A town in the Province of Perugia, Italy, situated on an abrupt hill near the Tiber, 23 miles simth of Perugia (Map: Italy, G 5).

The Romanesque cathedral has a Inige tower and frescoes by Lo Spagna. The Renaissance Church of Santa Maria della Consolazione, a massive structure surmounted by three domes, is simple but wonderfully impressive. The splendid Gothic Palazzo Comunale contains a small picture gal- lery. Todi, the LTmbrian Tuder, was the scene of the decisive victory of Narses over the Goths in 552. Population (commune), in 1901, 16,561. TOD'MORDEN, locally ta'mor-den. A mar- ket-town in Lancashire, England, on the border of Yorkshire, miles north-northeast of Roch- dale (Map: England, D 3). Cotton manufac- tures form the staple industry; coal abounds in the neighborhood, and there are foimdries and machine works. It owns gas and water-works, maintains a public library, and supports techni- cal instruction. Population, in 1901, 25,420. TODY (from Lat. todus, sort of small bird). Any of several species of small West Indian birds forming the family Todida and related to the kingfishers, bee-eaters, and motniots (qq.v.). They are less than three inches long with a short tail and long bill. The plumage is very gor- geous, grass-green, carmine-red, and white. They breed in holes in banks and lay white eggs. The best known species is the conunon green tody [Todus viridis) of Jamaica, which is a familiar and useful little bird, often called 'robin red- breast' by the English residents. The name 'tody' is incorrectly applied to rollers, barbets, and other brilliantly colored tropical birds, even in the East Indies. See Plate of Wrens, Warblers, etc. TOGA (Lat., mantle). The principal outer garment of the Roman citizen, yorn over a shirt [tunica). For ordinary citizens the toga was pure white in color [toga, virilis, toga pura) ; boys, and most of the magistrates, wore togas with an attached border of crimson ( toga prce- texta) . On certain occasions of especial fes- tivity magistrates appeared in .a toga entirely of crimson embroidered with gold (toga picta), worn over a tunica of similar character [ttmica palmata). Candidates for pulilic office presented themselves in togas freshly laundered and arti- ficially whitened (candida, shining). On the other hand, persons in mourning for any reason wore carelessly arranged and soiled togas (sor- dida), or even those of an artificially darkened color [pulla). The material of the toga was wool, closely woven, and fulled, with a combed nap, making it fat least in late Republican and early Imperial days) cumbrous, expensive, and (except in winter") too heavy a garment. The shape of the toga, like its size, the elaboration of its folds, and the way it was worn, difl"ered at different periods. It was less voluminous in earlier days. By the beginning of the Empire it must have been fully twice as long as the wearer was tall, and of an elliptical shape. It
