Стр. 516 - Burmese musical instrument, consisting of twenty-three flattish pieces of wood, from ten to fifteen inches in length, and about an inch and a half in width : these bars are strung together so as to yield dull and subdued musical notes when struck with a cork hammer ; and their sizes are so adjusted as to furnish tones forming about three octaves in the diatonic scale.
Стр. 210 - ... according to the state of the weather as to heat, dryness, &c. 16th.

Стр. 193 - The experiment with the bladder was applied to explain the occasional presence and absence of " bruit de soufflet" in aneurisms, the sound being present in an aneurism when, from any circumstance connected with it, its parietes can become at all flaccid in the intervals of the heart's contractions, — not being heard if the parietes remain tensely applied to their contained fluid. Dr. Corrigan has in some experiments substituted a gum-elastic tube for the portion of gut.
