in the ancient music, an instrument of the wind-kind, resembling our flute or flageolet.

The principal wind-instruments of the ancients, were the tibia and the fistula. But how they were constituted, wherein they differed, or how they were played upon, does not appear. All we know is, that the fistula was at first made of reeds, and afterwards of other matters. Some had holes, some none; some again were single pipes; others a combination of several; witness the syringa of Pan.

surgery, a deep, narrow, and callous ulcer, generally arising from abscesses.

It differs from a sinus, in its being callous, the latter not. See Surgery.

FISTULARIA or TOBACCO-PIPE Fish; a genus of fishes, belonging to the order of abdominales. Of this genus Linnaeus reckons two species; but we have a description only of one, viz. the tabacaria. It is described by Mr Catesby, from the only one he ever saw. It was almost a foot in length; the fore-part from the nose to half-way the body of nearly equal bigness; from whence it grew tapering to the tail, which was forked, and from which grew a slender taper whip, four inches long, of the consistence of whalebone; the mouth narrow, from which to the eyes was almost three inches. The whole fish was of a brown colour. They are sometimes taken on the coasts of Jamaica.
