Página 390 - Just previous to this time, in the Report of the Regents of the University of New York, for 1859, Professor Hall had described and figured by the name of Olenus two species of trilobites from the slates of Georgia, Vermont, which Emmons had wrongly referred to the genus Paradoxides. They were at once recognized by Barrande, who called attention to their primordial character, and thus...

In truth, Mr. Hall observes, the carboniferous limestone is one of the most extensive marine formations of the continent, and is characterized over a much greater area by its marine fauna than by its terrestrial vegetation. " The accumulations of the coal period were the last that gave form and contour to the eastern side of our continent, from the Gulf of St. Lawrence to the Gulf of Mexico ; and as we have shown that the great sedimentary deposits of successive...

Página 277 - On further scrutiny, with the aid of an opera-glass, two sharply cut and very narrow dark channels, bounding the principal ray, could be traced for ten or fifteen degrees from the nucleus ; while outside of them, on either side, were two additional faint rays. The whole issue of nebulous matter, from the nucleus far into the tail, was curiously grooved and striated. It was noticed that both the principal ray and the dark channels penetrated within the outline of the curved tail, the latter being...

Página 88 - Sterry Hunt thus expresses himself: — ' We regard the whole Quebec group, with its underlying primordial shales, as the greatly developed representative of the Potsdam and Calciferous groups (with part of that of Chazy), and the true base of the Silurian system.' ' The Quebec group with its underlying shales,' this author adds (and he expresses the opinion of Sir W.

A great revolution in the ideas of many an old geologist, including myself, has thus been effected. Strengthened and confirmed as my view has been by the concordant testimony of Ramsay,...

This process the author observes appears to furnish a satisfactory explanation of the difference of slope on the two sides of the Appalachian anticlinals, where the dips on one side are uniformly steeper than on the other, p. 71. An important question here arises, which is this; — while admitting with Lyell and...
