The Arms are blazoned in the "Armorial General de la France," thus, " AuMES; or, a I'aigle eployee de sable, charge sur Testomac d'un ecusson d'azur, a trois lances d'or, posces en pal, pointes en haut." In English, Akms: Or, an eagle wings displayed, sable, charged on the breast with a shield azure, three tilting lances or, in i)ale, i)oints ujjward.

On becoming a British subject, Ktienne (or Stephen) de Lancy modified these arms which had originated before the use of crests in heraldry, to make them more like those of English families, most of which have crests ; and though not registered in the English College of Arms, they appear as so moditied in most English heraldic works, and have since been so borne in America, notably on the oHicial seal of his son James de Lancey, as Lt. Governor and Captain General of New York. They are thus blazoned Ar.ms ; Azure, a tilting lance proper, point upward with a pennon argent bearing a cross gules fringed and floating to the right, dcbruised of a fess, or. CuKST ; a sinister arm in armor embowed, the hand gnispinga tilting lance, pennon floating, both proper. Motto ; Certum voto pete finem.
