Bissextile; a year containing 366 days; every fourth year
which leaps over a day more than a common year, giving to
February twenty-nine days. See {Bissextile}.
Note: Every year whose number is divisible by four without a
remainder is a leap year, excepting the full centuries,
which, to be leap years, must be divisible by 400
without a remainder. If not so divisible they are
common years. 1900, therefore, is not a leap year.
