PORCATED

a.[L. porca, a ridge. ] Ridged; formed in ridges.

 

PORCELAIN

n.[L. portulaca. ] 1. The finest species of earthen ware, originally manufactured in China and Japan, but now made in several European countries. All earthen wares which are white and semi-transparent, are called porcelains, but they differ much in their fineness and beauty. The porcelain of China is said to be made of two species of earth, the petuntse, which is fusible, and the kaolin, which is not fusible, or not with the degree of heat which fuses the petuntse, and that in porcelain the substances are only semi-vitrified, or one substance only is vitrified, the other not. Hence it is concluded that porcelain is an intermediate substance between earth and glass. Hence the second degree of fusibility, of which emollescence is the first, is called by Kirwan the porcelain state.
2. The plant called purslain, which see.

 

PORCELLANEOUS

a.[from porcelain. ] Pertaining to or resembling porcelain; as porcellaneous shells.

 

PORCELLANITE

n.A silicious mineral, a species of jasper, of various colors. It seems to be formed accidentally in coal mines which have indurated and semi-vitrified beds of coal-shale or slate-clay. It is sometimes marked with vegetable impressions of a brick red color.

 

PORCH

n.[L. porticus, from porta, a gate, entrance or passage, or from portus, a shelter. ] 1. In architecture, a kind of vestibule supported by columns at the entrance of temples, halls, churches or other buildings.
2. A portico; a covered walk.
3. By way of distinction, the porch, was a public portico in Athens, where Zeno, the philosopher, taught his disciples. It was called the painted porch, from the pictures of Polygnotus and other eminent painters, with which it was adorned. Hence, the Porch is equivalent to the school of the Stoics.

 

PORCINE

a.[L. porcinus, from porcus. See Pork. ] Pertaining to swine; as the porcine species of animals.

 

PORCUPINE

n.[L. porcus; spina, a spine or thorn. ] In zoology, a quadruped of the genus Hystrix. The crested porcupine has a body about two feet in length, four toes on each of the fore feet, and five on each of the hind feet, a crested head, a short tail, and the upper lip divided like that of the hare. The body is covered with prickles which are very sharp, and some of them nine or ten inches long; these he can erect at pleasure. When attacked, he rolls his body into a round form, in which position the prickles are presented in every direction to the enemy. This species is a native of Africa and Asia.

 

PORCUPINE-FISH

n.A fish which is covered with spines or prickles. It is of the diodon kind, and about fourteen inches in length.
