   “still keeping time to the music like Harlequin in a pantomime, he thrust a letter into our hero′s hand, and continued his saltation without pause or intermission.”

2. isim The act of jumping, or hopping, using all legs simultaneously (although the contribution to motion is typically made chiefly by the hind legs).
3. isim Beating or palpitation.

   “the saltation of the great artery”

4. isim A sudden change from one generation to the next; a mutation.
5. isim Any abrupt transition.
6. isim The transport of loose particles by a fluid (such as wind or flowing water).
