COLIC, in medicine, a severe pain in the 
lower venter, so called, because the disor- 
der was formerly supposed to be seated in 
the colon. 
COLISEUM, or Colisasum, in ancient 
architecture, an oval amphitheatre at Rome, 
built by Vespasian, wherein were statues 
set up, representing all the provinces of 
the empire : in the middle of which stood 
that of Rome, holding a golden apple in 
her hand. 
COLIUS, the coly, in natural history, a 
genus of birds of the order Passeres. Ge- 
neric character ; bill convex above, straight 
under, short and thick ; the upper mandi- 
ble cuiwed downwards ; nostrils small, 
placed at the base and nearly hidden by 
the feathers; tongue jagged at the tip; 
tail long and wedged ; toes divided through- 
out. Tliere are four species, three of which 
are found in Africa, and the fourth in the 
Philippine island.?. But little is know'n of 
their manners and habits. 
COLLAR, in Roman antiquity, a sort 
of chain put generally round the neck of 
slaves that had ran away, after they were 
taken, with an in,scription round it, intimat- 
ing their being deserters, and requiring 
tlleir being restored to their proper owners, 
&C; 
CoEtAR, in a more modern sense, an or- 
nament consisting of a chain of gold, en- 
amelled, frequently set with cyphers or 
other devices, with the badge of the order 
hanging at the bottom, wore by the knights 
of several military orders over their shoul- 
ders, on the mantle, and its figure drawn 
round their armories. 
Thus, the collar of the order of the gar- 
ter, consists of S S, with roses enamelled 
red, with a garter enamelled blue, and the 
George at the bottom. 
COLLATERAL, in genealogy, those re- 
lations which proceed from the same stock, 
but not in the same line of ascendants or 
descendants, but being, as it were, aside of 
each other. Thus uncles, aunts, nephews, 
nieces, and cousins, are collaterals, or in 
the same collateral line : those in a higher 
degree, and nearer the common root, re- 
present a kind of paternity with regard to 
those more remote. 
Collateral, in a legal sense, is taken 
for any thing that hangeth by the side of 
another, whereto it relates ; as a collateral 
assurance is that instrument which is made 
over and above the deed itself, for the per- 
formance of covenants, between man and 
man ; thus called as being external, and 
without the nature and essence of the cove- 
nant. 
COLLATION, in the common law, the 
giving or bestowing of a benefice on a 
clergyman by a bishop, who has it in his 
own gift, or patronage. This differs from 
presentation, in that the latter is properly 
the act of a patron, offering the clerk to the 
bishop, to be instituted into a benefice, 
whereas the former is the act of the bishop 
himself. The collator can never confer a 
benefice on himself. Anciently, the right 
of presentation to all churches was in the 
bishop ; and now, if the patron neglects to 
present to the church, his right returns to 
the bishop by collation. , If the bishop neg- 
lects to exercise his right of collation in six 
months, the archbishop may confer. If he 
neglect it for other six months, it falls to the 
crow'n. 
COLLECTOR, in electricity, is a small 
appendage to the prime conductor of the 
electrical machine, generally consisting of 
pointed wires, affixed to that end of the 
prime conductor which stands contiguous 
to the glass globe, or cylinder, or other elec- 
tric of the machine. Its office is to receive 
the electricity, whether po.sitive or nega- 
tive, from the excited electric, much more 
readily than the blunt end of the prime 
conductor would be able to receive it with- 
out that appendage.
