As modern melody is built upon harmony, derived from the harmonics of a fundamental-bafe, we have no inftru- irtents with quarter«tones, or which can furnifh a bafe to an enharmonic melody, if we had the power of framing and executing it with the voice or violin. We have, therefore, only two genera in our mufic, with all our refinements in melody of nominal enharmonic (harps, diefes, double flats, and fharps, &c. : which two genera, the diatonic, confift- ing of five tones and two femi-tones in the octave, fuch as the key of C natural fupplies upon keyed inftruments ; and the chromatic, confiding entirely of femi-tones, twelve in number, fuch as moving from any given note to its oftave by femi-tones will furnifh. See Tone, Semi-tone, and Enharmonic Sharps or Dieses. Enharmonic Diefis, is an interval whofe ratio is rr§' — 21 £+ 2 m. See Enharmonic Diesis. Enharmonic Degree of Arifloxenus, otherwife his diefis quadrantalis, was a quarter of the major tone, or 26 S -f if+Jlm. Enharmonic Degree of Euclid, otherwife his diefis quadrantalis, was three-thirtieths of a minor fourth, or 254-S + \i + 2f m. Enharmonic Ditone of Euclid, was twenty-four thir- tieths of a minor fourth, or 203A E + 4 f + 17f m. Enharmonic Quarter of a tone, is the fame with enhar- monic diefis, above. ENHYDRI, in Chemiflry, are fmall nodules of chalce- dony, each containing a drop of water, which are found in the porous trap of the picentine. They are often polifhed and fet in rings, rather as an objeft of curiofity than of much beauty ; and after a time the water ufually di
