ab. 1560. Clas- Wood Anemone ( A. nemorosa ). sical master of the Roman school, the last official composer of the Papal Choir. He wrote numerous ma es, motets, madrigals, psalms, etc. Aneroid. Portable form of barometer, consisting of a hollow elastic metallic box, with a corrugated top partially exhausted of air. Any variation in the external pre ure produces a corresponding compre ion or dilatation of this box. A multiplying arrangement of levers causes an index to manifest, by its position on the face of a dial, the amount of this pre ure varia tion. Careful prelim in a ry graduation by com parison with a standard barometer enables the absolute pre ure corre sponding to each indica tion of the instrument to be recorded. It is not as accurate as the mercurial barometer. IMG:content-0176.jpg:[graphic][subsumed][subsumed][subsumed][subsumed][subsumed][ocr errors][subsumed][merged small][subsumed]
