A "Millet" must be assumed to be the modern Mullet fish. As depicted on heraldic quarterings of William IV Strode (1562–1637) on his monument in St Mary's Church, Plympton. Not "mullets" which in heraldic language are stars. Also shown sculpted on monument to Robert III Cary (d.1586) of Clovelly, Devon, who married Margaret Milliton, daughter of John Milliton and widow of John Giffard of Yeo in the parish of Alwington, North Devon. South wall of chancel, All Saints Church, Clovelly. Both images show two dorsal fins and two fins on the belly, characteristic of the mullet fish Mugil cephalus(see image File:Mugil cephalus.jpg). Image based on drawing of Mugil Cephalus (File:FMIB 51638 Striped Mullet, Mugil cephalus (L) Wood's Hole, Mass.jpeg) by Jordan, David Starr (1907) Fishes, New York City, NY: Henry Holt and Company |
