The French writers also occasionally speak of fractures en rave, orradish-like, and of fractures en bee de flute, the latter being so calledfrom a supposed resemblance to the mouth-piece of a clarionet; butwe scarcely see the necessity of multiplying the divisions and encum-bering our nomenclature by these fancied resemblances.
