Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Natural History of Waters, Earths, Stones, Fossils, and Minerals, Vol. 5: With Their Virtues, Properties and Medicinal Uses; To Which Is Added, the Method in Which Linnaeus Has Treated These Subjects In this county we meet with but two Mineral waters, one at Sunning-hill in Windsor-Forest, which i, of the same nature as the Tunbridge waters; and the other at Comner, or Cumner, three miles west of Oxford. This last waster is always of a whitish colour, especially in the summer time when the well is low; the reason of which appearance is said to be owing to its proceeding from line-stone. Oil of Tartar being dropt therein, causes it to let fall a white sediment; and Spirit of Hartshorn turns it to a pearl-colour; but with the Solution of Silver it turns to a purplish pearl colour, and with Syrup of Violets, green. A gallon of this water will yield 296 grains of sediment, whereof 76 grains are lime-stone, and the remainder a calcarious nitre. The sediment is dark brown, with a saltish and very bitter taste; and will ferment with Vinegar as well as with Oil of Vitriol, and will also turn green immediately with Syrup of Violets. The salt itself is of a yellowish brown colour, and has a saltish, nauseous, bitter taste. It is a kind of calcarious nitre, but inclines more to an alcali than most others of this class. It is not much frequented; but it is known that a quart of it will purge a robust country fellow. Cornwall. The mineral springs in this county, have never been taken notice of 'till very lately, and it is by Mr. Borlace in his survey of Cornwall. Madern Well is only a spring of pure water, and it rises in the parish of Madern, four miles west of Penzance. However, it is resorted to by many people that are afflicted with pains, aches, and stiffness of the limbs; and it has done many cures, which many be only owing to the coldness and purity of the spring.

Download or read book Transylvanian Dinosaurs written by David B. Weishampel and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2011-08-31 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the end of the time of the dinosaurs, Transylvania was an island in what was to become southeastern Europe. The island's limited resources affected the size and life histories of its animals, resulting in a local dwarfism. For example, sauropods found on the island measured only six meters long, while their cousins elsewhere grew up to five times larger. Here, David B. Weishampel and Coralia-Maria Jianu present unique evolutionary interpretations of this phenomenon. The authors bring together the latest information on the fauna, flora, geology, and paleogeography of the region, casting these ancient reptiles in their phylogenetic, paleoecological, and evolutionary contexts. What the authors find is that Transylvanian dinosaurs experienced a range of unpredictable successes as they evolved. Woven throughout the detailed history and science of these diminutive dinosaurs is the fascinating story of the man who first discovered them, the mysterious twentieth-century paleontologist Franz Baron Nopcsa, whose name is synonymous with Transylvanian dinosaurs. Hailed by some as the father of paleobiology, it was Nopcsa alone who understood the importance of the dinosaur discoveries in Transylvania; their story cannot be told without recounting his. Transylvanian Dinosaurs strikes an engaging balance between biography and scientific treatise and is sure to capture the imagination of professional paleontologists and amateur dinophiles alike.

Download or read book History of Palaeobotany written by A. J. Bowden and published by Geological Society of London. This book was released on 2005 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Often regarded as the 'Cinderella' of palaeontological studies, palaeobotany has a history that contains some fascinating insights into scientific endeavour, especially by palaeontologists who were perusing a personal interest rather than a career. The problems of maintaining research facilities in universities, especially in the modern era, are described and reveal a noticeable absence of a national UK strategy to preserve centres of excellence in an avowedly specialist area. Accounts of some of the pioneers demonstrate the importance of collaboration between taxonomists and illustrators. The importance of palaeobotany in the rise of geoconservation is outlined, as well as the significant and influential role of women in the discipline. Although this volume has a predominantly UK focus, two very interesting studies outline the history of palaeobotanical work in Argentina and China.
