s Jambe.] A Lion’s _head_ is a Charge: it may be _erased_, as in No. 183; or cut off smooth, when it is _couped_. A Lion’s _face_ also is a Charge, No. 184; so is his _jambe_ or _paw_, No. 185. A _demi-lion rampant_ is the upper half of his body and the extremity of his tufted tail, as in No. 186. [Illustration: No. 186.--Demi-Lion Rampant.] [Illustration: No. 187.--England.] The LIONS OF ENGLAND are _golden Lions leopardé_, three in number, placed one above the other on a red Shield. They are blazoned--_Gu., three Lions pass. guard., in pale, or_, No. 187.
