The engrailed ordinary (in this case, the "scalloped" edges of the saltire) in the Stodart System of cadency (a system for making changes to arms based on heraldic seniority/birth order), is the mark of a second son. Having said that, I think in this case Chas is right, as most chiefly arms significantly predate the invention of the Stodart system.
