Whenwe wish to cauterize flatwise and upon a large surface, we employthe nummulary {nummulaire) cautery, (e.) That which Percy hasdescribed under the name of the annular cautery is not used; butwe sometimes employ the bird-beaked, {bee d^oiseau—/,) and theharicot {g) cautery. All these cauteries, which are sometimes straight and sometimescurved, terminate in a rod which is furnished with a handle at thetime of being used. The tail of the cauteries, moreover, is so ar-ranged, that the same handle (A) may be applied to all.
