13 psl. - God, That God, which ever lives and loves, One God, one law, one element, And one far-off divine event, To which the whole creation moves.
406 psl. - Deductions of this kind, such as that made by Cuvier in the famous case of the fossil opossum of Montmartre, have often been verified, and are well calculated to impress the vulgar imagination ; so that they have taken rank as the triumphs of the anatomist. But it should carefully be borne in mind, that, like all merely empirical laws, which rest upon a comparatively narrow observational basis, the reasoning from them may at any time break down.
33 psl. - President, in the chair. The following gentlemen were elected Fellows of the Society : — Mr.
100 psl. - October 1869; and his loss will be much felt by all naturalists who have benefited by his long, laborious, and conscientious investigation of the invertebrate fauna of the Norwegian seas. He was born on the 30th of August 1805, at Bergen, where his father was a shipowner. After finishing his academical studies at Christiania, and evincing at an early age his predilection for natural science, he entered into priest's orders, and in 1830 became pastor at Kinn, in the diocese of Bergen. Ten years afterwards...
238 psl. - On the south face of this hill, at the base of a nearly vertical cliff of trap, is a natural vault, partly filled with gravel and sand, cemented by a recent infiltration of carbonate of lime. The sides and roof of the vault are highly polished, and covered with striae, irregularly arranged with respect to the whole surface, but in parallel groups over limited extents. These striae, Dr Buckland says, cannot be referred to the action of pebbles moved by water...
101 psl. - More complete or more valuable zoological researches than those of Sars have rarely been contributed to the science of Natural History, and the success with which he has prosecuted investigations claiming not only a high systematic value, but also a deep physiological import, is a wonderful evidence of the abundance of intellectual resources which genius can...
193 psl. - ... Exhibition at London in 1862. No information was furnished as to the spring ; it arises, no doubt, in carboniferous rocks, in which formation salt springs are known to exist in several parts of this and other countries. Nothing, however, has yet been done in their examination, and the River Philip spring is the only one, so far as I know, that has been turned to any account. 4. tviiiii«»
252 psl. - ... that is, upon the results which flow from the contraction of the planet and from the reaction of the heated interior upon the surface. But a block of marble is not a statue, nor would a part of the earth's crust heaved up into land form at once such a surface of ridge, and valley, and nicely adjusted water system as any country of which we know anything on the face of the globe. In each case it is a process of sculpture, and the result varies not only with the tools but with the materials on...
271 psl. - MD, FRS, Keeper of the Natural History collections in the Museum of Science and Art, Edinburgh, Scotland.
397 psl. - Analysis of a Lepidodendroid Plant from the Shale of West Calder; with Remarks on the Formation of Coal.
