*The first proposal was by Mr. Bloijs van Treslong, who proposed a crowned shield with the Salak mountain. As supporters two heraldic seal lions. As a motto simply the name Buitenzorg. | |||
*The second proposal by the same person was a quartered shield showing in the frst a heraldic sea lion, in the second the Salak mountain, in the third a stone in Batutulis and in the fourth a lion.

*The fourth by Mr. Fuchter, two royal crowns in chief, the sea lion in the center and another crown in base. | |||
