Stran 253 - aluminous clay, or similar well-decomposed residuary materials accumulated ; rarely, also, much carbonaceous shale. Arkoses and wackes, when metamorphosed later, took on such a similitude to igneous rocks as to be more or less unidentifiable. The formations of this period of volcanic dominance, with very subordinate clastic accompaniment, are regarded as constituting the
Stran 71 - amperes. (+ means upward electric currents; —means downward electric currents.) The average effect of electric currents for the region 45° N. to 45° S. is on the east-west component of the earth's magnetic force, o.oo1 CGS unit, or about one-fiftieth of the average value of this component. The average effect on the horizontal intensity is about one one-thousandth
Stran 238 - Carbon dioxide would be held some appreciable time before oxygen, and still longer before nitrogen, and all these a notable time before the vapor of water. The inference is that the initial atmosphere was very rich in carbon dioxide, for an abundant supply was correlated with a superior power of retention. The amount of oxygen
Stran 120 - secured information and does in fact well satisfy the conditions requisite for a successful boring. No effort was made to choose a precise spot, but the natural conditions are there favorable over so large an area that the selection of a particular spot can be made in view of local economic conditions.

Stran 165 - 5 RELATIVE HUMIDITY AT MOUNT WILSON. The marked dryness of the atmosphere on Mount Wilson during the summer months may be best appreciated by comparing these results with those obtained by the Weather Bureau at Washington during the corresponding period. RELATIVE HUMIDITY AT WASHINGTON.
Stran 213 - is not, as a rule, characterized by the simplicity attributed to the contracting mass in the nebular hypothesis. This is a question which has already been taken up by Professor Chamberlin and Mr.
Stran 240 - That heat arising from condensation solely would reach the melting temperature of rock in a body one-twentieth of the earth's mass seems more or less doubtful, but in a body one-tenth of the earth's mass the required conditions would probably be reached. The requisite data are too imperfect for a definite decision of this point at present. If the pits of the moon
Stran 147 - No. 11. By Simon Newcomb. Octavo, 34 pages. The Influence of Grenville on Pitt's Foreign Policy, 1787-1798. Publication No. 13. By ED Adams. Octavo, 79 pages. Fecundation in Plants. Publication No. 15. By DM Mottier. Octavo, 187 pp. Guide to the Archives of the Government at Washington. Publication No. 14. Octavo, 250 pages.
Stran 273 - results are sure to be obtained in even a partial circuit, and therefore there is no danger of waste of funds through failure. My own estimate of the time required to cover the field in the manner proposed is three years. Yours truly, OH TITTMANN. GEOLOGICAL RESEARCH IN EASTERN ASIA. BY BAILEY
