No sooner was this done than the mischievous whiff of sea air which entered the room began to trifle and coquet with the perdulous half sheet pinned in front of the desk, causing thereby an unwonted little pattering crepitation.

By reason of the situation of the parts within the hoof we are unable to detect crepitation, and the resulting lameness is perhapsin fact, nearly always isneglected until such time as any heat or swelling caused by the injury has disappeared, in which case we are denied what evidence we might have obtained from that.

On manipulating the pastern slight crepitation could be discovered, and there was abnormal mobility in the corono-pedal articulation.

Press some dry starch powder between the thumb and forefinger, and note the peculiar crepitation.

As the hunter moves along, I should have told you, he rubs two pieces of dry hard sticks gently up and down his thigh with one hand, producing a peculiar crepitation, a crackling sound, not sufficient to startle the birds into flight, but alarming them enough to make them get out of the way of the 'old cow.'
