. (Instrumental Music and Works on Music) of a _Catalogue of MS. Music in the British Museum_ (London, 1908-1909). The Appendix contains a list of typical musical instruments represented in illuminated MSS., or described in other MSS. in the British Museum, with a brief description and full references.

[17] Compare Randle Holme's _double curtail_ with the dolcian in C, pl. vi. H. of Capt. C. R. Day's catalogue, and with a dolcian or single curtail by J. C. Denner in Paul de Wit's _Katalog des Musikhistorischen Museums von Paul de Wit_ (Leipzig, 1903), p. 127, No. 380, and illust. p. 121 (Collection now transferred to Cologne). Consult also Mersenne, _op. cit_., and Michael Praetorius, _Syntagma Musicum_ (Wolfenbüttel, 1618), both of whom describe and figure these forms of early bassoons.

[18] _Op. cit_. vol. vii. p. 38.
