      Of or pertaining to Auer von Welsbach or the incandescent gas
      burner invented by him.
  
      {Welsbach burner}, a burner in which the combustion of a
            mixture of air and gas or vapor is employed to heat to
            incandescence a mantle composed of thoria and ceria. The
            mantle is made by soaking a [bd]stocking[b8] in a solution
            of nitrates of thorium and cerium (approx. 99 : 1),
            drying, and, for use, igniting to burn the thread and
            convert the nitrates into oxides, which remain as a
            fragile ash. The light far exceeds that obtained from the
            same amount of gas with the ordinary fishtail burner, but
            has a slight greenish hue.

      Note: The existing whales are divided into two groups: the
               toothed whales ({Odontocete}), including those that
               have teeth, as the cachalot, or sperm whale (see {Sperm

               teeth, but have plates of baleen hanging from the upper
               jaw, as the right whales. The most important species of
