flutings

A song sparrow was singing out by the road, and the thin, sweet flutings of a Peabody came from the pasture.

The flutings are cut in the stone, but not through: the tallest stands alone, and leans to the south.

Slender waterfalls glide down their precipitous fronts, like silver threads, guided by the basalt flutings.

A similar bar is applied beneath the rollers, to keep the flutings clean.

They are forty-eight feet in height and nearly five feet in diameter, while their flutings are nine inches across.
