the end being cut square off ; each edge is very sharp for a 
few inches from the end of the blade. It is used with a 
sweeping blow around the adversary's guard, so as to cut 
the head or face with the sharpened comer. The schlager 
has a heavy basket-hilt completely protecting the hand. 
A heavy gauntlet of leather covers the arm to the elbow. 
The usual guard is by holding the blade nearly vertical, 
pommel uppermost, the hand just above the level of the 
eyes.

to the Protophyta, or lowest di- 
vision of the vegetable king- 
dom. It is a somewhat heterogene- 
ous group, comprising the greater 
number of the forms of vegetable life 
which are unicellular, which display 
no true process of sexual reproduction, 
and which contain chlorophyl. The 
group (which future research may dis- 
tribute otherwise) embraces the classes

schizorhinal (skiz-o-ri'nal), a. [< Gr. 
cleave, .split, + pif 
(piv-), the nose, + -al.] 
In ornith., having each 
nasal bone deeply cleft 
or forked: opposed to 
holorhinal. The term de- 
notes the condition of the 
nasal bone on each side(right 
and left), and not the sepa- 
rateness of the two nasal 
bones, which it has been 
misunderstood to mean. By 
a further mistake, it has been 
made to mean a slit-like 
character of the external 
nostrils, with which it has 
nothing to do. 
In the Columbidse, and in 
a great many wading and 
swimming birds, whose pal- 
ates are cleft (schizogna- 
thous), the nasal bones are 
schizorhinal: that is, cleft to 
or beyond the ends of the 
premaxillaries, such fission 
leaving the external de- 
scending process very dis- 
tinct from the other, almost 
like a separate bone. Pi- 
geons, gulls, plovers, cranes, auks, and other birds are thus 
split-nosed.

is bright blue, the fore back is rich yellow, the rest 
lustrous crimson ; the breastplate is mostly glittering 
green, and other parts of the plumage are of varied and 
scarcely less burnished hues. The female is somewhat 
smaller, and in plumage unlike the male, as usual in this 
family. The species has several technical synonyms. Pro- 
fessor Schlegel called it Paradisea calm, but not till af- 
ter Mr. Cassin of Philadelphia had dedicated it to Dr. T. 
B. Wilson of that city. Mr. Elliot, the monographer of 
the Paradiseidse, has it Diphyllodes respublica, after a mis- 
taken identification made by Dr. Sclater of a bird very in- 
adequately characterized by Prince Bonaparte, which be-

wood tree with alternate and abruptly pinnate leaves, 
usually of three pairs of leaflets, and with small long-pedi- 
celled flowers in slender racemes. Its timber is very 
strong, solid, and durable. In India and Ceylon it is 
valued as one of the trees frequented by the lac-insect (see
